Happy Monday to you all!  I’m sitting in my office at CU and
decided I could afford a couple of minutes to update before getting
some stuff done.  I actually have a number of things I could be
doing right now…see how important you all are!

We spent the weekend in Massillon, Ohio, at my grandparents’
house.  Most of the Campbell family was in for a celebration of my
grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary.  The were actually married
on December 24, but we couldn’t get everyone together until now. 
It was a very busy weekend, but the family get-together seemed to go
very well!  I have some VERY funny cousins and we laughed a
ton.  Kelly and Holly did very well, too.  I’ve never seen
Holly be that sociable to strangers! 

My family stayed at a hotel since the house was pretty much full. 
That was a good choice!  It was nice to go to someplace quiet and
get away from the noise (20+ people, including 3 small children, can be
very loud!), and for us, it was great to sleep in until 8:30 on Sunday
morning.  We usually have to be at church no later than 8:00.  
My grandparents’ church is very small and mostly filled with older
people, so we doubled their numbers yesterday morning.  I always
appreciate my church more when I go to that church!

We drove home after dinner on Sunday afternoon.  My Grandpa was
adamant that he was going to plan the whole thing, and he insisted we
go to this not-great restaurant with not-great service for a family
style meal in the middle of their dining area (someone else had already
booked their banquet room, so he just agreed to have us seated in the
regular room ). 
But we survived and drove home and got home about 5:45, so it could’ve
been much worse.  Then after Mom & Dad and Chris’ clan stopped
for potty breaks at our house, they headed on home, and we relaxed for
the rest of the evening.  Whew…what a weekend!
