Grandma Eunice Patterson's Funeral

What a fun and interesting weekend this was. We left April 17th after David got off work, luckily he was able to get off a little early. I really didn't want to drive in the dark. Tegan did very well on the ride there and back. He only watched a little bit of a movie. He spent most of the time reading books with his Leapfrog Tag Jr. Best thing that I have ever bought him.
The next day Sunday, April 18th was my b-day and David let me sleep in while him and Tegan went to church with his brother's family. Best gift I got! His family did their best to make my b-day feel special by getting me a cake. Tegan of course was cranky that day due to not taking a nap. He did take a little cat nap at his brothers but it just wasn't enough.
Monday was Grandma's service. We got up that morning and got everything ready for us to leave right after the luncheon. As we pulled up for the last few minutes of the viewing before the funeral Tegan threw up all over himself and his car seat. Luckily that morning he didn't eat much (probably due to not feeling well) he just drank a lot of water. So we headed back to his brothers house to change Tegan's clothes and head back. He threw up again on our way back and I was able to catch it (as I was gagging the entire time). The service was beautiful and it was great to learn so much about Grandma. Tegan last about an hour and then we were out in the halls of the church. Tegan was so tired from lack of sleep and locked himself in a room (a room that is located in the same spot as the nursery room in our own church building) and fell asleep on the floor. He would not let me in the room, every time I would go in he would yell at my in his gibberish language to get out. We then headed to the cemetery for the burial. Tegan was a goofball the entire time. He enjoyed going up to all the graves and "read" the letters. He had a fun time running around with all his cousins that he only sees a few times per year. Afterwards we ate quickly at the luncheon and then headed home.
Every night for 3 nights after we returned home Tegan would throw up in the middle of the night. He acted totally fine during the day so we don't know what he had. I didn't like waking up to vomit all over him and then have to bathe him afterwards, but at least it was pretty much confined and not all over things that I would not be able to wash.

LOVE this picture of my two favorite boys. Too bad David's tie is all weird.

The best family pic we could get with the tired and cranky Tegan.



It was great seeing so many members of David's family and meeting new ones. It sure was overwhelming...he has a very large family.
