A Grammy Kind of Weekend

What a fabulous weekend! The granddaughters came up to visit! The occasion was the first running of the Brain Aneurysm Awareness Race in honor of Tim Susco, a classmate of Megan's. Tim would have been 27 on Saturday and it was important to Megan to participate in the event organized by Tim's family to heighten awareness of both brain aneurysm and organ donation.

Megan arrived with the girls on Friday. We enjoyed a family dinner and giving night-night kisses. Saturday morning we were six girls on the 2K walking route of the race. Hannah rode in a backpack and earned a medal for "finishing." The race was well-attended and appeared to be a success.

A primary activity for the weekend was photography. We have loads of photos taken by aunts, moms and a grandma! We even got the cameras set up to capture the elusive grandpa with all the "girls." It was fun to take little ones out to the playground again. Was it really twenty years ago that today's big girls were out there in the swings?

After a Sunday breakfast of grandpa-made pancakes, we kissed the little ones and their mom goodbye. We sure missed seeing their dad but it was great to have Grammy Time!
