We're back

Well, we made it home. We left California at 6:30 am on Sunday and got in our house at 3:00 Sunday afternoon. It was a long trip made longer because neither Rich or I got any sleep the night before.

I don't know if Rich told you that my mom had her knee replaced. The surgery went great and her recovery is progressing on schedule. It was pretty painful, but it gets better everyday. At this point she's not sure she wants to have the other knee replaced, but my guess is that opinion will change in a few weeks when she can walk better.

The kids were great while we were away. Anna got sick the night before my mom's surgery and ran a fever for about a week, so she was a little cranky. Hunter and Elizabeth just loved having lots of people to play with. And they of course kept everyone laughing with their antics. My niece, Emily, and her boyfriend, Matt, took Hunter and Elizabeth to Matt's cousin's birthday party. Apparently they had a jump house with a slip and slide attached. The kids had a great time and love Emily and Matt. They had to laugh at Hunter when the we're in the car. The kids were quiet and all of a sudden Hunter says "Look Beth, Fords". They'd passed a Ford dealership and Hunter got excited.

The kids are upstairs right now throwing a birthday party for Hunter's match box car named Sporty. I'm amazed by their little imaginations and the things they come up.
