A Housewife’s Vacation

I haven’t written in about a week but for good reason of course! DH was in port so I’ve been spending my time Skyping, facebooking and waiting for phone calls from a foreign land. I’ve also been “on vacation” since Tuesday.

Vacation for me is going anywhere that I have extra hands to help me. Currently it happens to be at my parents’ home which is also my childhood home. I really love being back here. It’s filled with familiar places, familiar people and boat loads of memories both good and bad but really mostly good. The best part about it is having two other people “Grams and Grampy” to little O. O absolutely adores them. He is quite the snuggle bug with his warm squishy Grampy. Is it strange that I think he does it because I get jealous? But really he looks at me like “haha I’m snuggling Grampy, neener, neener, neener”! Despite my yearning that he would snuggle more with me it’s pretty freaking adorable!

We’ve also had the great opportunity recently to Skype with Dada. O loves and obviously misses his dada. Every time his face pops up on my phone O’s eyes light up and he says “Dada”! Sometimes he’ll take my phone and carry dada around with him while I follow and talk to DH. It’s very sweet.

So we have a few more days of vacation before we head back home. I like being home because it’s my home and I enjoy seeing all my friends. We have a great playgroup/ parent group starting soon. Filled with old friends new friends and people I haven’t met yet. It’s always good to have something to look forward to!
