Weekend

My son Nick, his wife Nellie and their son Jason have been here since last Wed.  Monique wanted a big family get together for the 4th of July, so we bought their plane tickets.  They're with us through tomorrow.  Monique went up to NH with them on Thursday to get a few extra visits in, including with my mom who refuses to go to the brother's house right now for reasons of her own.

I went up early on the 4th with Chris, Amy and Elijah.  The day got off a little rough, but things ended up going ok after all.  We ended up with 18 people including some people I hadn't seen in about 9 years.

Yesterday we took Jason to his first movie in the theatres.  We went to see Wall E.  He was pretty good for an almost 3 year old right up until about 5 minutes from the end where he'd clearly had enough sitting still.

The movie itself was typically Pixar cute.  Not their best work, but quite good.

My mother always said, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all".  I guess I'm going to leave this post at that.
