Sunday Brunch

Today we had a nice brunch out our house with Grandma & Grandpa (Shelley's parents), Nanna (Jason's mom) and us. It was the first time we've been able to get this group together in such a long time. The food was yummy and the company was even better. My parents are leaving tomorrow to head back to Palm Desert, CA for the next 5 months (they spend about 7+ months of the year at their house there these days).

The boys said their goodbyes to G&G until May with big hugs and kisses and so did Jason and I. After they left, I felt pretty sad (sniff sniff)...it's hard to have them so far away for such long stretches. But.....we look forward to seeing them again in May. We hope they have a safe trip and enjoy the warm weather (we're sure it'll be very nice for them to get away from this terrible weather we've been having).

On a more positive note, my sister, Holly and her family (husband Alex and son Cooper) are moving back to Washington in 2 weeks. Alex is in the military and they have lived out of state for about 8 years now. They will be living in Spokane, but Holly and Cooper are going to come and spend a week or two with us while Alex gets everything set up in Spokane. My sister and I are very close and it'll be so nice to have her close. It'll also be great to be able to get John, Ethan and Cooper together more often (and see Alex of course too :)).
