Duly Blogged


East-coast Clayton party! On Saturday night the Virginia contingent met up with the Tennessee contingent at Union Station downtown. Joan and Fred treated us all to a very nice dinner at a restaurant in the Main Hall of Union Station. It was fun to catch up, chat, and have a nice little meal together. Conversation ranged from bridges to Davis to Germany to babies to blogging to Hannah's hair (everyone's a fan--of all of those things, actually).

I had never met BriAnna or Craig and I hadn't seen Scott in I don't know, maybe 10 years. They live in VA now, near Richmond while Scott is earning a master's degree in Fort Lee. Their second baby is due in May. Matt and Scott had never met. I hadn't seen Uncle Fred since our wedding or Aunt Joan in over a year, and I hadn't seen Kirsten since earlier that morning at my baby shower (which unfortunately I do not have pictures of, but it was fun and we got lots of great stuff).

If you're wondering where Kirsten is, she's behind the camera.

If you're wondering who everyone is, Bryan and Kirsten's kids are Isaac and Clara, and you can probably figure the rest out.

Thanks for dinner and a fun time, Joan and Fred!

We will have to do the same when Dale and I and the family come through in the summer. Don't actually know exactly when but shoudl soon enough. You all look great. I have never met BriAnna at all. We went through Germany just after they left.
