The house is finally quiet again.  It was very peaceful from after church until almost 5, and even then when they all got here there was only 15 plus 1, but there was still lots of noise and activity.  Sheila's meal was wonderful and we enjoyed the Porters the Rosbachs and Sharon plus a lovely young lady from Maryland who is a friend of Nicholas' and is out here attending BYU.  It was wonderful to see Colton, but I need to temper my expectations a bit.  I want him to perform the way that in reality will take a long, long time.  It certainly a better situation for him, but patience is still the key word.  As is the case whenever we get together I appreciate our family more and more. It is worth the hassle and is actually not an inconvenience at all.  It is just family, and I have a history with this group and I have and do choose them over anything else.  They sure do know how to attack a pantry though.  Funny, we had food left over from the meal, but the candy and cookies and rice crispy squares were all gone.  Quiet or noisy, hectic or serene my Sunday is over.  Right now I am thankful for a holiday tomorrow.  A good sleep, and little office work and some quality time with my wife and I will be a happy camper and ready to get back to it again on Tuesday.  It could have been better only if we had more of the family here with us. But in the real world....
