Down come the Decorations

Well, another holiday season has come to a close with school starting again today - THANK HEAVENS! I still have about three weeks off to clean it all up and put it away. The two weeks went pretty peaceful. The kids helped Grams accomplish her goal of quilts for all (well - almost). No one had any explosive encounters. Token visits were experienced by those who felt moved to do so and extended family tolerated each other uneventfully, although obviously offended. All in all...pretty successful. Especially when most members of the family still found at least one opportunity to feel the spirit of Christmas sometime during the holidays!
Seriously, we are so blessed! All of our children are healthy. Our family circle is growing larger and richer with each new addition. Thirteen and counting grandchildren with three more grandchildren coming this summer. Grams is healthy. Grandma Wilbur is recovering under Melissa's (and Scott's) watchful eye. Our home is a safe, secure place and we are all progressing towards our goals. WE ARE BLESSED!
