Our Nephew Brandon arrived today from Texas!!
It was so good to see him!! We can't wait to spend more time with him this weekend and watch the Loyalty Day Parade.
Simone adores him and she kept giving him hugs! Simone keeps telling me, "Cause Brandon gave me this, his own!" (As she holds up his Rubics Cube. She is referring to the Rubic Cube that she gave to him.
It is so good to see family!
