On Friday night Dallas came home and got our packing and stuff done while I went and got a rental car. We drove up to Waupaca, WI, where my parents live that night. We got in late, but it was nice to not have to spend half the day Saturday driving there. On Saturday my brother and his family came up and my Aunt Sue and cousin Dawn came over to visit. It was great to see everyone and spend some down time, off line relaxing. Sometimes I just need to be disconnected. If only it were for a week, not a day!

My parents are still working on the house. They’ve been there for about a year and have done a lot of work both inside and outside of the house. It’s looking great. Amanda was really sick but good otherwise, I think. My brother and dad and Dallas watched tons of football. Jess and Steph are both growing big. Steph is a great helper with everything. Jess is still really shy to people, but once she warms up, she talks like crazy. Having a conversation with a 3-year-old is like talking to a drunk person. It doesn’t make sense and jumps from topic to topic at random. Aunt Sue was doing well and I’ll be seeing her in a few weeks in DC. It was good to see Dawn again. I haven’t seen her or her family for a long time. Oh, and I met Dakoda for the first time. He’s a great dog. Still a puppy, but so big! He definitely doesn’t know his own strength.

On Sunday we drove back and I had to drop Dallas off at the airport. He travels a lot for work and is out in California now. It’s good to be back home, but now I’m missing everyone!

    i forgot, I was also going to add - Dakoda is 6 months old and that big already. The vet said he could double his weight by the time he turns 1 year old!

    Oh Shell, it was so good to see you! It was great seeing everyone. I had a really good time. Dallas sure is good with children, adults too, but especially children!
