Back from longest hometown stay in 7 years

So we are back in the bay - what a relief. For those of you who don't know, we've been in our hometown for two funerals from a thurs to the following Sat, minus a couple of nights in between. I find that with each passing of a life there is a time of sadness but also of reflection on our current choices and maybe our future choices. In my own perspective, life is far too fleeting, especially to put up with anyone's B.S.  (I can hear my hubbie saying BE - ESEE in espanol, love you bbc). I try to focus on living in the present because when I'm living in the past I'm sad - either because I long for things to be the way they "used to be" or in some circumstances think about how they used to suck :-) When I live in the future and in future choices I have anxiety. Living in the present is where it's at - I've decided and I continue to work on this focus.

Not all of the trip was sad - we were blessed to be able to see a ton of family and there are a few special images burned in my mind:

#1 Charlie was pushing his cousin Eden's barbie "ride-on" car around Jillian's house when Eden decided she wanted to have her turn and sat down. Charlie started pushing her on the car around the house :-)

#2 Walking from the car toward the playground where my husband pushed my little boy in the swing....what a sight.

#3 Watching my husband from the back of the church in his suit: strong, steadfast, and super handsome. (I was going to put sexy for the extra "s" alliteration affect but is that too much on a family blog? LMAO)

We're glad to be home, more pics of the little man to come soon!
