Monday, June 19th

We took Grandma Judy to the airport and Alan was very upset because he thought we were going to Grandma's house with her. He cried on the drive home and when we got home he didn't want to go in the house. He stomped his foot and said, "No, Grandma house"

It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein...
