Connery and I traveled to Helena for Peg's memorial service yesterday, and it was beautiful...very fitting for such a beautiful woman. On Wednesday, Chip and I will leave Connery at pre-school and travel to Billings for that service. Amy and Becky are doing amazingly well, but I think any additional support would probably be welcome.
Even though it was under terrible circumstances, it was great to see Meliesa, Chrisy, and Alan, not to mention a bunch of Rosenleaf family members, including the only remaining Howard matriarch, Millie. She looks amazing at over 90 years old!
Again my mom and dad saved the day by corralling Connery so that I could support Amy. My dad in particular went beyond the call of duty, hanging out in the back of the chapel and taking him outside when he needed it. The service was held exactly in the midst of his normal naptime, so it was no picnic. He's still a little overtired today.
Mom, dad, and Alex arrive on Thursday morning for Thanksgiving. I'll post the turkey recipe we're planning to try a little later.
