On Saturday we headed to Dewitt to visit family. We went to my parents house where Jon, Beth and Libby were visiting.
Will came over as well for lunch and we hung out. Each of my kids got a chance to spend some time one-on-one with my Mom. I was there in the room with each of them as she sat there and told each of them their story from the time she found out they were born, to being at the hospital when they were born, to how special they are to her right now. They loved the one-on-one time with her.
We went over to Cathie's parents for a while and hung out while the kids swam in the freezing cold air and cold pool, while Cathie's Dad and I hung out and watched the State game.
We headed over to Eli & Dana's for Makenna's one year birthday. Their was a huge food spread (including phenomenal smoked beer-butt chicken) and the kids played with each other as the adults hung out. We played poker later which came down to Dana's sister (not Eli, not Dana's brother-in-law, but her sister) and I and split the pot (for the record, I had her beat 5:1 in chips and split the pot to let the last of the people play again). It was a fun party and a great way to cap off the summer.
