Short but sweet.

During our weekend jaunt to Detroit (can you call a 700 mile drive a jaunt? I doubt it.), we were fortunate enough to stay with my parents one night on either end of our trip. It was a poor replacement for the long weekend we'd planned to spend there in July (unfortunately that weekend was spent saying goodbye to Grandma Adele), but it was still so good to be home.

Calvin found a stick...and a playmate.

Audra got some snuggles from Auntie Jill, who celebrated the completion of her masters degree that weekend (hooray for my studious little sis...she is so much more motivated than I am)!

G-Pop took Calvin fishing for the first time, at the little lake in their subdivision. He loved it!

And both kids got some love (and plenty of treats) from their Nana. 

 

It wasn't the long weekend we had planned, but even short is sweet when you're with people you love.
