After a month away in the "States" it is great to be home. Our first guests arrived before our jetlag could were off. Paul & Dawn are such a pleasure around the house, we miss them already. Henry is back to School with the new teacher and loving it. I have no guests to feed today, so I finally have time to post some photos from the past week & a half... enjoy!
