There was always lots of hugs to go around. Uncle Bill got some loving from Christian

Will and Christian have the same t-shirts. It says "I do all my own stunts" and after the accident prone week Christian had - including black eye from falling into the chair, blackened cheeck from being thrown across the yard when hit by a swing, blackened goose-egg head from a fall at the playground - I would venture to say that Christian's not so great at doing his own stunts!

Camouflage power!! I think Madison was a good influence on Campbelle's quest to become more 'well rounded (as she says). It seems her need to wear dresses every day has diminished slightly. Girls can be cute and adorable - and tough - while wearing camouflage.

Christian could have been glued to Will for the two weeks if he had his way. Will is definately his best buddy! I was surprised to not have more tears from Christian when we said goodbye to everyone at the airport on Thursday - but it took Christian until we sat down on the plane and then he looked around and asked "Where's Will?" When I broke the sad news that Will had to stay in Minnesota, Christian said "Wwwwwhaaaat?? (like it was unbelievalbe) and was very, very sad.

We love you Gallaghers. Thanks for a great, great time. They've promised to come visit in August (now the world knows you've committed!). See you then!
