Two weeks ago, Julie's parents came for a visit. Today, my mom's coming to stay for a few days. And this weekend, Julie's brother and his friends will be here.

It's fun having company, but we sure are cleaning house a lot these days. I guess we think our guests have a lower tolerance for clutter than we do.

I've been telling Maggie that her Grandma's coming to visit, and she always perks up and runs to the front door. That makes me pretty happy.
