Claire (still in her PJs) got one picture with Grandma and Grandpa Hatch before they left to head back to Oklahoma the morning after we got home.  Many thanks to them, as well as to Grandpa Rich and Grandma Jo for all their help with Seth, Kate, Grant and Zane while we were away.  It isn’t always easy to manage the lives of four busy kids, but their grandparents did a great job – and maybe spoiled them just a little bit, too!  By all accounts, the kids had a complete blast while we were gone.  In fact, we aren’t totally convinced that the kids really wanted us to come back . . .
