Besides the rest of the family meeting Micah our second purpose was to go through Kathy's (Matt's Mom) belongings. You would have thought this would have been really hard, but surprisingly it was awesome! You never know a person unless you walk in their shoes...or in our case you just go through their stuff! It turns out, with no surprise she loved life and loved memories. I think most of the stuff that came
home was Matt's things! She saved EVERYTHING that had to do with Matt, it was awesome! Everything from his first home run ball to his grade school corny "Ode to my Hockey pads" poem. In her final months she also took up knitting and she was in the process of knitting a pink hat for her grandaughter that we hope to have. We were able to take home some great pictures that will be an everlasting memory in Micah's life. We can't wait to put up pictures of her and show Micah that even though she is gone she is somehow everywhere he turns, and we will be grateful for what she left us!
We also got a chance to catch up with Matt's close friends who all have children now too! We had a blast at the Mall of America in the Underwater World as well as the Zoo. Yes the zoo is still open in below 0 weather...poor animals :) We can't thank the MN family enough for all their love!
We can't wait to go back...in the summer this next time ;)
