One Fine Weekend

I would like to say come Friday night I was feeling a lot better, and I was. Then it hit about 7:00 that night. I felt ten times worse than I had in the 2 previous days. I went to bed and slept. It was a long night and I can't say I was comfortable. Saturday I woke up feeling much better. I did take a morning nap and that really seemed to help. Then we made our way to Detroit to see Anthony's brother.

It was a nice warm day. It may have been cloudy but it felt like a beautiful spring day. Sunlight would come through the clouds and it was beautiful.



Eli told us Uncle Steven was coming from the "Soldier House." I think that is just too cute! He also informed Anthony that he needed to go to the Soldier House.


We got to the airport and rode the moving sidwalks. Eli loved them.




Unfortunately Uncle Steven was not in uniform. They are not supposed to travel in uniforms anymore as they are targets. I was super bummed. So we did not get any reunion pictures because I saw him too late. That is ok though. Eli loved waiting for bags and stood like a little man with his hands in his pockets with the older boys just waiting.

Miss L loved that there was a lot of space to go if we would let her. She loved to just watch everybody.



We headed to eat after we met those that went for graduation and enjoyed some good food. I had one of the best salads I have had in a long time. I downloaded pictures and found these I am assuming Anthony took so here you have another one of our finest.............

We are so proud of Steven. He has changed physically and mentally but under it all is still Steven. He rode home with us. We were able to hear some of what he did for training. It was interesting. He has so many opportunities ahead of him and we can't wait to see where he goes.

We got home and two days of doing nothing spurred me into a cleaning spree. The kids went to bed and I cleaned the entire house. It felt good.

I still felt a little under the weather yesterday, but was much improved. The kids had a good day also. They wrestled a lot of the day together.

They both love to wrestle. They love it more when Dad is involved but with settle for each other.



I plan to get some more organizing done and things gone through this week. Hopefully we accompolish it.
I have some birthday planning to begin and a lot of scrapbooking to catch up on. It should be a nice calm relaxing week.

I leave you with a photo of Miss Goof! This is how she is every night after her bath. She cheers her brother on as he runs through the house back and forth in front of her. She giggles, claps, and screams. It is funny to watch and always makes me smile inside because these are the moments that make my day.
