The volume level in the house has increased to it's previous levels.  All four boys are back home now.  Gina drove 18 hours round trip this past Saturday to get her kids.  They started school yesterday.  It is hard to believe we are less than four months  away from the end of school. This is week 2 of soccer.  Last week did not get rained out as I feared.  Instead we played on a soaked synthetic grass field.  Diving on that field after all the rain we had was very wet and cold.  We won despite the fact that four goals were allowed.  Not my best showin...
