He's Home!

We went to meet Tony at the airport last night. The kids all made welcome home signs for him, and they all managed to stay awake on the drive to the airport even though it was past their bedtime. They were so excited to finally see him walking down the ramp. And, of course, so was I! Today we took it easy. Tony slept in while we had our morning routine and got up in time for lunch. Then I finally got to look at all of his pictures from the trip.

This afternoon we built a house for the kids out of the small logs from a few trees we had cut down. Now, lest you think we are incredibly ambitious, we actually created the outline of a small house out under our cedar trees. I'll try to take a picture tomorrow. We took the idea from Tony's parents, who created a similar house in their backyard for the grandkids. Tanner loved it and really got into putting the logs down. He was ready to build a mansion!

After supper it was baths for the kids and then they all went to bed and so did Tony. He is exhausted and trying to get his days and nights back on schedule. And now I think it is bedtime for me, too!
