We've been so busy since getting back from Michigan, but I have finally made my way back to Blog Land
(hi!)
We had such a great time in Saginaw visiting with Kevin's family and friends (shout out to John & Carolyn, Aunt Jennie & Uncle Dave, Kate & Del, Aunt Judy, and Aunt Wendy!) and are so glad we came back for the memorial.
We flew out Thursday morning and stayed with John and Carolyn the first night. They live in an adorable town called Williamston and we got the chance to walk around and have dinner at Tavern 109 that evening. And of course, Kevin was more than eager to catch up with John over Bell's beers and an old fashion.
Friday we headed to St. Charles and stayed with the DeHart's (close family friends to the Lauckner's) and had such a great time with them. They were so warm and welcoming, and even accommodated food, milk, and snacks for the babes.
Saturday we attended the memorial. Kirk did the service, he and Anne sang I'd Rather Have Jesus and Amazing Grace, Judy put together a slide show, and Amy gave a lovely eulogy; it was a beautiful tribute.
(oh and the meal afterwards- good heavens! I've never seen so many casseroles in my entire West-coast-breed life. Calorically speaking, I must be a Midwestern girl at heart!)
Aside from the main events, we spent most of our time at the DeHart's, relaxing and visiting with family.
I am so happy we were able to spend time with Kevin's family and celebrate Nana's life; we enjoyed every minute of our trip!
