Mother’s Day

Another holiday and another weekend out of town.

Katie and I spent the weekend driving to and from Houston (Katy) for a friend’s wedding reception and a Mother’s Day celebration for her Mom’s side of the family.

After the reception on Saturday one of Katie’s close high school friends, Becky, and her husband Nathan came over to her parent’s house to hang out and we threw down a few games of Scrabble. I would have to say the highlight of the night was my 84 point turn for playing “*FFECTED” with the second “E” being the letter I played off of and the “*” being an “A”. Those were the first 7 letters I drew to begin the game and passed three times before I could play it and jump out to a ginormous lead. It was only a 17 point word, but I added in a Double Word Score for good measure. Kevin and Joseph would be proud.

Mother’s Day was nice and relaxing with a brunch after early Mass where Katie got to receive her first Mother’s Day blessing. Her Mom and Grandma enjoyed their gifts and we hit the road. We had dinner with my parents to help my Mom celebrate and she danced to the musical card that I got her that played the theme for Charlie Brown.

I hope all the Mothers and Mothers-to-be enjoyed their day.
