Iowa Trip: "Family time" is gathering in the master bedroom and watching American Idol. (Due to a television/cable dispute, Fox network only comes in upstairs on rabbit ears drapped across the bedroom closet door which must be kept half open for it to work! haahaa)

We ate chocolates, knitted and voted thumbs up or down throughout the show. Matthew was finishing up his homework. It was great to snuggle into the family routine and pick up the rythm of their lives.
