We spent so much time with the Muirhead crew over the weekend, but it felt like none with Conor's parents. Conor spent a couple of mornings with them, but I saw them less. Our last morning before we hit the road, Jim made him famous and much desired french toast. Hoping to see more of those 2 soon. As we were leaving, Maeve decided to cling to her Nana and refuse us and the thought, "we could leave her here for a week and a half," actually passed through my mind. I must've still been getting over the stripping during the funeral. I quickly came back to my senses and brought my girl home with me. 

We all love to go and visit my Grandma McNeill probably because she loves us so much! My girls are always eager to spend time with her and they are so comfortable visiting. We especially like the newer rec room at the lodge. That's lots of fun! Maeve takes a minute to warm up to everyone. But oh wow, did she ever love my Grandma's sweet wheels. Maeve thought the walker was a lot of fun. 

We had a lovely visiting. Thanks so much for having us over Grandma! We can't wait until our next visit and we love you!

I love spending time with my parents. The kids do too! When we first got to my parents' house late at night, Maeve melted into my Dad and just wanted to snuggle. We spent time with cousins (my sister's kids and my cousin's kids) and let me tell you, my girls loved that! We had a fun little dynamic in that Maeve wanted to do everything Theia was doing and Theia wanted to do everything Holly and Greta were doing! My Mom has some really fun toys that my girls always gravitate towards when we are at their house and I often want to slip some of them into our luggage. But that's stealing so I won't. Maeve took very serious care of a baby doll all weekend. And she adores animals of all types and thinks Freya is the best even though she's so funny looking. It was great to be with the people I love!

We were in Alberta last weekend for Grandma Muirhead's funeral. She lived to the amazing age of 97! I really enjoyed attending her funeral and other services and learning more about her. She was an incredible woman and has left behind an amazing legacy of faith and love. I'm so grateful to share her surname. It was a good weekend for checking in and being reminded of what really matters in life. 

The photos I took don't really tell a great story, there's lots of holes. But the days were filled with family and a baby who removed all her clothes during the funeral service. It was intense. And so worthwhile. 

Last weekend, we were up in Alberta. We spent a night at my Granny's house. Holly and Greta loved discovering and exploring all of my grandmother's trinkets and treasures. And Maeve wanted nothing more than to be best friends with my Granny's cat, Mimi. We were up early the following morning preparing for the funeral in Lethbridge. When I was getting ready, I could hear Holly and Greta chatting relentlessly with my Granny. I was reminded that my daughters are love. If you are family, they don't hold back. The approach all of their family relationships from a place of worthiness and love. We haven't seen my Granny in a little over two years. That didn't matter. She's family and they were going to love her.
