Good morning, good morning.

We are back in Chicago after spending 9 days in California and we are missing the family so much.

I will, however, say it’s nice to ship the older kid back to school. Ha. He is in desperate need of some structure and routine please.

But I never regret the crazy moments.

Not even for a second.

Mother’s Day weekend was filled with so much laughter and screaming and squeezes and squishes and kids running around. And it just made me the happiest.

Nani sitting there, watching the chaos unfold.

She built this.

She built us.

The weekends were great.

The weeks were hard. Trying to juggle work and the kids left very little time to spend with Nani (which was the whole purpose of our trip). But we loved every moment we got with her.

It’s getting a little harder these days to say bye to California and bye to family. Ishu really misses them all so much. If it were up to him, we’d all live in one big house – sitting right on top of each other. Preferably on a tennis court. With balls flying everywhere.

Anyway, we miss you family. We love you. And already manifesting another trip there ASAP.
