I might have to just start a list...
Or better yet,
I might do a post a day this week...
on our previous fun adventures.

We'll see how it goes.
So, two Mondays ago, we visited family in Hickory.
My husband's grandmother passed away on Sunday two weeks ago.
We got the news on Sunday morning &
the services were planned pretty quickly.
Michael's grandmother had Alzheimers
& for many years we have been
unrecognizable to her. She has been non-verbal
& in a regulated home for almost 6 years now.
Her death was completely unexpected,
but in a way was such a relief.
We feel so much comfort knowing
that she is now in heaven & in a much better place.
Although, we hate seeing family members & friends
under those circumstances...
it was great getting to spend time with family...
we normally only see on Christmas eve.

We intended on trekking to Hickory on Thursday night
so that My dad could take my husband to the Race in Daytona.
To save on gas & the stress of traveling I-40
multiple times in one week...
we decided to stay in town with my parents.

I always LOVE getting to spend more than a weekend there.

I got to spend a rediculous amount of time with my niece & nephew.

It was heaven!
Not that I wished sickness on my sister...
but she had a respiratory infection while we were in town.
The downside...,
we didn't get to spend ANY TIME with her or our b-i-l,...
but, we did get to take the kids off their hands for a couple of days
& wake up to their sweet little voices.

We enjoyed bath time, morning cartoons, snacks after school, family night suppers at church, movie nights, lots of laughs ...
Overall good quality time
& so much food for my soul.

It was just what I needed!

My husband's grandpa just died last week and we went to his funeral this last weekend too. Although it was sad and a bit unexpected, it was still great to spend some time with family and celebrate his life with the one's that were closest to him : ) It's a lot easier knowing that they're in a better place.
And oh my goodness.. your neice is absolutely precious! those blue eyes are stunning! sounds like you had a fun time with her.
I'm Sarah by the way, just stopping by from another blogger friend of ours : )
