Together

and Mama and Issa are sleeping like babies.

Mama doesn't come right back, so Papa goes upstairs to check...

When Keesha sneaks downstairs for one last hug,
Mama goes back upstairs with her.

It has been a long week.
Mama and Papa have a lot to talk about.

Issa is sound asleep when Mama tucks him in.
"Oh how I've missed you, sweet baby boy."

Keesha gets a tight tuck. "Goodnight, Puppy..."

"Goodnight my sweet first-born," whispers Mama.

while Mama goes up with the kids.

He changes Issa,

Papa gets up. "I think that it's bedtime for all creatures great and small," he says.

The kids tease for their favorite lullaby.
Mama has missed her piano.

Mama is pleased and proud of them.

Colby has been practicing, too.

Keesha plays her new song for Mama.

Colby wins by one move.

After supper, Keesha and Colby have a game of checkers.
