I left on my trip to Chicago after Lauren's birth on December 5. I got back to Tucson on December 18, and Grammar arrived for the holidays on December 20. Mary, Whitney and family arrived on December 24, and Claire and family arrived on the 25th. The last family left yesterday morning, January 3, and our winter roundup was in progress with meals to prepare for cowboys. Papa and I enjoyed the time with family, mealtimes, and playing with grandchildren, but I am tired. I relaxed all of today, thumbing through old magazines and taking a soaking bath. I will be ready for normal activities tomorrow! A day of rest is good.
