Anna had a class project on Michigan due this week, Eileen had her science project due this week and Aaron had a field trip. The girls had field day on Friday, Anna had a poetry reading on a poem she won an award for.
It snowed on Mother's day and the whole next day too - I can't believe that there was 3 inches of snow on the ground less than 2 weeks from the end of the school year.....

Monday we made cookies for Family Home Evening. The kids had a blast cooking with Daddy!
Like I promised before - a pic from our prom last weekend!
Dan took off on another trip this week :( we all miss him, but we have had our friend Heather over here hanging out and keeping us busy. The kids had a blast chatting with him on Skype tonight - James kept wanting to put his face right into the screen near daddy's face.... and they were all trying to talk over each other - it was kind a insane, but fun!
This week has also been rather rough for another reason. My great aunt has been battling cancer for over 3 years now and at the end of last week she went into hospice and we all began waiting. I went out to see her Monday evening - she was already past the point of consciousness - but it was really nice to spend time talking to her kids and remembering her and saying goodbye. She was like another grandma to me - she and my grandpa (her brother) had been close and she was always a fun smiling face at family events. She was also a kindred crafter - it had been so much fun living near her and talking about projects and seeing what she was working on and showing her what I was working on. The kids loved her - she had an amazing doll collection and would organize a "Dolly and Me Tea Party" that the girls and I went to last year and LOVED. She passed away on Friday and it's hard to imagine what it will be like to not see her at the cabin and at Bagna Caulda and to chat with her about what she is working on next. But this is the Aunt Joan that I will always remember and love.
