They are gone

Stephen and family arrive on Friday afternoon . They left this morning. I must say it does change our house . Me, Vickie and the old tom cat have set routines not much excitement. The addition of five new bodies in the house is an adjustment for us. On Friday after a short visit we were off to pizza hut for dinner.We came back and got the boys settle for the night . The princess was awake and having a good time . I don't think i have ever seen a baby so happy. She should be walking by the time we see her again in about three weeks.
On Saturday after breakfast me and the boys rode down to the club to tell the guys no golf for me and show off the boys. We came back for a one on one football match with me as the ref. After a little golf carting , it was time for fishing . We chose the back yard pond and after about 30 minutes Marshall landed a nice two pond large mouth bass . He was a happy boy , but i could not get him to hold his catch, so i took the picture with the fish on the ground. The fish was returned to the pond. At that point Tim gave up and sat on the bench with VJ and played video games.
After lunch we drove to Angier to spend the afternoon with MOM. Stephen & Melissa meet us there, they had been out to look at the new school and ride Thur a few housing developments. We had a great afternoon and a wonderful dinner. After KP duty back home . SJ&MJ with the princess when out for a while. The boy were tired and went to bed , no problem.
We had a big breakfast and they are on the way home.
Great weekend , but it sure is a change for us. We will look forward to seeing them again on the 20Th of December.
The kid are all different , Marshall can be quite mature for 9. Tim is a typical 5 and Hannah is so happy always smiling . I showed Marshall a picture of me and my brothers and Marshall (sr) when I was about his age and ask him do you know who those people are . He point to me in the picture and said i know that is my Dad and pointed to Marshall and ask is that papa Sammy. Stephen i had a good chuckle .

I Stop by for a short visit with Nell and thanks her for that HD gift and for getting me started on this little writing experiment . She is doing well extend an invitation to her Xmas party.
Great weekend it is going to be warm and sunny this afternoon , so i think a little golf is in order.
