A lot can happen in a week.
For example, you brothers can bag a moose during moose season. Here's hubby and brother at the site.
After snow on Wednesday, Thursday was lovely. Here's "Baby Elijah", Estelle's youngest cousin, showing us how much he can cruise around.
Aunt Sandy and the gang
Friday we went to Burlington for the day to do some shopping. Estelle preferred to stay behind with her cousins. When we returned, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Mary and Grammie had arrived. Here's Lisa reading to the girls:
Saturday was the Painting Party and Wes & Darlene's old house. Grammie and I were on kid duty. We went for a little stroll:

Sunday most of the sisters shipped out and 3 of the brother came in for a nice visit. In the span on 24 hours, all 11 of us were in the house. Here's Ed telling his moose story
It was so warm on Sunday that we could all eat on the porch - just 4 days after the snow!

Thomas and the kids have fun growing sea creatures in water
As you can see, we're busy. There are no photos of our lunch with my friend Becky, of Thomas donning skates and joining Wes in Stanstead on the ice, nor of Thomas speaking at Katie's French class at North Country High School, nor of lunch with Tyler in Newport. Oh well, I can be snapping photos every second! Or can I?

I can tell you have been very busy doing lots of fun things! We enjoyed all the photos!
I will say these mixed-up captions have set me giggling! Loved the pictures, and glad to see all are having fun.
Okay, this has to be my favorite way to have a hearty laugh, reading the captions that don't quite match up all the time!! Too funny!
Beyond that, wonderful to look back over the last week or so at all the great times, and to see all the things Julie, Thomas and Estelle have had away from Glover! We will miss them!!
We did it. USA back in the house, y'all!!!
