Your comments are so sweet. Thanks very, very much.

Today is the letting down sort of day. Tired, especially after having a busy service at church yesterday with the Bishop there and a Confirmation. Luncheon afterward. Much moving of tables and chairs (my husband again), unwrapping food and clean-up afterward. And with our second son home today, we're riding high on that wonderfulness. Much emotion here and there.
I want to share something funny about our youngest daughter (always known as the least one when I write). She has glasses on in the wedding shot of her, but she doesn't really wear a prescription pair. She picked those frames out at the dollar store, I banged out the lenses and she's worn them for about two weeks. Black with those rhinestones on the corners, but no lenses. Just makes me laugh. She puts them on first thing in the morning, and wears them all day.
And as to our clothes. Several things came from the thrift store: my ankle boots, the least one's dress and her boots, middle daughter's boots, my husband's bow-tie (he bought four), his jacket and his wingtips. We made out real good at a couple of thrift stores. Amazing when you think about it.
Now looking forward to non-dramatic days. School begins here tomorrow with me teaching only the two girls---and it delights me to show you their sweet faces in the pictures. Life surely can now be about more mundane things. It's been about the son who just got married and his two rascal brothers for way too long. The children at home finally admitted the other day that they were tired of everything centering around those boys. Oh my. Not what I wanted to hear, but needed to be aware of nonetheless.
Tomorrow is a new day. Thankful for that. New beginnings.
