GG's Mom

Brian's grandmother passed away this past weekend.  Brian's parents were visiting us at the time and we were hoping to make it up there to see her on Sunday but unfortunately didn't make it in time.  We went to Cincinnati for the visitation and funeral Tuesday and Wednesday.

It was a sad reason to be up there, but it was nice to see a lot of Brian's relatives and see where Cinda grew up.  And Carter was super excited to spend some more time with GG and Papa Art.  Once when Rylan saw them getting out of their car, he even said "GG and Papa Art!".  I'm so glad the boys love all their grandparents so much!

Brian's sister Shannon also flew in from New Zealand.  Carter remembered seeing her at Christmas because when we told him that she was going to be there, he said,"She slept in the playroom," which is where she stayed.

The four of us shared a hotel room that wasn't a suite with a separate bedroom for the first time Tuesday night.  It was past their normal bedtime when we went to bed, but the boys did great.  Carter got to sleep in a real bed by himself for the first time (he's still in his crib with the front taken off - I'm shopping around for a new bed).  He was SO EXCITED.
