Wedding in Omaha

We traveled to Omaha for Chris's cousin Stephanie's wedding.  The night before we left, we got the news that Chris's uncle David (his mom's brother) was in a motorcycle accident in Omaha.  When we arrived the next day, we met the whole family at the hospital and he passed away late that night.  It was hard on everyone there, but to see all of Mary's family which includes 9 siblings (counting Dave) and nearly 30 cousins all lean on each other for strength and get through his passing, a wedding, a wake, and a funeral within 4 days was pretty amazing.  I decided their family motto should be "Keep Calm and Carry On".  The wedding was beautiful and it was nice to see everyone.  We stayed with Chris's Uncle Terry and his family again and our girls loved playing with their girls.  We had a little bit of a debacle with our flight home.  We were supposed to leave on Saturday, but our flight didn't exist anymore (long story) so we stayed an extra day.  It ended up working out because we were able to hang out with everyone one more night and go to the vigil for Uncle David the day we left.  Needless to say, we were all pretty wiped after we got home.  Good thing our girls are troopers!
