Amazing week... Recovering today

We had an AMAZING week of family reunion time here in Sylva with our Hawkins family - 12 adults and 14 children! Today most of the family packed up and headed home, Jim went back to work, and the three boys and I sat around the house feeling wiped out and talking together about all the things we had enjoyed, like tubing and picnicking at the river, racing up and down the driveway with cousins, Timo learning the "Guess Who?" boardgame, family talent show... I look forward to loading all the photos and sharing them!

Timo spent three hours this afternoon listening to an audiobook and reading books on our bed. I couldn't even get him to budge at suppertime. "I'm going to keep having my quiet time," he explained.
