Well we finally made the trip up to Iowa to see my family. It was a great weekend! I didnt get to take as many pictures The first stop was my Dad's house where we dropped off our misbehaving dog(more on that later).. and visited with my childhood neighbors. The second visit was to my grandmothers house (above) Isn't she the cutest grandma? Love her. We had a nice visit with her and ofcourse because she is grandma she made us something nice to eat. She was tickled to finally meet the girls. It was a wonderful sight! The next and final stop was my sisters house in Urbandale so we could meet Jillian, my sister Jessi's little girl (she is only one month older than the girls). My sister just moved this summer so we had not been to her house, Brian said "how will we know it is her house." I said " well that looks like my brother in law's truck and I am going to pull in the drive way and honk and if you see 4 kids jumping up and down through the window, we are at the right place" Haha. Sure enough when I honked I saw 4 little kids jumping up and down looking out the window.
We had a great time! My sisters baby sat and Brian and I went on a much needed date on Saturday night. We went to see "The Lovely Bones." Great movie, better book but the movie does follow the book pretty closely.
What a great weekend. I cannot wait to go back this spring. It was so great to see my family. I have not seen them for so long. My sister Jessi had not met the twins yet and I had not met Jillian. Mandy's kids had only seen pictures as well as Jessi's older two so it was great. We all had dinner , my dad was there, it was a nice time just hang out and be a family. The kids have all changed so much. Andi has really grown...wish I had a picture... Cohan has this new little voice. Gabi is all GIRL. she likes to dress up so she changed her outfit like ten times when I was there. Mariana is the oldest and ofcourse has that 8 year old knowledge of everything in life. Jillian was just an adorbale baby with the cutest chunky legs.
Those are great pictures to have.
ReplyDeleteHow is your dad doing? I haven't seen him since my days of going back from college on the weekends and working up on the hill.
Thanks! He is doing good. He works a lot and eats on the hill and at the wonderful dinky diner. How is your mom? She still in Leon?
ReplyDeleteShe is doing good. She just got back from Hawaii yesterday so I'm guessing she's doing pretty good. ;)
