Home Again

As of Sunday evening we are back in NY again.

We're still trying to recover from jet lag and time differences and settle into normal daytime routines again. It was easier on the way over to Australia than it seems to be coming back for some reason. The hardest thing mostly is getting Dashiell back to normal... he's not exactly of an age where you can explain that he needs to stay awake longer or go to sleep earlier in order to adapt his pattern back to normal for this time zone. Hopefully in the next day or two we'll get the hang of it again.

Tomorrow some frantic tidying and clearing away of suitcases and things because my brother arrives from Holland on Thursday to stay for just over 2 weeks. I'm really looking forward to that a lot. He'll be here for Halloween, which we don't have over in Europe, so hopefully that'll be fun for him. And hopefully it'll be more fun for us in our new home/town too than the last one.

Anyway, Dashiell is finally asleep, and so I'm just tempting fate by staying up and not sleeping while I can.
