While we will need to wait until Christmas to have all of our children (and grandchildren) under one roof again, the past couple of days have led to an even livelier household as the Jacks came down from Anchorage to join in the fun. We've had to use all of the beds (including in the cabin) and an air mattress, but Rob still found himself sleeping on a camp pad on the floor. We've stayed up playing games and talking well past our bed times and had breakfasts of pancakes (including dark chocolate pancakes), sausage, and bacon the past two mornings. In short, it's been a fun few days.
The Jacks left for home a couple of hours ago, but the house is still filled with the sounds of (mostly) happy children as multiple people are playing games or building LEGOs. Katrina and Peter's family are only here for a couple more days, and I'm already not looking forward to the quiet. Sure, there are times that I have hidden away for a bit to rest, but I generally prefer the chaos over the calm.
