Julie chased them all out of the room then, so she could send an e-mail back to Gloria and Chad, she also reminded Katie that it was time to get ready for bed, she realized that time had gotten away from them, while they were so involved in looking at the many photo's.
After catching up on all her e-mail, she went to find Katie and get her tucked into bed, even though she thought at seven she was very grown up, "she will always, be my baby girl," thought Julie. As she passed by Kevin's room she saw him laying on the bed talking on his cell phones, no doubt to one of his many little girlfriends, Julie tapped her watch, to let him know it was getting late and time to be getting off the phone, he nodded, he got the message, his brother seemed to be fast asleep already, they were good boys and she was thankful.
Later she joined her husband in front of the TV to watch the eleven o'clock news together, as was customary for them.

As the new week began, Starke had gone into the station, as he often did on a Monday and again sometimes on a Friday, that way he kept abreast of what was going on, the captain and the mayor knew that he did not need the income, of being a police officer, and also that he was an asset to this station house, and so they allowed him to come and go at will and to work from home wherever he chose to, because either way he got the job done, and was instrumental in stopping crimes, sometimes before they occurred, the Internet was a powerful tool when used by an expert.
Candee would stay home today, and work from home when she was not keeping an eye on Katie and Marie, who would spend most of the day no doubt in the playhouse. She would fix lunch for the girls and also Kevin and Kyle, if they were going to be there, they were busy boys, this summer with all of their friends and activities.
