"Thou art giving and forgiving"

We're back in Calgary after a week-long trip to Reno, Nevada. It was good to have my computer along for the trip, but I found that as the week went on, there was still very little time to get to it. Around last Thursday, entire crowds of family began showing up at my mom and dad's house. It was a whirlwind of people and talking and eating (we ate A LOT and well). RKZ came on Friday - this is his busiest time for work and he could only sneak out for the weekend (my jet-setting husband).

Buck was in heaven surrounded by cousins (1st cousins and a few "once or twice" removed cousins - still can't figure that out). All of my younger brothers and their families were in attendance for the weekend. Poor Coach K1 was actually hoping not to be able to come as his women's basketball team (Univ. of Portland) was in the first round of the NCAA tourney. They lost by only 4 points (maybe 2) to the team hosting the tournament. The rest of our family watched the game over the internet - a sad loss, really.
