Jake and I went up to visit my family this weekend. Somewhere in the melee of visiting, I caught a nasty cough, but it is only a small price to pay for priceless quality time. I made waffles for Nana and Poppa on Saturday morning, and then finally got Jake to watch
Showboat* with my Oma on Sunday afternoon. That day was full of parties, since one of my cousins was baptized,
and it was my Dad's 48th birthday. We saw a lot of people and ate some delicious food (including an apple crisp my aunt had made, which substituted nutmeg for the cinnamon. It was a delicious crumble!)
We hung out at my sister and brother-in-law's house on Saturday to have a party for Dad, which included Chinese take-out. My nephew was adorable, not to mention a little bit cheeky, too! There was a riveting game of What?, and laughs were inevitable as we all tried to guess who would have written each silly answer.
I'm so grateful to have a wonderful and loving family.
Love,
Ashleigh
*Mel and I always loved this movie growing up, and always attribute it to Oma and Grandpa's house. It wouldn't have felt right watching it anywhere else.
