We tried to spend as much family time together as possible this week, as Bobby will be leaving for school in Philadelphia on Sunday, and will be gone until the 20th!!!
Thursday morning my mom called me with some very disheartening news...my uncle Todd had died in a motorcycle accident Wednesday evening, coming home from work. He and his family lived in Topeaka, Kansas; he leaves behind a wife and my four cousins - ages 26 to 13. I will always remember him for his sense of humor, and ability to make everyone around him feel comfortable - he was one of those few people you felt like you could say anything to! We will all miss him greatly!!
Friday evening my parents and brother came over to visit before they left for Topeaka. Mason and grandpa had a blast playing hockey in the dining room (notice Mason's cowboy boots: he got them from Grandma Marilyn for his birthday and wants to wear them EVERYWHERE)
Saturday Bobby & Mason got to go to the Monster Truck races in Fargo with their friends Drew & Dillon - I didnt get to go but looks like they had a good time!!! Sunday morning we all left the house at 5AM to bring Bobby to the airport. So sad to have him leave but I keep remembering how lucky we are that he is only leaving for 14 days - many families have a MUCH longer wait! We will see how this next week goes - it is my first time being alone with both boys for so long!!
