The plan was to head to Bend as a family to go visit your cousins and Great Aunt and Uncle, but you ended up getting a bit of a cold so we decided it would be best if you spent the weekend hanging out with Grandpa and Grammy Chevalier. We were anxious about leaving you for that long…more for our sanity not yours…but we knew you were in the BEST hands. So we headed to Salem first to go see Great Grandma Jackie at work at the Capital. It was really neat to see her at work but she was definitely bummed we left our prize possession at home. Then we headed to Bend and had an absolute wonderful time. We were greeted with flowers and chocolates for Valentines Day, watched Mercedez in her basketball game, watched Chase play in a tournament and also had some adult time at Winterfest. It was a blast and a great chance to enjoy some time together. Meanwhile you had a great time with Grammy and Grandpa and probably didn’t even realize we were gone. We got stuck in a little snow storm on the way home and had to chain up going through the pass which made the drive take much longer, which after a weekend away from you was torture. But we made it finally and you were such a joy to come home to.
