Rand, Suzanne & Cayden came last Thursday and left on Monday and it has taken a few days for me to get over being sad. I took Rand to the airport Wed. night and hopefully will see Suz and Cayden again before they leave on Sunday. We had such a good time - Cayden has 2 speeds - fast-forward, and stop. He is either moving like crazy or asleep. But we enjoyed them at the cabin and just hanging around was fun too. Now I'm looking forward to Jeff, Kim and family and Jules coming in about 3 weeks! We will have such a good time at LAUVA!

Yesterday was Father's Day and I enjoyed talking to all my kids this weekend. I especially loved being online all at the same time, but I had to concentrate really hard to keep up. Kim & Jeff, thanks for updating everyone on the expanding size of your family... I kept a very good secret since Mother's Day! We are sure excited for Rand, Suzanne and the C-Monster to arrive on Thursday. I think by then I will really feel like summer has arrived. I'm so grateful to have Carl as my best friend, and appreciate him more now that I see him less. (Does that make sense?) And I'm proud of the fine fathers my sons have become. So..., I just have to say that right now
LIFE IS GOOD!! (And yes, I did hike to the place in the above photo - in Sedona, Arizona.
