Tired

Everyone,

A long day of driving for us. We enjoyed Russ's funeral. I was trying to upload pictures but it just won't let me do it. I am beat so this will be short.

Russ is loved by many many people. We were late (because we got lost, stupid google maps) and I was shocked to see the entire chapel filled with people. They even opened the overflow and people were standing in the back. Wow. If only I could be as loved at my funeral.

I didn't know Uncle Russ was in the Peace Corps and went to Ethiopia. I didn't know he rode his bike to work for years, biking over 200,000 miles. I didn't know he worked for the Department of Transportation and helped with the Metro here in the DC area. All really cool stuff.

Juice had the best time talking to his Uncles and Aunt and cousins. Butterfly was able to play with some of the kids, although she was pretty tired/cross from having to be quiet for so long. The boys were amazing, as always. We got a lot of comments from him and everyone thinks Pirate looks just like Juice.

The only thing we missed was Grandma and Grandpa.
