The Long Road Home

Tomorrow Seth and I embark on our last vacation before we will be a family of four. We are headed to Maine to visit Seth's family. Seth's sister is getting married on September 4th and since I won't be able to travel, Seth has decided that he won't be traveling either, which I appreciate more than words can express. I hate to miss her wedding, but am really looking forward to visiting with her and her fiance this weekend.

Since Seth and I have been together, just over 2 years, he has been trying to find a way to bring us all "home". He loves his family and the life he had growing up in Maine and wants our kids to have the same kind of life. I think Seth sees a lot of himself in Adrien when it comes to imagination and finding ways to make things work and problem solving. I would love to move back east and look forward to it. We would be close to my parents as well as his whole family.

My family has always been very important to me as well. No matter how many times I have left or where I have gone, I have always been able to come home. Before my parents moved to New York a couple years ago, my parents, sister, Adrien and I all lived in the same house, for a number of years. It was hard at times, but it was even harder when we all went in different directions.

Adrien, baby, Seth and I will make our way back "home" some day. For now we are loving the visits and the chance to spread our wings and find our own way as a family.
