Aunt Kate, Uncle Jerry and Cousin Belle are in town (with Sammie, the terrier mix). They haven't been in town since Christmas, which means they haven' seen Grayson in over six months.
That's a bit of an eternity.
So Aunt Kate asked if they could spend a whole day with G-Man, and Stacy and I were happy to oblige. I dropped Grayson off at Grandma's house a little before 7:00am. They spent all day playing, shopping, eating, swimming and napping. It sounded like everyone had a fabulous day.
After work, Stacy and I joined everyone for dinner: steaks, potatoes, fruit salad and sangria. Grayson was all smiles, as he got passed around and cuddled. He played cards in Uncle Jerry's lap; Belle fed him... even Sammie gave him some kisses. (I forgive her youthful exuberance for knocking him over at one point.)
All of this brings a smile to my face. I recognize just how blessed I am (we are) to have both sides of our family close by and to be surrounded with such love. They say it takes village... I've found mine.
