Today was my first day back to work since our vacation to Oregon and Washington. It was a tiring day full of all kinds of news. It's amazing how so much can change in such a short amount of time. It was a good day, though.

I had a great time on our little vacation. I love spending time with family! My sister's kids are so cute. Her little one and a half year old was so squishy and cute! I called my sister to let her know that I was home safe when we got back and her little son got on the phone and told me that he loved me and then he gave the phone a big hug. It was the cutest thing. And while we were up there with her, her other son - the 4 year old - came walking out in his PJ's and said, "Look at me! Aren't I so cute in my pajamas!" It was so hilarious. He's a ham!

Spending time with Richard's family was also wonderful!! I got to meet some new family members and visit with some I had already met. It was very nice. I was lucky to marry into such a wonderful family!! It was funny too, while we were there, we had dinner with Grandpa Barnet and Marian and then went over to their house for dessert. Richard always does this little blowfish thing where he puffs up his cheeks when he looks at you, just to be silly, and while we were over having dessert with Grandpa Barnet and Marian, Grandpa Barnet made the same face - he puffed his cheeks right up once when he looked over at Bonny. I laughed. It was the cutest thing. Now I know where my husband got it from.

It was a great vacation!!
