A visit to see Great Grandma Grace

There are lots of people we like to see and visit but going to Grandma Grace's is always an adventure.  This was JD's second trip to see his great grandma and it was wonderful.

I realized that at the age of 96 Grace Sullivan, is by far one of the most remarkable people I know.  When we arrived she had prepared her house for JD to travel and explor.  She had a high chair ready for him to eat with and toys out for him to play with.  It was remarkable to me how much work she went to and how great she was with JD.

The trip is a long one for a little man; 6+ hours to get there.  We did our traditional gathering at night at the local pizza shop DiMaggio's and then Sunday we enjoyed church at the United Methodist Church.  Since I was younger than JD when you got to church with Grandma and you sit in the second pew.  After chruch we headed to Dairy Queen for lunch.

It is funny as my Grandma commented on her "routine" and that some might consider it less than exciting.  Personally, as the mother of a one year old, I love nothing more than routine.  A stable sleeping schedule, eating schedule and in general a stable schedule makes everything better in our world!

Our second night we headed to French Lick resort as I had a work conference.  That night wasn't quite so peaceful and JD was NOT happy to be in another hotel room.  It was the first night in ages that we got less than 3 hours of sleep and I forgot how nerve racking that can be.  At 4am I tried to determine a "plan" with your Dad for how the next day was going to go.  It was classic.

This past weekend we got to recover a bit, watch some OSU basketball and celebrate Grandpa's 70th birthday.  We seem to be having lots of different adventures and travels these days!

As Easter comes this weekend, we will have a visit to see Grandma Barb and see all the Dancers and Satterfields.  You are loved by so many and we are so lucky to have such a great and supportive family.  Sunday, we will head to Grandma Pat's and enjoy some time with the Katy, Heath, Annabelle and Taylor. 

My hope is that you will always know the importance of love and family.  From our church, to friends to our biological family having people to support, love and inspire you are what make life so fun.  Each adventure is better because of the people who travel with you.
