I had a great time seeing/visiting with my family in Ohio, I'm just sorry that the reason for my travels was to attend the wakes, funeral, and burial of my grandfather.

I enjoyed hearing the stories I've heard 1,000 times over and over again. I love the story about Grandma and Grandpa going grocery shopping...with two carts. One for Grandpa's Pepsi, Hershey's bars, and pretzels, and one for Grandma who got everything she knew he wouldn't: the "good" stuff, or the stuff that's good for you, at least. I laugh every time I hear stories like that.

Mia had a good time playing with her cousins, Josh especially. Those two were a riot to watch in the empty parlors at the funeral home.

I had to take Mia out of the funeral when Hannah was beginning to achieve some success in coaxing her to crawl down the pew. I guess I could have gone back in with her after Hannah crawled up (under) two rows to get to Sean...but I didn't hear about that til later. Good times.
