Unexpected Plans

Last week was a bit of blur, and for good reason.  We made a very tough decision last week but knew that it was definitely in Kyler's best interest.  Luke's grandma passed away and as much as we all wanted to be there with the family, we knew Kyler would not do well on such a long car ride nor would he handle those busy days with lots of people.  So, Luke went to Iowa and it was just the kids and I at home for 4 days.  Between getting Luke ready to go and then being here by myself, we were busy.  We had fun just hanging out here at home, and I was blessed by some great family and friends who provided us food and some much needed adult interaction.  Here are some of the hi-lights of our stay-cation (I apologize for the low quality pictures, Luke took our camera with him, so these were taken via the ipad).

We enjoyed some quality movie time, pretty sure my kids don't know how to sit properly on chairs.



Kristin & Kade had fun playing beauty shop.


We also had fun making our annual thanksgiving tree.  Some of the things Kristin was thankful for are flowers, parrots, flamingos, sand, and sky.  Kade was thankful for the sun, music, chairs, and hole punchers.






We will miss our wonderful grandma.  This was from our last visit with her this summer.  This woman had an amazing gift for hand stitching quilts and she liked listening to the police scanner radio.  She also had 11 children, so when you factor in all their spouses, her grand children and great grandchildren, her immediate family consisted of 75 people.
