Aunty Sissy and Daniel visited

I've been meaning to post this sooner, but I've been sick, Kaitlyn's been sick, Jordan was sick. Our house has been sickified for a while now, but we're all feeling better or at least well enough that I can blog without much disturbence.

Sis and her fiancee, Daniel, and their little pug dog, Gus, were up for about a week from Sunday, March 15, to Friday, March 20. We hung out and did some things around town. Sorry Daniel for not being able to do more guy type things. Jordan feels bad too about not being able to take you out shooting, but unfortunately he just didn't feel good enough.

Daniel got to celebrate St. Patrick's Day for the first time with a traditional Irish meal of corned beef and vegetables. For those of you who don't know, Daniel is from Hondoras and they don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day, of course. I brined my own corned beef, just for the occasion. We also had an Irish soda bread to go with everything. Then of course we had to have homemade corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast the next day. That's waaaay better than the canned stuff. Daniel, who puts hot sauce and pepper on everything discovered that horseradish is a little hotter than he could handle.

We went downtown and to a couple new shops in town. Sis wanted to go to the new Humphrey's, so we met up with one of her friends from high school and her fiancee and had dinner at Humphrey's. Hope it was as good as you remembered Sis.

We got to take the "kids" to the park one day. We went down to the ball fields and let the dogs run wild for a little bit and then went to find a playground that Kaitlyn could play on for a while. The one I had in mind was strangely not there any more. It was a little shocking, so we had to go to another one. She got to swing and actually enjoyed it for the first time. Surprisingly, she actually seemed to know what she was doing, and it wasn't a toddler swing either, because there weren't any.

We also had a barbeque on Thursday night before Sis and Daniel had to leave. We invited Jordan's family over, so they could meet the fiancee. We shared good food and good company. Hope you weren't too overwhelmed Daniel, but the 2nd family had to meet you. Thanks for coming out to everyone who could make it and sorry we missed anyone who couldn't.

Thanks Sis and Daniel for coming up and seeing us, we really appreciated it and had fun. We'll see you guys in a couple of months for the graduation/wedding.

Happy belated Birthday Chelsey! Sorry we couldn't make it to your party, but we didn't want to infect your family with illness as well. Hope you had a great one and we still have your gift.
