Stayin with the Petes

We did a short trip to stay with the Pete kids in Sept. Ashley and Daniel had a trip planned to go to CA and needed us to come and stay with the kids. It's always complicated getting mom to the nursing home and back again. Then we always have a bad week after she gets home, trying to get back to normal. I took her to Cedar Creek on Tuesday morning, Sept. 5, then we left for the airport about 11 am. We got to Smithfield in time for dinner and lime pie for dessert :)
Here are a few random pictures of the next few days... and some random events! A soccer game for Mason. The Christiansens came to see us on Thursday night and Friday. I got to go do alittle shopping and lunch with Alison, then we took everyone to Chili's for dinner. Alison gave me a whole bag of cute bday gifts and we had ice cream sandwich sundaes for dessert. Ron got flowers for me. Otherwise...we got everyone to school and other activities. Ron was pretty busy trying to coordinate hurricane clean up crews and real estate deals while we were there. Hurricane Irma hit Florida the weekend we were there. Don Williams died... on my birthday. We had to try to keep the cats inside the house. Mason and Hazel were sick by the time Ashley and Daniel got home, so Sunday was not a normal day at church. Jaden was set apart as the secretary of the Deacons quorum. I went to primary with Ashley. The last pic. is Hazel's outfit for church...even though she couldn't go. I fixed lasagne, salad, and bread for dinner... and another lime pie. On Monday we came home, getting up early to get to the airport. Mom, Lisa, and the nurse were just getting to house when we arrived. (and yep...as expected... a bad week of nursing home recovery- lol.)
