Spring Break 2014

Spring Break 2014 was a very interesting spring break.  It started with my parents coming down to help organize the storage room.  Doug, Maleia, and the kids came down on Sunday.  Doug headed back on Sunday and Maleia and the kids headed back on Monday because Ben wasn't eating and she wanted to take him to the dr.  My parents, Ethan, and I headed to Sharon Springs for a few days.

Ethan finally let Grandpa start the tractor and rode it around!

Unfortunately, baby Ben kept getting worse and worse and on Friday we got word that he wasn't going to make it.  My parents headed back to Topeka from getting a car trailer in Texas to be with Ethan and Jed and I headed up to Omaha to be with the family.  Ben passed away on Friday night surrounded by his parents and a few family members at the young age of 3 1/2 months.  This was/is an incredibly sad time that none of us understand.  We headed back to Topeka Saturday evening, then back to Omaha on Tuesday evening for a Wednesday funeral.  The funeral was hard, but we did try to remind ourselves to enjoy the time with our family.  This whole experience made me stop and think about my priorities with my family and remind myself to always enjoy the moments I have.
