Getting back to the swing of things

Last week was a whirlwind of fun and chaos. I decided to travel with my mom and brother Daniel to Detroit to drop off Daniel for the summer and see my brother John. We drove through Chicago Tuesday night and stayed with Katy and Caleb. After 20 + years, I finally got to go to my second Chicago Cubs game. It was a cold, windy, rainy night and even worse, they lost. Nevertheless, it was great getting to watch in person and so much fun hanging out with Abby, Josh, Katy, Caleb, and Daniel. Thanks to my mom for watching Edward.
We then left for Detroit Wednesday morning. We were able to spend a good amount of time with John, his girlfriend and her family. John is working as an assistant to the superintendent at Oakland Hills Country Club. We enjoyed when John took us on a rare tour of the entire course. It's "rare" not only because it's a private course, but they are hosting the 2008 PGA Tournament in August. We may have to go for the practice rounds or tournament.
It was also a week of firsts for Edward. He loved going to the Rain Forest Cafe, riding a carousel with U. Dan, driving a golf cart, walking on a golf course, learning to say "John," and blowing kisses. Despite my worries. Edward did wonderfully the entire time, thank the Lord.
I'm now trying to get back to our normal routine at home. However, I caught a cold while away and haven't felt like doing too much. Maybe things will be back to normal next week.
One quick bite before the game.

Your mom looks so cute with her "boys". She's delighted with them, you can tell.

Glad you had such a nice week! Edward is a trooper.
