Week of Sadness

We had to say good-bye to Grandma Hicks this week. Grandma (GiGi) died last Saturday. The whole family came in to town this past week to say good-bye. The calling hours were Thursday and the funeral was Friday. We love you, Grandma and we will miss you!!

This was after the funeral on Friday. The church had a reception for us with delicious food!

Lily Anna wearing the sailor dress from Gigi and the cross neckalace (can't see it) she gave to her for her first birthday.

Uncle Dennis and Aunt Jeanne's kids - (L to R, starting in the back) Emily, Adam, Lydia, Rachel, Sarah, Michael and Rebekah

The kids had fun playing together all week. Here are a few from them playing outside at Grandma's house.

Tuesday was Rebekah's 5th birthday so we took the kids to the Akron Zoo for the day.

We forgot one of Lily's shoes at Grandma's so we had to buy her a pair of flamingo slippers to wear. She only had one pair of shoes at the time. Now she has another pair =)

Later, back at Grandma's house, we celebrated Rebekah's birthday with a cookie cake.
Thursday was Sarah's 12th Birthday so we took her and the kids bowling.

They had this cool ramp so the little kids could bowl too. Lily bowling.

Jeanne with the two little ones. Lily learned Michael's name and still says it a lot. I think Lily really liked having so many kids to play with all week.

On Saturday, Grammy and Grandpa bought Lily a few gifts for her birthday. She had just gotten up from a nap so she wasn't too happy. But she loves the gifts now!

We are all tired and looking forward to a "normal" week this week.
