Sunday afternoon, Steph and I traveled through heavy snow to visit my daughter and grand-daughter. Steph was getting her hair colored and cut by Colby, while I had the wonderful opportunity to spend my time with Addison - who is now roughly 5 months old.
Addi is now able to roll-over from her back to her stomach and almost sit up on her own...she still weaves back and forth a little, like she's a little drunk.
Steph and I had lunch with Colby before she got her hair cut. Colby is doing pretty well - still looking for a place to live in Independence, closer to work.
On the way out to Oak Grove, we decided to go through Liberty and take M-291 to I-70 since they were tearing down the Noland Road bridge over I-70. This bridge has needed to come down for some time...chunks of cement have been falling off this thing for years. This is a very heavily used bridge as it connects the "miracle mile" on Noland Road. It's due to be closed down until mid-May; I'm just glad I don't still live in Independence - that's going to be a rough couple of months.
After the hair cut and good grandpa time with Addison, we stopped by and saw Stephan and gave him his meds (doctor is cutting back on the milligram and we got the script filled). While there, Erin (my oldest) and Morgan (my first grand-daughter) were visiting Debbie...I'm getting to see everyone today.We stopped by mom's house on the way home and she told Steph and I about her trip with Caron out to Vegas for a week. They had a great time! They took in the Spamalot show and also saw Penn & Teller. Caron picked up buttons for Jeff, Derek and I from the Spamalot show (mine said, "It's only a flesh wound..." - Monty Python fans will understand).
After leaving mom's, we stopped by some good friends, Jerry & Debbie Noland (yes, he is related to the man who Noland Road is named after). Jerry was in the hospital recently, but recovering nicely! They are big NASCAR fans and were watching the Daytona 500 when we arrived. Keep Jerry in your prayers as he continues to get better day by day!
It's hard to believe we did all that on a Sunday, and got home in time to see Cold Case!

Sounds like a busy, fun day. And the Noland Road bridge over I-70 was scary when I moved away from there in the 80s.
The bridge has been losing big chunks of cement over the past couple of years - the TV crew showed a man's windshield where a 20 lb chunk hit his windshield; it's amazing no one's been hurt over the years!
