Brent, Anna, and I traveled home to South Bend over the weekend. We had our annual "Spring Fling" on my side of the family. Big get-together ... Carol came from Texas, Joan from Indy, Jenna from Louisville, and us from Grosse Pointe. What fun the day was! Lots of laughs, food, and family.
On Sunday, we celebrated Brent's Grandpa's (Anna's Great Grandpa's!) 80th birthday. Happy Birthday, Grandpa - a fun-loving, wonderful guy.
We made it back home to Grosse Pointe late Sunday night. Anna did so great all weekend long. She loved seeing everyone - she really loves people! She was a real trooper for the car rides, too.
We are so blessed with wonderful families - the Brechtl, Richmond, Hartsell gang - on every side and all in-between. The closeness and love we have for one another is really special. We have fun, laugh, and cry. Even though we don't all live close together, when we come together we are really "together". That's what family is all about. How lucky we are!

love the pics
wow, what a great weekend you had! I agree that it is so wonderful to be able to see everyone you love. We seem to take it for granted at times especially when we lived so close. Now being away I cherish it so much more. I loved seeing the group picture of everyone. You remember, I went to many of your family get-togethers as you did mine. Give them my love! I love you and give Brent and Anna my love as well. Take care!
