Finally, back from beyond and missing the kids

Well, the rascals are certainly growing and are about as sweet as they can be.  Nancy spoiled them to my heart's content!
I sat down on the floor and they piled onto my lap just as they were supposed to do.  They were nice and warm and they fell asleep after they showed me that they are champion ear snufflers, lickers and nuzzlers.  Champeeeeeen kids!  Two fell out of my lap, but landed asleep and stayed that way!  This was after frantic playing on the floor with me cheering them on.
Got a bunch of pictures.  Posting a representative few.  More on Monday.  Hard keeping up today with the tons of mail, the kids, the patients, etc. etc. etc....

Curious and curiouser....

Tearing up the sheep!

More tearing up of the sheep!

Rascally tearing up of a unicorn!  They ARE terriers!

Lap full o' puppies.  Sweet little lap warmers.

Stuffing should be flying soon!

More!

In and out.

What in the world is that?!!!!

Ohia blossoms at the volcano.

My Hawaii living room and dining room.

An evening visitor.  Probably over four inches across, wing span.  Nancy told me what it is because her son is an entomologist, but I have forgotten what she told me.

Some of the handsome males I was hugging while I was away.  Sean on the left, Kyle on the right.

Michelle painted the picture.  She's very talented.

My front porch with a view of the banana patch and breadfruit tree.

My new stove.

Well, time for me to hit the road home.  Tired isn't even the word!
We will snuggle big time when I get home with all these kids....
The Curmudgeon has arrived HOME!!!!
