Our first day home is always a welcomed one. After enjoying luxury accommodations in Jackson Hole, sleeping in my own bed was still a great feeling.
We began our day in a sprint. John took James to school by 7:37am despite the previous late night coming home. I picked our dog, Rabbit, up at the kennel and took Ty to his swim lesson at 8:30am.

Our older kids came over at around 9:15am, and watched Ty for a few hours while John and I attended our design center appointment for the new house at 10am.
Being at the design center made the entire process feel more like a reality, but having an actual home will not feel real until the day we discover all our things in storage again. When we open up our boxes, in our home, as if it is Christmas Day. It's ironic how close to Christmas it will actually be when this time comes.
In the meantime, we enjoyed the rest of the day at the pool and in the camper with all the kids. We will remember this summer fondly, and I continue to cherish this time, especially when all the kids are spending time together.

I see a huge difference in James being around his siblings more often. He is always very excited to see them and
he talks about them when they are not with us. He wants them to experience everything he experiences.

Multiple times he told John and I, we should bring Haley, Marcella and Jack back to Yellowstone with us. It is in these moments, I know we have continually made the best decisions for our family. It makes everyday feel like Christmas Day, through the eyes of a child.
