As most of you know, we traveled to Indiana a couple weekends ago for my grandmother's funeral. While the trip was a sorrowful one (especially watching my grandfather mourn the woman he has loved for over 50 years), it was also full of smiles and a gathering of family. It was a blessing to spend this emotional time comforted on all sides by those we loved. It was also the first time we had seen my sister-in-law, Crystal, since her bout in the ICU, and she was looking very good, which made us all breathe a little easier.

On the afternoon after the funeral, my grandfather joined me and my family, my parents, my sister and her new husband, and my brother and his family for a few hours of fun at a local park and then ice cream for everyone!

| After I took this picture, everybody decided they wanted to see how many people they could get on the slide at the same time... |

Since we were there in Indiana, we of course stayed at Nanny and Michael's (my aunt and uncle), which meant late nights of playing cards! My brother, a natural card shark, creamed us all of course, and if you were lucky enough to be his partner, you got to win too! :)
