Grandma Blazin's Bread Pans
One of the things that seems strange about death is that you leave behind an entire life's worth of belongings. Objects that were so necessary and part of your everyday life suddenly have no owner. No one to use them. We went through many of Grandmas belongings and everyone took a few things that were meaningful to them. I loved hearing from each of my cousins and siblings about the items they would most like to have any why. Grandma didn't have much in her house that wasn't either very useful or very meaningful. I gravitate toward the useful items. I brought home Grandmas bread pans. Making read for my family or friends is something that makes me really happy. I'm guessing Grandma enjoyed it for the same reasons I do. I also brought home a small ceramic bowl from the kitchen that had toothpicks in it. Grandpa Blazin always had a toothpick in his mouth after a meal. I bet those were his toothpicks.
Funeral and Fun
Grandma Blazin's Funeral weekend was really more of a celebration. A beautiful service honoring our amazing Grandma combined with lots of visiting, eating, laughter, and fun. Here are a few pictures.

Together
We don't have them all together nearly as much as we'd like. It's worth documenting! Here they are ready for church. Crazy crew.

Sam's Surgery
Here are a couple pictures of Sam after surgery. His procedure was on February 25 at Children's Mercy. Dr. Keeler was his surgeon. He had both femurs cut and rotated to create better hip alignment. His right tibia was cut and rotated for better alignment. Growth plates in his right knee were pinned to give some future range of motion in his knee. And muscle releases were done in each aductor. He has plates in each hip and a pin and cast on the right lower leg. And he's still smiling. That's our Sam. His favorite part of the hospital was chocolate shakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
