A Juxtaposed Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial Day was a study of differences...

David partook in his traditional "boys" weekend with too much golf, a couple bud lights, and a very busy/very exciting race day. He got home Sunday night nicely tanned, but dragging. I'm happy he had a good time... I know he looks forward to this weekend every year.

The kids and I took a different route and had a very quiet weekend to ourselves. We had hoped to visit grandma and grandpa, but with sick cousins, it wasn't worth the risk. We did have a great afternoon with Thad and Bobbi Sunday. The kids played in Emma's pool and got to wear their swimsuits for the first time. I appreciated having them cook for me too. I've gotten used to David always cooking, so when he is gone, I don't eat well.

Monday the family was back together again. We spent the day with intermittent naps, food, and family play. Overall, it was a good weekend.

Jackie can walk, but he just chooses not to... (oh, at the end that's rocket and not her head on the wall)
