I just spent a week in Michigan visiting family. My grandmother turned 80. It was wonderful to see everyone at her party. I was able to spend an afternoon with my sister and her children and that was probably my favorite part of the trip. Watching my sister cut my sons hair made me really happy. She's a great mother and a fantastic aunt. I'm proud of the person she's become. I also enjoyed sharing a big milestone in my life with my little brother. More to come on that at some point.... I returned to NC from MI late last night. I drove the kids. -It's pretty exhausting stuff, though the children were very well behaved. Still, it's too much driving. Today I have to begin setting up appointments for my day job. It's going to be a busy few months.
