About 6 weeks after returning to Switzerland, we made another unexpected trip to Utah. My Grandma Yancey (my father's mother) passed away. She was a wonderful grandma and an amazing, kind person. We will truly miss her. Anyhow, I packed up the girls and we made another long trip halfway across the globe without Rob. Grandma's funeral was beautiful -- such a celebration of her joyful life. All of her grandkids but one made it back -- how great is that! Afterwards, we all gathered at her home -- which is in the hills above Provo to eat and listen to great piano music -- just as we often did at my grandmother's home. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so I've got no pictures of the event. But the girls had a great time seeing their aunts and uncles, cousins and grandma and grandpa.
I was also fortunate to get to visit my sister-in-law, Joy, in the hospital. She was finishing her second round of chemotherapy treatments and has a surprisingly chipper attitude, especially given that she's been in a lot of pain.
The girls, of course, had a great time with Grandma Tia and Grandpa Ken while in Utah.
My brother Ken, Eleanor (one of their twins), Gracie and a very jetlagged Anna Claire.
Of course, nothing beats riding around in Grandma's and Grandpa's driveway! Yes, that is Mariah, only 9 1/2 months old, but big enough to scoot around on a car.
And the race is on. . . zoom. . .zoom. . .!
Hmmm. . .I think I'll just help myself to some of this delicious stuff in Grandma's refrigerator!
Anna Claire loved hanging out with Aunt CK. Every time I mention her name Anna Claire starts to do a little dance. She loves dancing with Aunt CK.
