Trip to Granny D's
We're safe and sound in Texas! We drove in late Wednesday night with our entire entourage. It is amazing what you can fit into a car. We brought both dogs (for those of you who don't know, they are each 70 pounds,) our cat, Sebastian (who does NOT travel well,) and Logan of course. All of this in the cab of Shane's pickup. Crazy! About 45 minutes into the trip we decided that we were officially crazy. It was super foggy and just got worse the closer we got to Mom and Dad's. Kitty went "mewwwww, meowww, mewwwooo...." for about the first hour and a half! We were about ready to put him in the bed with the lugguge but since Shane has a bed cover, we were afraid he wouldn't get enough air. (Okay, we wouldn't really do this but we were so desperate!!!) We did finally take him out of the cat carrier and he went to sleep on the floor with the dogs. We just couldn't stand to leave him at home alone for 10 days. We're such softies!!! Once, he started sleeping the trip went fine. I even got to watch a movie on the dvd player while the rest of the truck slept (all except poor Shane who had to drive.) We pulled into the house about 11:15pm.
My Granddad (my Mom's Dad) had total hip replacement surgery on Tuesday of last week. He is 84 and we were all very worried about the surgery and praying that everything would go well and that he would have a smooth recovery. My Mom had driven to where the surgery was on Monday and stayed until last Friday night. He is still in the hospital and will probably be there until Wednesday, but everything is going well. I know that there are some reading my blog who were with him during this and I'd like to say thank you for keeping him company and being with him. Please give him a big hug for me!!! I wish that we could have been there. We will miss Granddad and Jean terribly this Christmas as they are usually here at my parents house. I will be so sad not to be looking for them to pull up on Christmas Eve.
We had planned to take Logan to Houston to see my Granny D (my Dad's Mom) last weekend. So, Friday morning we loaded up the car again (with Booker and Lucy safely at a Doggie Hotel) and headed out. My Dad came too and we had a ball. (Just so you do not get confused-Logan calls my Dad Granddad so when I refer to Granddad from here on out I'm talking about him, lol.) Logan ran up and down the halls of Granny's nursing home and brought cheer to everyone. He had so much fun!

Logan loved playing hide and seek in the closet at our hotel. This is right after he got out of the bath tub and I was trying to get him dressed.
