Oregon Trip

We took a trip to Oregon to attend Derrick's mothers funeral. She was in a car accident and died January 17. We will miss her greatly. We had a really nice time visiting and reconnecting with all of Derricks brothers and sisters and cousins and other family. The drive was 16 hours there and 20 hours back due to snow and ice on the road the ENTIRE way back. The kids were real troopers. We were able to visit my sister Stephanie on the way there, and my sister Jenni on the way back. My parents and my sister Alissa met us in Oregon and attended the funeral with us. I loved seeing them and their presence was comforting to our family.

Here is a picture of the kids with Stephanie.
