Family Weekend

I spoke too soon about the infection-causing bugs being annihilated. I'm pretty sure I developed a sinus infection on Friday. Harrumph. No complaints here...things could be worse. We were still able to spend some time visiting family this weekend. On Friday we had lunch with KK's Great-Great-Aunt Helen and cousins Janet, Paula, and Faith. Spending time with them doesn't happen often enough because of distance and schedules. Helen and her family took me under their wings and put up with me when I first moved to Colorado, and I am more grateful than I can express. Any time spent with them is special and something I appreciate and enjoy!
On Friday night we stayed at Nama's (KK's word for Grandma) and had dinner with her and Auntie K. On Saturday KK spent the day with Nama while Daddy and I helped some friends move into their new home. She kept Nama busy by emptying cupboards, rearranging everything she could get her hands on, and building towers "higher and higher!" We had planned to stay until Sunday because Nama was having a jewelry party at her house, but my sinuses got the best of me. We headed back home so that Nama could prepare for her party without having the little tornado (aka KK) at her feet and so I could nurse my sinuses. On the way home we stopped at her cousin C's house and they had a great time playing for the rest of the evening. Today we didn't leave the house. I did some spring cleaning and schemed up some new ideas for redecorating the house. Which we'll probably finally accomplish in, oh, say fifteen years? It's fun to pretend, anyway.

Finally, I am excited to share that a friend has started a new blog. The story is long, but I'll share that her husband overcame a life-threatening allergic reaction to an antibiotic. In her blog she writes about their journey to wellness and SO MUCH MORE. She is a very inspirational writer, so if you get a chance please stop by and visit Mama Panda at Rolling on the Liver.
