What a trip! Do you ever feel like you can never get caught up once your home?? I feel that way today. How can there be sooo much to do when we were gone for 4 days!!!
Our trip was OK considering.. we left Wednesday night and drove to Indiana. We got there about 3am (4 am our time...they're an hour behind) and were soooo tired. HOWEVER Cerah decided to wake up about 2 (in the car) and stay awake!!! So I laid her down in the floor with me and turned on the TV.. I know bad mom. She watched TV and I took a cat nap. We didn't do too much on Thursday. We went to Kohl's..BTW their Kohl's is SOOOOOOOOOO much better than ours. I had to find a new shirt to wear.
Then we went out to dinner. Me, Cerah, mom, grandma, Tina, Jason,Tam, Jaclyn, Jarrod, Amy, Paul, Caleb and Maddie. We went to Ponderosa for steak. Diane told everyone that when she got out of the hospital she was going there for her birthday. Her birthday was Thursday. As we were finishing our dinner the girls working there came in a started singing Happy Birthday to a lady sitting behind us. We all frozen and just sat there. All getting goose bumps. We know Diane was there having steak too:)
Cerah and I then went to my dad's and visited. We spent the night and left in the am to go back to grandmas.
We had family night on Friday. I'm glad I got to say goodbye. Cerah said "cyit momma, sleep" She kept going up to Aunt Diane and wanting to see her and the butterfly that was in with her. Then Cerah was UNBEARABLE. I took her to the car for a 2 hour nap and went back in. I got to see a lot of people who I haven't seen in YEARS, and I do mean years...like 20!!!!! I had no idea who some were but they remember me from when I was Cerah's age.
Saturday was the funeral. It was a beautiful service. Cerah wanted to go see the butterfly again. I spent most of the service in the hallway because Cerah was yelling. I was upset and getting angry. I took Cerah to the bathroom and told her she had to behave and listen to the man talking. As we walked back in they started to play Amazing Grace...Cerah went right to sleep!!!
We got to spend some time with family and friends after the funeral and it was great for us all to recall all our memories of Aunt Diane.
We stayed at a hotel... WORST HOTEL EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
But the Easter Bunny did come to visit Cerah and Dylan.
Sunday we drove ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day!!! I think I finally got to my house at 10:30. Larry was up waiting for us and Derek tried to stay up but fell asleep on the couch.
I don't have many pictures. Just a few of Cerah in travel mode. I'll try to get them up.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT.
OH: Larry got to go watch the second round of the NCAA tournement. He had a good time and broght Derek back a basketball and tshirt.
We missed our boys:(

I'm sure it was a very stressful weekend. :( I'm sorry about the hotel - you certainly didn't need that on top of everything else. (and I started crying at the Ponderosa story!!!)
Sounds stressfull but I'm glad you were able to be there. I'm sure the boys were happy to have you back home.
Good luck getting caught up! I've been trying to get caught up for 5 years (since Bryant was born). It still hasn't happened to me :)
