Grandpa's funeral

I have a bunch a pictures I need to update and put on. We've had a bit of a flu bug in our house for about a week and it's finally caught up to me today. I went to work for just over an hour and came home. Luckily Clay was home and been helping with the kids but he had to go to work so I'm winging it.

Grandpa Jensen passed away on December 23rd. I'm so grateful for the time I was able to spend with him the weekend before he passed. The funeral was such a great opportunity to reflect on such a wonderful life and example. I took some pictures of the graveside service and some of the family after the luncheon. It was great to catch up on some of the family we don't get to see very often.

All of the children are dealing with Grandpa's death in such different ways. Amanda still will go around and tell people that "Grandpa died." She had a hard time at the viewings too. They had a nursery for the little kids during the funeral where she and Jonathan went. Christina, Daniel, and Samantha went with us.

The funeral was held on M0nday, December 29th, with viewings on Sunday night and Monday morning.
