Another Trip to PA Feb 2009

In February we returned to PA to be with my mom's family - this time for my Grandfather's funeral. Micah got to play with my cousins. They were so sweet with him.

He had fun bowling (funny story below) at my Grammie's nursing home
and playing in the snow with Elisha, Oma and Opa.

We had a memorial service for my Granddad at my Grammie's nursing home. This was after the service at the funeral home and the one at the graveside. During the service, Micah got restless and Opa took him for a walk. They went by the room with the bowling table (see above). Micah asked Opa if he could go bowling and Opa told him that they would need to ask Grammie later. After they finished their walk, they returned to the memorial service, which was wrapping up, but not quite over. When they walked in, Micah walked toward the front. Opa thought he was headed to sit with Oma. Instead he walked right up to Grammie and asked, "Will you go bowling with me?" She didn't hear him, so the lady next to him repeated rather loudly, "He wants to know if you will go bowling with him." Grammie's face lit up and she smiled bigger than I have seen her smile in quite some time. Everyone laughed. It was the perfect, innocent comedic relief we all needed. And later Micah did indeed get to go bowling.
