Mother's Day in Michigan

I decided at the last minute to join Mom on a visit to Grandma's for Mother's Day. I wanted to surprise her but Uncle Johnny let the cat out of the bag!We kept the celebration small and quiet for Grandma. Uncle Johnny and his wife came over for lunch. Then my sister, Lou and her family came over for dinner.Lou and KevinMy nephew, Joe

Posing for a pic! Sharing cell phone pics with Sis! I thought it was a great mother's day!

Visiting Family and Friends

With only a week to visit, it was hard to schedule visits with everyone! Did get to see a lot of family - that was most important! I met Dad and his wife Phylis for the evening and then we all went out for pizza with my Aunt Karen, Uncle Bill, my cousins - Kimmy and Katie, and thier family! Katie is putting a sticker on her daughter, Reagan's nose as Kim's daughter, Bridget, gives the thumbs up!

Kim's daughter, Hailey is 2 now!
