With the rig safely tucked away in Reno we headed back East for a couple special events and some plain ole family time.
First: Willa’s 1st birthday. No way Grandpa and Nana could have missed that. The party was perfect. We got to enjoy some outdoor time with beautiful weather and lots of the kids’ friends. Guests came bearing all manner of yummy food (including cupcakes and the smash cake even if I say so myself). Willa had fun as did all the guests. Year one flew by…we know each upcoming will go by even faster.
Second: The baby shower for our niece who is due in July. That was a fun event too and a chance to catch up with some extended family we don’t often see. We are anxious for our role as great aunt and uncle and excited for brother Bob and Lou Ann for their beginnings in grandparenting. It will be a blast.
We sprinkled in a Fathers’ Day BBQ and a birthday wish for Tracy so there was plenty of party time. There was time to just hang out too, which there never seems to be enough of. Thanks to my sister Carol for letting us crash at her place much of the time.
Family time. Love it!
