Where do I start??

The holidays have gone by in a blur almost - but we've been having a great time - an illness here and there but nothing running through the group!!  

I'm not sure how I will get through my trove of photos - I may just pull out those that speak to me and comment!

Once again Sully and Isla have become bosom buddies - it's a delight to be with these two!  And of course we did Clocker's Corner and the morning workouts at Santa Anita.

A new addition to the schedule was the Quidditch Match on the 30th - this may become a standard event!!  And it starts with the sorting hat!

 

Rhoda and Deacon - always charming in their own ways - but neither seemed in a hurry to walk!!

 

An addition this year was Noah's girlfriend Taylor and her daughter Keesa - we love them both and were glad they could be with us.  The park across from Harry's house continues to beckon the little ones!!

I need to get these events in chronological order I guess - but at least I'm starting!!  Hannah, Rhoda, Eliza, Matt, and kids are still with us - Hannah, Eliza, and Matt are at the movies right now!!

And then there were three!

Matt, Eliza, and kids left while I was at school, so there are no farewell shots.  I came home to a quieter house - and immediately missed the patter of little feet and Star Wars Land Speeders racing down the hall.

 

Ella made a quilt for Miss Rhoda.  With a label all its own.

 

She is quite the little seamstress!!

 

We enjoyed a meal at Harry and Dawn's the night before Eliza left.  Yummy chilli on rice.

 

Seems like "photo bombers" abound these days.

 

Eve had gym, but we stayed long enough to get to see her.

 

Theo insisted on closing his eyes for every shot!!

 

Eliza and Hannah see a lot of each other - and we get to see them both in a couple of weeks when we go fro Rhoda's blessing, but we will still miss having "the little kids" in the house once more!!

At least we have Hannah and Robbie and the lovely Miss Rhoda for another few days!
