Time with Grandma Anderson

Funerals do bring families together.
I think I am turning into my mom- I enjoy funerals.  
The spirit is so strong as it comforts us and gives us hope in the resurrection.
Hunter could not stay away from the casket at the viewing.  
He kept looking at Great Grandma and stroking her hand.
He said that "she looked so cute."
It was a great experience for our children to learn about death-
and they really understood it- they watched the whole process.
They witnessed a mighty change of heart 
as their great grandma prepared to meet her God.


Grandma Anderson came for the graveside service of her mother
and stayed with us for a couple of weeks.
We hardly get to spend much time with her since she lives in Portland.
She enjoyed observing the children and teaching them a few things as well.

Here she is playing a word game on her lap
 to teach the younger children "opposites" 

Here she is teaching Myriam some pointers on the piano.
Kathy is a very accomplished pianist and a piano teacher.
Myriam has got SO MUCH talent- it excites her.

Here she is teaching Sadie how to make
 her delicious cinnamon bread.
