Our Quick Trip

We have arrived home again, and while it was a great trip I think Bennett is happy to be home again. Even though I swore I would never fly with Bennett by myself again, he was a champ!

My grandmother's funeral service was wonderful. I am always amazed at how much you learn about a person at their funeral.

Everytime I go to Portland I am struck by how pretty all the trees are. Her cemetary has beautiful trees and wild purple flowers growing amongst the headstones.

I haven't seen my cousin Andrea for probably 4 years. Her hair has changed color and we were actually mistaken for each other! It was really nice to see her and the rest of the family.

It was really fun to see my dad with the rest of his family. I don't think everyone has been together since I was a little girl. My dad will always be the baby of his family, no matter how old he gets.

This is my dad's family at my grandmother's graveside. It was fun to see them all together.

It was really nice to have a chance to see my family also, even if some of them were missing. Bennett enjoyed the attention from everyone.

Is there a family resemblance? It is hard to tell with Kevin's coloring being so obvious.

Four generations of our family.

And while we were there, Bennett discovered toilet paper. Good thing he is too short to reach the roll at home!

It was a wonderful, but very quick trip. It was wonderful to see everyone, most of whom I haven't seen in years. With my grandparents having 5 children, 23 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 5 more of on the way, the family is growing quickly and it is hard to keep track of everyone!
