The Bryan Family

We had to make an unexpected trip to Houston to say goodbye to Neale’s grandmother, “Mama Jean”.  Neale and I had all of our things packed and were all set to go on Saturday (May 15).  Right before we were about to head out the door, Ellie gets sick….  all over her uncle Derek.  We were hoping that she would feel better soon, so we decided to go ahead and leave.  As we were putting Ellie in her car seat, she gets sick again.  We decided that a 13 hour car ride with a sick toddler would not be fun, so Neale went on by himself to Houston.  By Sunday evening Ellie was feeling a lot better (No more running to get buckets).  We found an early flight Monday morning so that Ellie and I  would be able to attend the memorial service for Mama Jean.  Even though it was sad to say goodbye to her, we had a good time visiting with family, playing with baby Max (Neale finally got to meet his nephew), and sharing memories of sweet Mama Jean.
