This was our last full day with Richard, Christiane, Andrew and Austin. They wanted to get a family photo so Ginny and I set things up in the living room and got all the exposures set just right. Finally, they boys seemed to be ready for the photo session and they were transported downstairs, swaddled up and the session began. Those two little guys were perfectly cooperative. I had planned to get the session over in a couple minutes, but the boys were just comfy and quiet, so we got all the photos we wanted, including a shot of each of them with Ginny. So today's shot is of the grandparents with Andrew (left) and Austin. How cool is this?

Tomorrow we head out on our return trip to Houston. We are going to spend 9 days on the way back. We are going to stop in Williamsburg, Jamestowne, Yorktown and Richmond then spend a weekend with Robert, Laura and Peyton in Alpharetta. When all the shouting is over, we will have spent a few days short of two months on this adventure.

The peasants rejoiced, peace returned to the realm and life is good.
