The Jensen family (our daughter Christine, husband Jared, and children Joelle (8), Liam (6), Max (4), Dane (2), Lucas (9 months) — came for a weekend visit. They were here for an Alzheimer’s Fundraising Run (Jared’s mother is affected), and to visit with Jared’s family. We all got a chance to have a nice visit.

They are on the road now, which could be interesting with four children in the car (Joelle is staying here for an extended visit). Although they are used to the noise, I suspect.

So now the house is a bit quieter than it was this weekend. We enjoyed the noise and the visit, though.
