So we are back, and this time it is for real. We were back yesterday, but there wasn't much time to sort of sit back and say, "Okay, we're back!" Mommy did a lot of unpacking, and Daddy was setting things up at work for a bit, other than the concert of course. But today was different.
It's funny getting acclimated to civilian life again, after being away for so long. We were at church this morning, which went well. Our car is having a few problems, and it is the only one we have left. That said, we're considering getting a new one pretty soon. We'll see how long this one we currently have holds out.
The weather here has been outrageously hot, although Nana and Ye-Ye have come over repeatedly to water flowers in out absence. Still, everyone's lawns have taken a beaten, especially when you consider that it was pouring rain just about every day before we left. Now that we're returning, the cooler weather is starting to return a bit with us as well, or at least it is overcast and not so bad out there at the moment. Not as bad as it could be, anyway.
We watered the plants and just did some cleaning up today. Unpacking, and looking at photos, and pretty much staying indoors as much as we could. Willis Carrier should be a name on everyone's lips, an inventor of the highest caliber, alongside the names of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. This is the guy who invented air conditioning, or is at least credited with it. It's one of those things you're profoundly grateful for each summer in Georgia. There are just a few weeks where it seems unbearable to go outside at midday.
We picked up the final Disney Infinity 2.0 character at Downtown Disney, and tested him out today: The Green Goblin. Not entirely sure why they chose to go with this incarnation of the villain, versus the more traditional route. Nevertheless, we do have him. Madison and Daddy tried out some of the new carnival levels on the game using the Green Goblin, who has all kinds of great threatening catch-phrases after his victories.
This adds so much irony after playing a game of virtual skee-ball: "Behold! The Might of the Green Goblin!"
Anyway, it was a quiet afternoon after KidPak. This morning, we continued our Space Camp series with a message entitled "Failure is Not an Option." But we also had another vision for the morning, a bit where we talked about Father's Day. That was today, of course. We wished our fathers a happy day, and Madison said as much to Daddy repeatedly. Also, she made a card for me, one with a scavenger hunt involved - it made me go from room to room and eventually, I was able to go into one room where she was hiding. She popped out and said, "Happy Father's Day!" And then gave me a sweet hug.
Such a wonderful day, Father's Day.
