Phase one of the Schlueter Family get-together is underway. Two more batches of loved ones are due to arrive tomorrow and Saturday (including our darling little grandson), and we are most excited.

Here are four of our kids at Mitchell International after welcoming our daughter Mary home from school. Emmy barely slept last night, she was so excited to have big sis home again! Mary is our family artist and photographer. She has a fantastic eye for color and design, and she hopes to study graphic design after she finishes high school. Her watercolors are lovely!

It’s a lively household and likely to get livelier shortly…
