11 Years is a LONG time!

This last Tuesday Nicole, Andrew, and I went up to my parents house for the day. My uncle Dan, cousin Michael, and cousin Breanna and her kids came into town to take Michael to the MTC. He is going on his mission to Armenia. The last time I saw them was when we stopped in AZ on the way to Carolee's wedding reception in New Mexico back in 1997. Dan looked the same, just a little older. Michael was 8 the last time I saw him--he grew about 3 feet, and didn't look anything like I remembered him. The only reason that Bre looked at all familiar to me is because of her blog, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized her either, I'm sure. Bre has a little boy named Peyton and a daughter named Paige. They were both really cute. It was a lot of fun to see them again. Nicole really liked them too--it was obviously the first time that she had met them.

On a more personal note, Andrew had a pretty rough day. The last couple of days he has not been feeling very good, and consequently not sleeping very good either. He slept for about an hour in the morning, and then we went to my parents. I put him down for his afternoon nap and he only slept for 30 minutes.

I tried to put him down a couple hours later, but he wasn't havin' it. He wanted to stay up and play. He had a lot of fun playing with dada and the cousins.

But by the late afternoon he was getting so tired. Anyway we got him home and in bed, and he slept okay through the night. But it was a fun day and good to see the family I hadn't seen for so long.
