They filled the house to overflowing. Then they vanished, all at once, after a week of sleep deprivation, tons of great homemade food, somersaults, kitchen dancing, walks through the neighborhood, squirt gun fights, over-the-roof football lobbing, and loads of laughs.

The things they left behind:

1. 5 hot dogs
2. 8 working squirt guns
3. Redecorated basketball court
4. lavender button-down shirt: doesn’t appear to fit anyone in the family… (pictured)
5. Crabtree & Evelyn bath products (pictured, still plenty in the bottles)
6. black tee shirt (pictured)
7. plastic storage bag for travelling toddler-sized crib mattress (pictured)
8. Axe bath product (bottle near empty, but, still…)
9. 3 loads of sheet & towel laundry
10. 2 funky old lawn chairs
11. bag of corn tortillas
12. 88 photo memories of the things we did
13. a green plastic thing (pictured)
14. an empty fridge
15. a quiet house
16. 2 tired, but lonely grandparents

It ended way too quickly. Call or text us if you recognize and want to claim any of the left-behinds.

And, please come back soon. We love you.
