Family Portrait

....the first one in 18 months.
It's been wonderful. Spike has never seen this many people in the house and is beside himself trying to get to know everybody. The house feels crammed with people and this is just our nuclear family , and Jim who took the picture. Even without grandchildren the house feels full...and full of life for the first time in a looong time.

A trip to Trail House for beer has been accomplished as have three trips to the store. It is warm enough to barbeque hamburgers and sit outside to eat them.

Matt will be here for a week so I will catch up later. I don't want to miss a minute of family togetherness today, so will get back out to the porch and a glass of wine.....
