Because of my grandpa's death, we drove to St. Louis for the funeral on Thursday. We spent about 11 hours in my mini van with my two boys, my brother Josh, his wife Jenny, their daughter Emma, and my brother Jacob. Yes we drove 11 hours with a 22 month old and 2 babies that are 2 months old. Luckily the kids were very well behaved on the trip there and back. By the way, portable DVD players are a wonderful invention.
It was wonderful to get to spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday with my mom's family considering the circumstances. We enjoyed good food, old stories and being entertained particularly by Cameron. I hope that we are able to spend time together more often.
When we weren't with my mom's family, we were with Aunt Susan and Uncle Tim. They let us crash at their house and fed us all weekend. So much for me losing any baby weight this week.
Even though the reason we were brought together over the weekend was a sorrowful one, I truly enjoyed getting to be with my family and share my little ones with everyone. There's a folder of pictures on the left of the weekend. Above is a picture of the grandkids and great-grandkids except for Joseph.
