Over the hill and through the woods to Grandma's house we go!

My grandparents with Ali's boys and the girls. Brennan was being a real stinker and didn't want to smile for any pics that day!

Aunt Rosie, lookin' good even at 91! Hope it's in the genes!

Just a little pic of me and Jon for all you Roanokers who have forgotten what we look like! At one of my new favorite restaurants, On the Border.

Allison and I decided to go down and see our grandparents in Indiana since I wasn't able to make it to the family reunion this year (it was the same week that we moved into our house) and my grandma had given me a real guilt trip for not bringing the twins down to see everyone! They don't care about seeing me anymore, it's all about the twins! Just kidding! Grandma did show her love for me by cooking all my favorites, like mashed potatoes and fried cucumbers. Ali and I decided not to count our WW points while we were there and then we realized that it was trips to Grandma's house that have forced us into seeking WW in the first place. Irony!


I'm so glad that we went though, since I think it made Grandpa and Grandma's week and also reminded me that we have an awesome heritage that we need to show respect for and love while they are here with us on earth. Their legacy is something that I will be forever grateful for and do not want to take for granted. I hope through our trip that they were encouraged and feel loved and respected.


The kids about made us crazy, but Grandma kept reminding us that they will grow out of it...and too soon too!
