My mom and brother came into town this weekend for my niece Lily’s 8th birthday.  This morning we all – my sister’s family, my mom and brother, his girlfriend, and my family – met up for brunch before they headed back to Houston.  As is typical of these traditonal Sunday brunches, it was good times and lots and lots of love.  I always leave feeling grateful for my family and the time I get to spend with all of them.

The weather was real crappy all day, so Donovon, the girls, and I spent the rest of the day in our living room watching movies.  I bathed in the bliss of the uninterrupted time with all four of us in one room.   I couldn’t have been happier on such a cold and rainy day.

I spent the entire day with family and I’m grateful for every minute of it.
