Back to the grindstone...

The girls are home and it will be nice to get back into a routine again. They had such a fun time and it was hard for them to leave Grandma Jane, Grandpa Ted and their cousin Joshua. It was fun for me to fly to Utah to get them too. Although I still had homework on the fly and a test to study for (took the test this morning, did well) it was nice to feel like I had a few days break. It was good to see Dave, Ophelia, Joshua and Aaron. They boys are awesome! We can't wait to go to China one day to visit them. We (all the girls) did lots of shopping (me - school shopping for Jen and Nic since today is their first day). We found lots of great sales and cute clothes. We played soccer at the park, went miniature golfing, got to eat at El Sol, and had a "birthday party" for everyone with presents, cake and ice cream. On the way to the airport we stopped by my sister Holli's house and visited with her, husband Matt, and children Luke and Lauren. We are so happy that Matt is doing well (3 weeks post open heart surgery). The kids are so cute! I will let the girls post when they get home about their first day of school...ha! that'll be fun.
