Smelling home

Elie had a cranky day yesterday, with a few melt-downs... When I went into her room to "talk" she burst into tears and started listing off all the things she misses about Michigan and her home. For nearly an hour (I think even longer) she cried and spilled her thoughts on traveling - something she "never wants to do again for a very very long time" - missing her bed & having to share a big one with her brother all these days, missing her school, friends & Sparky's class at church... and on and on.

Finally she said, "and Mom, most of all I just miss the smell. Oregon smells so different and I just want to smell Michigan again!"

Our favorite Jadon quote for this trip... "Where's the sanitiser - I need to sanitize my hands, again."
