This weekend was a whirlwind of celebrations for the Radcliffe family! Holly, Marcus, and I traveled from Tallahassee to meet the fam at party number 1 to celebrate the 80th birthday of dad’s dad, Grandpa Warren. He is 80 years young and after a five-bypass surgery in January of this year he is pretty much a new man – back better than ever on the golf course! Grandpa Warren is quite the character and we enjoyed looking through a book Aunt Laura put together highlighting his life through pictures and interesting facts. Like did you know when he was in his twenties he hitchhiked from North Carolina to Miami just for fun; he was stationed in Bermuda while he was in the Air Force; and he met Grandma Jeannine on a blind date?! As is always the case at a Radcliffe gathering, dad and his cousins Mark and Kenny brought their guitars and brought the house down! Of course, we’ve been hearing the same songs since I was a child and we can all put money on the next song they’ll sing (and win!) but that’s what makes it so fun, and it doesn’t hurt that they are all amazing musicians!
On Saturday Mom, Holly and I hosted a shower for my cousin Melissa Radcliffe. She’s getting married in two weeks and it was so sweet to see the excitement in her face as she spoke about her upcoming wedding. As the girls partied, the boys played golf and then we were all off to the lake. The cottages are now finished and m & d wanted to show them off to us—they are awesome! Michael was home too this weekend but I think I saw him for a total of 2 hours. He was busy with band practice and played three gigs this weekend. They’re playing here the day after Thanksgiving and I can’t wait!
In other news, Holly has finally let me document her pregnancy :). Below are some highlights from the weekend and if you look close enough you can see Holly 6 months pregnant and looking fabulous!
Back in Tallahassee now, the air is cooler (!!) and things need to be done around my house but for now I’m off to end this weekend of celebrations with a generous portion of coffee yogurt from TCBY. Have a wonderful week~
