Walkers' Trail

As I write this, it's a beautiful afternoon and I got off work and was ready to be outside.... it is still 96 freaking degrees on September 27! I am over the hot weather. We love yardwork. Yea! (except leaves - glad we have kids on those two days each year. ha).  We were able to aerate the grass and get our fescue seed down. Reid moved into Grant's room officially and has a queen bed, new bedding and has taken over the space like its been his forever! I don't know why we have this - he looks either hot or sunburned. Afternoon movie with my parents after work and before football practice was over! Reid still loves to read!

So we got a house instead and it worked out just great!  Riding down in the 'ol Aviator with my chauffeurs.  We arrived on Thursday night, and Jason and the boys got there really late that evening. Thursday was just allowed a hug pretty much. Friday - cadet wing parade, dorm and campus tour, and then we could bring him home for a few hours. Saturday - football game and then we got to officially get Grant for 48 hours and 2 nights away from the military life. I see him!!! It was great for Mom, Dad and me to get there early as we were able to hand him his "junk" he needed,...
