Back in Black
We had a really good trip. The kids did great in the car on the way there we stopped 3 times for potty breaks for a total time of 5.5 hours. On the way back Yin had to potty every 30 miles. So it made for a very VERY long trip home. We also stopped at Target becuase... well I love Target.
Rudy's great Aunt passed this week and I am a little torn on what to do with the kids. When Rudy talked with Yuri he was immediately very upset and crying. Yin saw Yuri crying and then she started crying. If you ask Yin how many grandma's she has she will say Nene, Grandma D, McBride, Memaw C, and N*****. So while N is a great aunt to my kids she is like another grandma.
I know that I will not be taking either to the actual funeral- aka graveside services. It will be to emotional for Yin and Yuri to understand why everyone is upset. I am a little torn on the visitation. Any advise would be great. I am sure that I can get a sitter for Yin, and Yuri could go to the visitation and then back home with me.
Keep our family in your prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
When BabyGirl was about Yin's age, FarmBoy's grandpa passed away. FarmBoy didn't want the kids to see Grandpa in Country at first, but eventually we let them look in the casket. My thoughts on it were, they were not as close to G'pa as they are to their other grandparents. I'd rather attempt to explain death to them now than with someone who was a part of their daily lives.
Afterwards they asked a lot of questions about where Grandpa was & why was he in that box if he's really in heaven with Jesus. They got upset at times, but for the most part the delt with it very well.
But since it sounds like your kids were very close to N*****, I really can't offer much advice.
I'll be praying for you & your family.
