Saturday, we did our normal running around to stores and cleaning up the house. And playing with the baby, of course. We always make time for that.
Sunday was a day of picnics. We went to Kevin’s Annual Memorial Day picnic and got to show Ellie off to some old friends. Things are very different now. The last time all of us were together was about 2 or 3 years ago. Kevin, Kim, and I all have children now. Both Chris and Tom have new girlfriends. We’re all all-grown-up. We all have full-time jobs and pay bills and gripe about the price of gas, tax hikes, and insurance premiums. It’s nice to get together, even if it is only once a year.
We went to my dad’s after Kevin’s, but didn’t stay long. Dad was already 16 sheets to the wind and kept asking to hold the baby. Macisco Sr. nearly backed his truck into us as we were chatting with some people. We got out of there in a hurry.
On Monday, we went to visit my cousin Flo. She’s been having some health problems as of late, so she’s in a nursing home temporarily. We thought a visit from the baby would cheer her up (Ellie can put a smile on anyone’s face), and we were right. She was so excited to see our little one. My cousin, Michael, and his wife, Lori, were there, too. They got to see the baby for the first time, and Ellie loved all the attention. They showed up at my dad’s the night before a couple of hours after we left and said my dad was completely obliterated. Typical.
We went to pay a visit to Harry’s mom after seeing Flo, and, of course, she was happy to see Miss Ellie, too. We sat outside for a bit, enjoying the beautiful weather.
We spent the rest of Monday at home, playing with the baby. That was the best part of the weekend.
