It’s official. My big brother is back home. He had been away for 2 ½ years. He looks almost the same as I remember, just gained a bit more scalp! LOL He traveled over 1700 miles straight through, with nothing but a few rest area power naps along the way. I am so thankful to God that all our prayers were answered. He made it here with no bad weather, no car trouble, no problems of any kind. God is good, I keep on saying it!

Sunday was a very fun day. J and I spent over 7 hours at my dad’s house with our extended family. Grandpa M (my step-mom’s dad) had just gotten out of the hospital a few days before, and we were afraid he wouldn’t be able to come at all. But come he did, and looked great! We were all surprised that he stayed so long. That day was the longest he’d been away from home in about two years. In all we had 16 people there. Brother J gave us all new pictures of his daughter L in Connecticut. She is 10 years old now, and looks so grown up!
Cousin S discovered she had an incredible hypnotic power over J. He was sitting in his walker and she began stroking his head softly, and down over his forhead and nose. The kid looked like he was in a trance everytime she touched him! We were all rolling in laughter. It was one of the funniest things I ever saw. His eyelids would droop and his head would sag. As soon as she lifted her hand off him, it was like he startled awake. I got a few pictures of it; I posted one for you. We told her she was like Crocodile Dundee when he made that water buffalo go to sleep. LOL
The only other news from the weekend was that J tried bananas on Saturday. He wasn’t all that impressed. I think he liked the taste, but they were a little lumpy and it confused him. We’ll keep trying. I still did not get my tree finished. I bought ornament hooks on Saturday, does that count as progress? I found the spray snow R wanted. He used some cool stensils my sister gave me last year to put a pretty nativity scene on the window with it. He told me his mom always used that stuff on the windows when he was a kid. I never knew that before. 8 years of marriage and we’re still learning about each other. I always thought that stuff was cool, but my parents never used it. I guess J will have his Daddy’s tradition.
