Family Time

My Dad & Sister both came to town for my Grandma's funeral last week.  I wish it had been under better circumstances, but it's always nice to have them visit.  We also got the chance to catch up with some of our extended family who we hadn't seen in years!

I was brave (or so I thought) and took the kids with me to the funeral.  (The Hubs couldn't get out of work, something about being the only kidney transplant doc left in the city as the others were off that day.)  Luckily my sister had gotten into town the night before and was able to help me with the kiddos.  Morgan & Joey did pretty well and were even well-behaved in the church.  I was asked to get up and speak about my favorite memories of my Grandma since I am the oldest granddaughter.  When I got up to walk to the front of the church, Morgan threw a fit and started screaming, so I just brought her up there with me.  I figured people could focus on the cute little toddler and less on the nervous Mom, lol!

Over the weekend, we went to a Halloween party/Fundraiser that the Northern Kentucky Children's Advocacy Center puts on every year.  It was fun to get out and have a little fun after a somber few days.

Just hanging out with Grandpa, telling him who's boss around here.

She can't smile when taking a picture with Mom!  My hair is finally growing back out, BTW, haha...

A wig and a diaper is all you need for a little Halloween fun!

And I wish these were a little clearer; my sister snapped them with her phone and sent them to me when Joe & I ran out to his mom's house for a little bit.  I died laughing!!

 Connie (my sis) said Morgan though she was so neat in this getup; she kept looking at herself in the mirror, ha!!

Joey got in on the dress-up fun too with his Bats onesie and Halloween sockies.

Flo and the Little Witch.  (My wig wasn't quite right but the costume was still fun)

Connie & Jacob (My sis & Nephew)

So fun to have fam in town.  I should add this post was made possible by the Fisher-Price Jumparoo.  Morgan is in school and Joey is a happy little camper jumping around in that thing.  LIFESAVER ; )  When Morgan is home, I am NOT allowed on the computer at all.  She wants to be on it, pounding on the keyboard and throws a fit if I don't let her.  So I don't even attempt to sneak on it anymore....she's getting too smart!
