Back From Ohio

I am super busy at work right now so I will keep this short and sweet. We went to Ohio for Mother's Day weekend to visit Andrew's side of the family. We saw everyone including grandma Kate, grandpa Chris, great grandma Joanne and great grandpa Charlie, Aunt Alison, more aunt and uncles and great grandma Jan. It was a busy weekend, but a lot of fun as I think they all enjoyed seeing Reagan in all of her glory as the center of attention (she definitely gets that from her mom).

After stopping in Chicago Thursday night and staying with Avani, we then drove the rest of the way on Friday, stopping at Notre Dame for a couple of hours (had to see the new swag in the bookstore and get the latest in football scheduling news) and then headed to Norwalk. We went to the Indians game Friday night (they won) and they had awesome fireworks after the game. Saturday and Sunday, we spent time with all of the relatives. Sunday night we drove back to Avani's and caught up with the Notre Dame gang for a little wine and dinner (Avani, I owe you a bunch of wine!). It was a great night. Finally on Monday, we headed back to MSP, but stopped to see great grandma Jan in Mauston for lunch at Culvers. It was a good trip.

Here are some photos from the trip - 1. Reagan on Mother's Day; 2. Reagan and dad at ND; 3. Play Ball at the Indians game; 4. Oh no, Grandma; 5. Taking a break; 6. Grandpa, higher; 7. It was a busy weekend and I am tired.

Try to get past Reagan's hair. She is in this stage where it is wild. I might have to think about a haircut for her at some point, but that is hard for me since I was bald until I was six and do not want her to have to go through all I went through. Looking at me now, you would never know I did not have hair until so late in life - that might be the reason I keep my big hair! Everyone thinks it was because of the influential years I spent in Texas, but now you know the real story.

Gotta "go, go, go,"

Reagan's mom

p.s. - Yes, Marissa is off the show. It sets up a great finale on Monday night. I still want Jason to win, but I think it will be Kristi. It will be lots of fun though.
