Quiet on the Home Front

This is Rowan. He celebrated his 5th birthday with us here in Minnesota.

The Grandkids have come and gone and, now, all is quiet on the home front!

It was a wonderful week. The grandkids were here -- all four of them -- along with their parents. Five of our six children were here for a time over the long weekend. It was very pleasant to see them all -- along with our sons-in-law, too.

Tomorrow I can get back to some serious blogging. For now, I'll just give you a little photographic look at the exhausting weekend.

Daphne, Anna, Rowan and Caroline are ready for the fireworks show!
