Yes, I'm back!

It has been awhile since I have written my thoughts down. Its not because I have not wanted to but because life has been crazy! The past few weeks lots of things has gone on. As many of you have heard, my Grandma passed away on the 23rd of Feb. And so there was lots of things to do. We had family traveling from other states, to be here for the funeral and viewing. So I had to get prepared for them to stay with us. We had the pleasure of having my Aunt Kathy and her daughter (my cousin) Amy stay with us. Amy also brought her baby, Maggie and her niece, Aleah with her. It was so fun to have a Amy's baby girl in our home, to be able to hold her and love her. Ryanne really enjoyed Aleah. She loved dressing her up and doing her makeup. Also helping her work on crafts and teaching her how to paint. It was wonderful to see Kathy and Amy and to spend quality time talking with them.
The funeral and viewing went well, and it was great to see family that we have not seen for a long time. I was able to spend some time with my uncle Allen and talk with him. And also see my uncle Mark and Aunt Alice. We also were able to see and talked to other family members we have not seen, or talk to in awhile and missed very much. I was given a rose, from my Grandmas funeral, to put on Sharyn's grave. It was nice, and made the day even more meaningful.
And wail I was having to run here and there for funeral plans, my kids still wanted there hair done for "Crazy hair day" at school. They loved having there hair crazy and I had fun doing it.
I also had the opportunity to help my good friends, sister with her Quadruplets. They were a blast, and tunes of work. I couldn't believe how organized Amy and Jerad were. It was amazing! It was nice being able to hold a baby again (Or should I say lots of baby's). And they were beautiful!
And wail all this was going on, I was still recovering form my hand surgery (My hand fills great now). It was stressful to have so much happening all at once, but good at the same time.
All and all the last few weeks were busy but good too, and I loved being surrounded by loving family and friends. I would just like to say to our family, that we love you and miss you!
We love you Grandma, And we will miss you so much!

Sorry to hear about your Grandmother. On a lighter note, I really like Ryanne's hair. Now that's crazy cool.
