She's gone, he's gone.

My MIL passed away this week, her battle with cancer over. The funeral was today and she would have been happy with the service. I have a lot of different emotions about this right now so I can't really talk about it.

When we returned to the house from the funeral, we found that our dog Magnum had passed too while we were gone. I brought him with us (to Dh's parents house) instead of finding someone to take care of him or putting him in the kennel.

On a lighter note, we did do school this week although I don't have pictures to share because I didn't bring my camera. We read about the Franks and Clovis, created a few volcanoes and did what we needed to in math and reading. The kids and I are going home Monday and hopefully we can transition back into a routine. We're just in a sad season right now.

  6. Oh girl - hugs to you and your family. I will be praying for you all. It's so strange how school can be so grounding and settling for us as home school families. I know it's hard for you right now - we're all here for you!
