Back to normal?

All the kids and grandkids have gone home. Our house is back to normal, or so I thought.
It seems that since this was the first time any of the grandkids have been to our house, it has changed... taken on a different air so to speak. The house will never be the same. It now echos of their presence. I've heard of this phenomena, but now I believe it. Marie and I are just so proud of everyone. Brian has a beautiful loving family, John's life is headed in the right direction, Kathy is just about done with France and her education, everyone is doing wonderful and we are so happy for and proud of them all.
