This weekend was Macy's big dance recital. She had a blast and, once again, wow'ed us onstage. Besides that... I had a very successful first week at home with the kids. We spent a lot of time playing in the toyroom and in the pool. The hardest part for me has been letting go of the constant urge to pick up the house. I have to realize things are not always (okay NEVER) going to be in place with three kids in the house. I'm down to picking up only three or four times a day.... I'm sure I'll eventually tire of the whole thing and find myself simply "wishing" for a clean house - as I so vividly remember my own dear mother doing.

What follows are some highlights of the week. We played at the spray park, hosted Megan for a sleepover, attended Macy's final dance class/awards presentation and, of course, were ever present at the "Movie Magic" recital.
