We had a great weekend with everyone! Friday we drove to Mt. Vernon, OH to stay with my cousins on my mother's side, to see Patrick (3) and new baby Joslin (8 weeks?). Melissa, Dave, and Jacob also stayed the night and my parents came down to visit for the evening. We had dinner, toured the backyard, and celebrated my dad's birthday.
Saturday morning after Jason's homemade cinnamon rolls (omg does everyone else's husband in my family cook except mine?) we drove to Athens OH to see my dad's side of the family. It was a joint celebration of my cousin Jon who is graduating from college and my cousin Dan who is graduating from highschool. Jon is a fine arts major (ceramics) so we got see his senior show. His work is really interesting and I'm curious to see how it develops during his artist's program in Appomatox VA next fall. We got to see almost all of the family and it was very busy but lovely. When it got overwhelming I went and hung out with mysister mother who was minding the baby in a quieter room. (I commandeered Jacob at my cousin's, but my mother totally took him over on Saturday.)
We spent Saturday night at my aunt's house in Columbus (D. was pissed we had to drive north again) and drove back Sunday.
It was intensely social which was exhausting, but so nice to see people for celebratory reasons (the last two times I saw the Ohio part of the family were for my grandparents' funerals). Also babies!!!
( some baby pics! )
