Telisa phoned me in the Fall sometime and said, Clay was going to Switzerland in February for 10 days or so and wondered if I would love to come for a visit during that time. "Of course!" was my reply. So the plan was set in motion. See if you can follow along........ For a time, Dad was going to come with me, then we learned that Adam was also going to Switzerland with Clay leaving Tristen with not only her four kids, but three of Tara's girls as well, because Tara and Steve were off on a Sansom trip to California. I offered to take Jovie with me to Cleveland to alleviate some of the numbers for Tris, but Tara said she would prefer I take Grace. ( are you still with me??) It would be Grace's birthday while she was gone and she wanted Grace to feel a little special. Trinity ended up staying with Tara's friend Jamie so she didn't have to miss school, leaving Tristen with only one extra child--Jovie! Dad stayed in Utah to help Tristen and start finishing their basement. Meanwhile, at the VanLeeuwen home in Draper, Tristen was going a little nuts trying to potty train Pyper!?! (another long story) Tiffany came along after a few days of Tristen's utter despair (wait 'til you hear that story!) and took Jovie and two of Tristen's boys, Cade and Luke to her home in Spanish Fork so Tristen could more fully concentrate on Pyper and the continuing saga of potty training a Princess! Meanwhile back in Cleveland, Grandma Kat arrived with her precious Grace in tow with a nasty Sinus Infection! Telisa lovingly nursed me back to health--gave me her bed, bought me meds and made me food. She was so happy to have company, she didn't even care that I was mostly laying there, sneezing, blowing my nose, chilled with fever and generally spreading my germs everywhere!!! Thankfully, no one else got sick!!!!! And that's the story of Grace and Grandma Kat's Adventures in Cleveland!!!
