Is the house quiet again?

Well, on the last night of their visit here, we helped with the washing clothes, cleaning, and packing stuff.  In the morning, daddy will be heading to the airport bright and early.
Maria and Christopher.

Maria's flight was at 0800 hrs so Keith and Maria left to the airport aroudn 0600 and the garage door sound woke Christopher up.  But, he was a happy kid: played with mommy, ate, got changed and back to bed in an hour. 

While he slept, Chimge helped with the packing and by the time, Keith got back, they all had gotten ready and had breakfast and Christopher had just gotten up.   

Keith did some cleaning and we all went to downtown Salt Lake for some last minute sightseeing - this time with Chimge and Christopher

Inside the State Capitol Building with the replica of the Liberty Bell 
Capitol Building stairs 
Outside - are you folks cold yet - it was about 20F. 
Sunny but still cold for Alabama / Georgia folks 
Then, we went to this cemetery by the VA hospital - last year Keith and Chimge saw herd of deer there; so we figured we might see some more.  Yep, we found some - when the Alabama boys wanted some deer for dinner, Christopher cried in protest. 

To save the deer, we took them to Olive Garden for lunch.  
Christopher was readnig the menu and fell sleep - there were a lot of stuff to figure out which one to pick.

After dropping the Norris family at the airport, we visited with Grandma Cook - she was happy to see Christopher and how much he has grown.  
And, finally home - and the house was quiet and Christopher had all the space on the couch - he has the full attention again - and all the noise in the house will be his and his alone. . .

It was nice having family over - some little people for Christopher to play with, and some mouths for daddy to feed, and some hands to help mommy with holding and dancing with Christopher.
