Grandma Tweedie

Grandma Tweedie passed away. This past week we were able to go to her funeral. It was great to see family again. Peyton remembers Grandma Wheeler but Grandpa Wheeler needed a little getting used to. At the family viewing, we all walked into the room and were trying to be quiet. After a few minutes, April said, "Well, we don't have to be quiet about this! Look at her nails. Aren't they beautiful?" We all laughed and the mood definitely brightened. That's one thing that I LOVE about my mother-in-law... she has the best attitude about life and everything in it.

I was able to play the organ at the funeral. There were definitely times that I choked up while playing but I made it through! Well, almost. During the postlude music, when they wheeled the casket out of the chapel, I broke down. Good thing the Bishop and the funeral director were standing in front of the organ so no one could see!

We decided to stay at a hotel with Russ and Ashley's family. We shared a room with Cam right next door to them. Best decision ever! We had a pool to cool off in, cousins to play with (or bug, haha), and free breakfast. Peyton woke up one morning and the first thing she asked for was to see those boys. She LOVES them! And I'm so glad that they put up with her...
