Mike's Grandma (his mom's mom from Chicago) passed away on January 16th. She'd been home under hospice care after choosing hospice over a major surgery to attempt to correct an intenstinal blockage. She was at home with her family the day she died. Mike, Brian, Vanessa, and their Dad made the trip up to Chicago for her funeral and for some family time. They were there Thursday through Sunday that week. We are thankful they were able to make the trip, spend time with family, and stayed safe while they had 8-9 inches of snow while there on Friday.
This is Grandma and Grandpa Swiderski at Mike's cousin Jennifer's wedding in 2004.
Though we missed him, the kids and I did well with Daddy gone for four days. This was my first extended attempt at single parenthood and though I wouldn't choose it regularly, it went better than anticipated. Thankfully the weather in Texas was nothing like the weather up north and we enjoyed 70 degree days giving Noah the opportunity to spend some time on the new playscape in the backyard. We even managed an outing to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. We took these pictures there and sent to Mike to tell him we were thinking of him and missing him!
