We are home

Well we made it back safe and sound on Sunday. the 2 older kids that stayed home managed things just fine. They actually even cleaned the house :). We have caught up on our sleep and laundry. Today we will get back into the swing of regular life(whatever that is). I am working on some quilts and my flower gardens, plus a few meetings this week. We have talked to Aaron several times, he is adjusting well to California, (I mean who wouldn't?). The time change hasn't been bad for him. He won't start classes for a few weeks yet, but they will keep them busy. His graduation was very nice. So many men and women willing to serve this great country. I will post pictures when we get them into a computer file. He is very handsome in his dress uniform. We did not get to see him as much as we would have liked. We only saw him for 4 hours on Wednesday and 7 hours on Thursday and that was it. the girls were thrilled to hang on their big brother for a little while. We then went to Illinois and spent the weekend at a friends cottage and just relaxed, talked, played games and ate. It was a very good time away.
