When I was young, we would go over to my Grandparents house for Sunday dinner every week. My grandma was famous for her Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes. We wouldn't ever have anything different, nothing new, just that delicious meal that only my grandma could duplicate. Other Sunday traditions included going for drives all over creation, hitting buckets of baseballs with my dad, and watching the Sunday night, made for TV movie with my mom.

Today, I am not sure if we have any traditions. Maybe a couple. Jenny makes a delicious meal that is always something special and she always includes her homemade rolls which are straight from heaven. We get in the pool. Play some Rock Band. Read some Harry Potter. But for the most part we just enjoy being together and being lazy!

So what will my kids remember?

One thing happened today that I will NEVER forget.

Those of you who aren't family don't realize how HUGE of a accomplishment this is! Yes, due to constant prodding, begging, and pleading from the grandkids, grandma got into the swimming pool today. Siblings, this is picture proof that it really did happen!

So maybe my kids won't remember that one thing that we did every Sunday, but they will remember that Sundays were definitely special days, which is exactly what they should be!

   That is what I believe Sunday's are about- just being together.
   Way to go Karen! My mom would be so proud!
