Holidays

After a wonderful holiday with Grandma and Poppy, aunts, uncles and cousins, we are happy to be back home. The kittens and cats missed us immensely--we were greeted with a chorus of purrs, meows and pleas for attention (okay, and food, which they'd greedily gobbled and needed more of!) and slept piled on top of us, as if they could make sure we wouldn't leave them again. We had a pile of mail, a pile of eggs in Lila's cat house (only one in the coop!), a pile of pine needles to vacuum up in the living room--and a VAST pile of things to unpack and put away. We spent all day yesterday getting things back in order, and were rewarded with a nice day today of homemade blueberry muffins and coffee, movies, and talking while the kids played with new toys and got reacquainted with old ones.

It's nice to get away, but even nicer to come home!
