cali

i am home from a short trip to california to visit my family.  i wanted to go after my moms surgery to help out and of course meet the newest member of the family (my new nephew).  it was the kinda trip that leaves your heart full and your cup overflowing.  

my mom is doing a great job of recovering and healing from her knee replacement and my dad is such a fantastic nurse, catering to her every need and spoiling her.  she is managing her pain and getting around well.  meeting pierce and spending time with quincy were icing on the cake.  and the timing was awesome since both of my cousins were home from school.  i got to hang out with the family and we enjoyed each others company, laughed, told stories and were so happy to be together.  i felt bad that mom and dad didn't put me to work more, but my mom said that me being there was the emotional lift she needed and was looking forward to, sometimes healing and helping comes in different forms.  

i came home so excited to see my own family and am looking forward to our trip at the end of june.  big thank you to jarad for making this trip possible and being super dad!
