This & That Thursday

* We're in Jackson this week visiting family. We've been having LOTS of family time. We've seen all the girls' grandparents, and 5 of the 6 living great-grands. The 6th will be seen before the weeklong visit here is over!

* The girls and I are sharing a room at my moms. I'd been half hoping they'd sleep in my brother's room, but no. The first night there was a lot of giggling going on. Nights 2 and 3, though, were full of whining and crying. BLAH! Maybe tonight will be better!

* We've been showing family the girls' VBS video (Vacation Bible School). They seem to be proud to show off their performances.

* Last week I mentioned that I was excited to have bought a smaller pair of pants, but this week I've probably put some weight on. We've been eating more elaborate meals (that include dessert...mmmmm...) plus I haven't been able to get in my daily time in the pool.

* I think it's really sweet to see the girls sitting next to their great-grandparents. Sometimes they warm up to them during our 2 or 3 visits a year, sometimes they don't.

* I'm missing my Matthew. I sure do hope he's missing me too!
