Family time

Jim and Lee flew out from Massachusetts yesterday so that they could attend the graduation ceremony from the MSU MBA program of the daughter-in-law of lifelong friends Mike and Diane Kelly. Making this trip back home to mid-Michigan provided the opportunity for everyone to get together. Jan and Bill drove down through very nasty, snowy winter weather from Leelanau peninsula yesterday - a normally 3 1/2 hour trip requiring more like 5 hours in the wintry conditions.

So tonight we do a big family get-together/dinner at the Stillwater Grill in Okemos. Daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Dalayna will join us (looks like son-in-law Derek will have to stay home with grandson Wyatt, who's fighting a case of pink eye and sinus), as will sister Stephany and her hubby Frank. Should be fun, and an opportunity for all to catch up.
