Vincent and his family have returned from a 2 week vacation in Denver, CO.  They said all had a good time.  Of course, everyone has come back pretty worn out.  Just as we all do when we've gotten away from it all. 
The kids lounged all day yesterday as I watched them.  Toward the end of the afternoon I turned on the DVD player so we could relax in front of the boob tube;  they rolled around on the floor pretending to rest while I sat on the sofa pretending to knit.  Just as we were all getting cranky Mom came home and Sophia turned to me and said, " You can go upstairs now. "  So I did.
