Last week, we unexpectedly had a family reunion in Detroit as we gathered together for Nona’s funeral. I’m so glad that we were all able to go back and spend time together.
Grandma opened up her wedding dress box, and Elizabeth tried it on!
At the visitation, the kids mostly hung out downstairs. Janie loved coloring with Henry.
We are all in love with cousin Sterling!
After the funeral luncheon, we spent the afternoon at Debbie and Dale’s. The kids were in awe of all the grass.
It was Nicole’s first time with the whole Fam, since the Busses and Cobbs missed the wedding due to Nona’s illness and KK’s pregnancy.
After the internment, we honored Nona by eating at Picano’s, her favorite Italian restaurant. Note that Kaitlyn and Kelly bravely took on kid duty for four extra kids at one end of the table so we could eat a normal meal on the other end.
Now that Grandma and Grandpa have moved to Rochester, we’re super close to our favorite cider mill! And they have gluten-free doughnuts, with no added dairy or molasses, so it’s a treat Nicole, Jen, and Grandpa can all enjoy!
Tommy follows in his father’s footsteps by laughing harder around his uncles than at any other time. He’s Matthew and Jason’s number one fan.
I had to capture one picture of us traveling easily for the last time for a long while–with all the kids capable of carrying their own backpacks and suitcases around. It’s been glorious while it lasted.
These two are getting to be such pros on flights that I know they’ll be super helpful next time we fly with a baby sister (and accompanying toddler gear) along for the ride.
Stay tuned for an introduction of a new little Muller-to-be, joining us for her first visit this weekend!
I’m sorry to hear about Nona passing. She has always seemed larger than life (although technically small) from your stories and pictures of her over the years!
Bethany’s comment is perfect regarding Nona! We were (and are) praying for you all and especially the little one fortunate enough to be joining your family soon!
