April 15: Our trip to Wichita was really nice! We left early on Friday morning and returned home late on Sunday night. Bryan’s parents and Ben and Melanie drove up from Texas to meet us there, and we got to see Bryan’s grandparents, his uncles and aunts, and several good family friends. Our pictures of the weekend were plentiful, but they were taken on three cameras. So the gallery currently holds one camera’s worth of pictures.
Andrew really enjoyed spending time with everyone. He’s petitioning hard for a trip down to Granny and Grandad’s house, so I think we’ll be looking at a trip down to Texas in June or July. We’ll probably even leave him down there to spend a bit of solo time.
Bryan’s grandparents are doing well. Grandma and Grandpa Harvey are back in their own home after spending some time in an assisted living suite while Grandpa recovered from hip replacement surgery. Bryan’s grandpa, Dandy, passed away last October, so it was nice to see Grandma Jo and give her some hugs. She’s doing well and is as full of vim and vigor as ever.
We missed seeing Ben’s family and our friends, Julie, Jerry, and Grayson; but maybe next time! Andrew loved playing outdoors. The wind was coming on strong, and it wasn’t exactly warm, but that kid has been cooped up inside for so long, he jumps outdoors at the slightest opportunity:) Fortunately, he had lots of loving relatives willing to join him for some running around the yard time.
It was great to introduce everyone to little Sylvia and to let them see what a neat person Andrew is turning into. A great time was had by all!
