family matters

we've been in a bit of a slump lately. the season change always does that to me. doug's work is beating him down. we left a place where we had so many friends and family to a new place that just isn't as comfortable, and we still aren't settled in.

but the last few weeks have proven that family does matter. we had a visit from my dad and mom over Easter. H loved all the attention and it was so nice to have them for a visit. we celebrated dad and doug's birthdays and had huston's first Easter.

a few days later we went to california and spent some time with doug's mom and dad (nelson's), his dad and marie (jones'), hit up san francisco, went to an oakland A's game, and had a get together at gramps. huston couldn't get enough lovin' from everyone and i could see doug relax a little and enjoy being "home".
