Quick trip

This past weekend we had to make a quick trip to Utah. Paul's 97 year old grandma passed away last Wednesday. It was kind of bad timing because this week was Paul's test week, so we drove up on Wednesday (I drove the whole way so Paul could study), the funeral was on Monday and then Paul flew back Monday night. I drove back with Leila on Wednesday. It was good to spend time with our family. I was able to learn a lot about Paul's grandma, she was an amazing women who could do just about anything. As they spoke about all of his grandma's qualities it reminded me of Paul's mom, they are both wonderful women. I also figured out where Leila gets her love for chocolate, don't get me wrong I love chocolate, but Leila really loves it, she could eat it all day long without stopping and so could Paul's grandma. The funeral was really nice and a great celebration of her long life, we are happy knowing she is with her husband and other loved ones now.

Glad you were able to see some family, not the funnest reason to go up though. Hope blocks go well for Paul!

That is a cute picture of the three of you. I am so bummed that we didn't even get to see you or even worse have you come to Eden! Colin and I are talking about making a trip down there when the baby is a couple of months old to come and visit. We miss you! I know I always say that but it is true
