Last Friday (before the holiday), we went to another state to see family for the holiday. Dad got some gift cards which I know he will put to good use. Mom got a new griddle which was a good thing as she had had the last one for 17 years and it was worn out! I (JT) got an awesome scarf my very own G. Jo made for me that you will rarely see me without now. I love it. Kaylee got a bunch of new clothes which fits her 11-year-old personality.
While in the other state, we got to see both sets of grandparents, two great-grandparents, and most of my aunts and uncles. Dad sure loved playing with the babies but it was nice to give them up when it was time for bed. It was a good trip for all. We had to leave a little bit earlier than expected as the weather was predicted to be bad in the travel route. As it turns out, we ran into some rain but nothing significant. We did stop at IHOP on the way home the day of the holiday. They could not keep the power on to save their lives! It was a very interesting dining experience.
Dad worked the last three days this week (the rest of us did not have to work or go to school. Ha ha). We have family coming in today to celebrate Mom's birthday with us (they are coming for another reason too but this sounds good and might make my mom feel better!). My mom will be ... I know better than to put that on here!
Dad and I are going to another place to worship today. My dad will be speaking. My good friend's dad preaches there regularly so I know the place well as I have gone with them in the past. This is the sixth out of the last nine Sundays Dad has been away so we are ready for him to be back home. I think he is ready even more than we are (YEP! -j).
That's all folks!
Here is JT in his new scarf.
