Missing the sun already!

We flew out of Nashville yesterday at 5:30pm and arrived in Portland at 11:30pm and stayed at Shannon's place to get some zzz because Im still trying to adjust to the 3 hour time difference.  I missed the kids soo much and couldnt wait to get home to hold them.  It was 90 and sunny when we left, it was so nice I forgot how this rainy weather can drag you down. 
When I walked in the door Joanna flashed me that to die for smile that makes you wish she was old enough to scoop up and squeeze and Joseph ran over and gave me a huge hug,then Grandma when she came in. I was quickly reminded of how well Joseph can communicate his wants.  After the niceties he kept asking Grandma "Go to truck, catch fish?" " I wanna catch big fish" "go fishin?"  
Joseph went fishing with Mike, Papa, uncle Jason, Kam, Dalton and Trystan on Saturday and caught two trout.  Papa said he was holding a fish Joseph had caught so he could touch it.  Joseph moved forward with caution and just as he touched the tail it flopped in his hand and Joseph jumped back about two feet, it seems he is getting older and  has learned to not jump with both feet unless its off the coffee table.
How did I ever manage without a digital camera?  I have about 300 pictures and videos from Nashville.  Had it been 35mm I would have looked like someone on Safari.  I cant wait to share them but first I must do all the dredded unpacking and laundry that follows a nice vacation.
