Wow, what a difference a couple of hours make in the atmosphere in a home.  The last of our kids left today and it's quiet around here now!  Not having a 3 year old buzzing around, the phone ringing for the older girls and their mom to visit with is just plain strange at this point!

What a pleasure it was to have all the girls and grandkids here for a visit.  Adding to that having one of our son-in-laws and his dad join us for a few days was the icing on the cake.  Now, if the other two had been able to be here too it would have been like having the ice cream too!!

It seems strange that we are in Iowa and they are all in AZ, may have to do something about that!
