These little Kiddos are HOME right where they belong!  Oh how I have missed them!  As we all sat together in the living room for family night tonight I wanted to cry I was so happy to have us all together again!  10 days was TOO LONG!  But I was able to get LOTS accomplished and feel ready for school to start!  Back to work tomorrow!  *sniff sniff*  I can't believe the summer is OVER already!  That was much too fast!  I swear Thatch and Aly grew just in the time they were gone and Maggie will be 5 months old this week!  Alyse was too cute when she got home this afternoon she introduced herself to me and asked me if I knew her name!  She then proceeded to introduce me to her brother named Thatcher!  ha ha!  She broke my heart though when she said. "I was really sad at Grandma's house because I thought that I was never going to see you again!"  Oh Sweet Pea!  You can't get rid of me that easily I am your Momma!  You are stuck with me FOREVER!  We had our first rehearsal tonight for the Stake Choir that Russ was asked to conduct and so we took the kids with us and dropped them off at the nursery with some of the young women.  Poor Thatch.  He was not about to let go of me after just getting me back!  He was quite upset when I walked out the door despite my promises to hurry back after rehearsal. Russ and I just smiled at each other when the chaos broke loose and the kids were running around making all kinds of noise!  It was so great to have a noisy house again!  Love you Aly and Thatch!  SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HOME SAFE!!
