Now they sleep?!

50 miles to St. Louis and it is snoozeville for these guys. I couldn't believe it. What about the 1950 miles of the previous three days? Let's just say that the way back did not go as smoothly as the way out to CA. But, honestly, those of you who know our kids know that we really still have very little room to complain. In God's great mercy they are much more mildly mannered than their mother. My theory is that since they aquired so many new skills over the summer, being strapped into a car seat for hours on end was not as acceptable. Nevertheless, we are home and glad to be here. Mike has strep, our yard looks like a jungle, Ridley is the handful I remember, and I am sitting here in absolute, wonderful quiet while everyone sleeps. Welcome home.
