Recovering from the weekend

We traveled to Ohio over the weekend and had a great time with family.  Brady's birthday is rapidly approaching, so we really wanted him to have some time with his cousin, Jack.  It has become a tradition for the two of them to get together in the fall and play football in the backyard, catch up on funny SNL impressions, and just be together.  They share quite a bond.  Grandma Joan hosted their get-together (bless her heart), and I think she had as much fun as the boys.  I got to go on a shopping trip with mom and my sis, Angie.  The three of us had such a wonderful time laughing and and just enjoying each other.  We also visited Brad's dad and grandmother in the nursing home.  It was great to see them, but it will be so nice when they both get to go home.  Mom fixed a wonderful lunch on Sunday with lots of my favorites.  Clayton was there (Angie was sick-boo), so I got to pester him like the little sister that I am...  It's a miracle I lived to write about it.
