I must start my post with some news that will not be a shock to anyone reading - being Peyton's Grammy is the best gig ever!!!!! I am so blessed, and she is the joy of my life - along with her Momma of course - Amanda is also the light of my life.
Due to unexpected change of plans, we were unable to attend Tom's graduation in St. Louis - we will celebrate with him in a couple of weeks when we spend the weekend at the Mintuns lake condo. When one door closes, another opens. Amanda, Chad, Peyton and Apollo came to Clinton to visit for the Memorial Day weekend, starting with Friday night. On Saturday, everyone except Peyton and me played golf - Peyton and I had the best deal, I think. She is so sweet and so much fun. Kelly stopped by to visit - I took Peyton for a little walk in her stroller - she enjoyed it. We stopped by Edgetts so they could meet Peyton in person. We ahd a good time there. Then we went over to Great Grandma/pa's house where Peyton entertained everyone by having her lunch there - at least part of it ended up in her mouth - ha ha. She is so funny when she eats - she "talks" the entire time and really enjoys the experience. We played and played and had a little nap before everyone else arrived back home. After a delicious steak dinner that Chad grilled for us, Amanda and Chad had a date night to the movie, giving Grandpa and me the opportunity to spend the evening with Peyton - alone! How lucky could I be - twice in one day to get to have alone time with Peyton. We played and played and gave her a bath before giving her a bottle before bedtime - read some books too. She slept all night both Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday the Todds went to the Lake for a day trip to Grandpa and Grandma Todd's lake home. Ron and I went to lunch with his mother and to visit his Dad's grave at the cemetary. The Todds arrived back in Clinton around 9 p.m.
On Memorial Day, Amanda, Peyton and I, and the "boys", went to Great Grandma/pa's house for breakfast and a visit while Chad and Ron played golf again - this time with Dennis and Mike. It rained on and off, but they had a good time. We had fajitas for lunch before the Todds went back to Olathe around 2:30 p.m.
We had an absolutely awesome, fabulous, wonderful family weekend for which we are grateful.
Monday evening, we went to the Siegers for dinner - fun, fellowship and good food with friends - Eatons and Ammons were also there.
Back to work on Tuesday. Amanda started her new job at Burns and McDonnell today - all went well. She will do great.
