For the last three weeks we have enjoyed two of our sons and their families visiting with us. We have had several picnics, two parties, visited museums, parks, carousels, swam, and enjoyed so much good ice cream. I have laughed, wrestled, played games, watched movies, read stories, and told stories.

It’s very quiet tonight. However, I can still hear the laughter and sounds of feet running up and down the stairs. The house is much neater tonight, but I would trade all the neatness for the clutter and clatter of cars, helicopters, planes, kites, pool noodles, legos, duplos, Lincoln logs, etc. I’m looking at candid photos and videos from the last few weeks. I’m still amazed that God has blessed us so much. Counting my blessings in this quiet night. I’m going to read for a little while to reacquaint myself with the quiet. It’s really fun to be a Papa!

Peace!
