We made the difficult decision to send just Brad to the funeral. It was a hard decision because I dearly love Brad's grandmother and her incredible family and I wanted to be there to celebrate her life with them. But we knew that 20 plus hours in the car in one weekend would just be too hard on our kids. So Brad left to make the trip and I stayed home with the girls and baby Sam.
From all accounts I heard, the funeral was beautiful: complete with incredible musical numbers, inspiring messages, and a miraculous parting of the clouds at the graveside. I'm sure Grandma was pleased. She's left a pretty amazing legacy. We have a lot to live up to.
Though I'm still sad I couldn't be there in person, I ended up having a nice weekend too. After watching horrible events unfold in the city we are moving to in two months, holding my pure, precious newborn baby and thinking about an amazing woman and a life well lived was reassuring. Love and family... that is what is most important no matter what craziness goes on around us.

It is a small world! My roommate from my first 2 years at Ricks was Onalee Bradford. Are her and Brad cousins, because she just posted about her Grandmothers funeral, and it is the same person! Small world. By the way, you look amazing lady!
@Nycole - That is crazy! Onalee is Brad's cousin. They're a good family.
OH he is cute!! Love the socks. Sorry to hear about Brads Grandma. We sure miss you guys. I wish so much I could hold Sam!
True comforts in a crazy world, thanks for the reminder. Your hair is getting so long!
