Family values

So now we're in California. And we're not alone. Josh and Melanie and their kids are here, and my friend Erin is here, and Tess and Jahdiel are here. Plus the daytime visitors - Molly, Bubba, Granny. There are a lot of people here - and I feel bad for Mom who is hobbling around on her broken ankle. But - it is so nice to see everyone, and so nice to have everyone here at the same time.

That said, Erin and I are taking off today. We're goin' SHOPPIN'. It's nice to see everyone and all, but priorities must be made. And then tomorrow pretty much everyone except the old folks and the kids are going to the Oz Fest. (And, yes, Erin and I are among the old folks...) But still, it's nice to have the family gathered together...
