So here's the short of it, 
Today we had a great day of visiting. 

And here's the long.

We met with a bunch of the Richelsons, some friends, and a bit of my family at the CountryPlace Restaurant  today for lunch.  It really was nice!  Max had told his Grammy before they left that he might be shy -- but he really seemed to be in such a great mood. ''

This evening we had time for visiting and a light supper.  Here's a picture of the four siblings.  It sure was good to have them all home.  Here's hoping we get in some really good time together.
