Saturday evening, I dropped Kate and kids off at Dulles Airport. Traffic was dreadful going, but OK coming home through DC. I've been recovering from the visit and the post-visit depression ever since. I keep expecting to hear the kids' voices in my very quiet house. I have never missed Kate and the kids this much. When I visit them, I happily come home to my house, where it is quiet and empty. Somehow it's different this time, when they have been here for 4 weeks. I'm sure I'll get over these feelings, but I just haven't felt like blogging since they left.
I've been re-decorating my house over the past few days. It's time to put away the summer stuff and get the fall stuff out. Mostly done now, although I have to replace one of the decorative flags outside. This requires a step-stool outside, which is why it hasn't been done already. I'll get to that and to trimming the grass tonight or soon.

your fall decorations are just great - can't really get into pulling my stuff out yet
I hear ya......it's very quiet when mine leave, too, but.....usually by the time they leave, I am ready for some quiet time!
Daily relationships are the best and missed most when gone - you realize how much you miss what each day brings with them.
Nice job on your fall decorations.
Amazing how much we miss the kids after they leave.
