After a week in the fast lane, Jon Gosselin returned to suburban life with his kids Tuesday.
The father of eight, who has been spending time in Saint-Tropez, Manhattan and the Hamptons, arrived back at the family home in Wernersville, Pennsylvania, around noon, where his two eldest daughters, twins Mady and Cara, 8, squealed with delight at the sight of their dad. His youngest three girls were being watched by a nanny in the backyard. Life in Wernersville is not quite as glamorous as Gosselin’s most recent activities, such as cruising on designer Christian Audigier’s yacht in France.
