A Family Get-Together

My brother Ron and SIL Deb were out in CA visiting with their daughter Erin and her family, including her new baby girl Mackenzie. They drove down to see us on Friday and spent the night with us before flying back to Iowa this morning. Both our girls, their hubbies and the grandsons were here. It was wonderful being all together!
