Iowa

Since we found out that we were going to Wisconsin I have been planning a trip to Iowa. My Aunt Ginny and all of her family live there. I have so many great memories of my cousin Megan and I going to visit her and my Uncle John while we were growing up. I love Iowa, its so pretty with all of its corn fields and rolling hills.
My mom, sister, aunt Bev and Grandma came up to Aunt Ginnys too while we were there. It was WONDERFUL seeing everyone. I'm only sad that all we had was a couple of days together. We made the most of it though and just enjoyed our time together. Michael was a sweetheart and put the girls to bed both nights saying "You stay up and talk girl talk with your mom and sister". So that's what we did! I love my family and spending time with them. This weekend was perfect for that.

That looks like so much fun and beautiful!!! I bet you had a grat time. Your girls are looking so big! I am hoping so badly that we can work out a time to get together. I am even thinking of meeting you by myself in Chicago minus Andy if he cannot get work off. We should know more tonight. Miss you and thanks for the kind comment.

ERIN!!
i LOVED these pictures of your family! family is so special, and i love yours- even the ones i haven't met. that sounds cheesy.
okay. i cannot believe how old avi is! and i knew she looked like emry, but seeing the two of them together it's hard to believe they aren't sisters! and dressing them alike makes it impossible to believe. that is crazy.
i am so glad you got to do this!

Fantastic pictures! It makes me homesick for my Emmie! Give her a hug for me. I'm so glad you got to spend time with everyone. I love the picture of the front porch. It looks like a "front porch sittin'" kind of place.

Wow! I am so happy you got to spend time with your mom and sister and see some more of you family,and get to show your cute girls off. It looks so beautiful back there, I would never want to leave. Like mom said, "a front porch sittin" kind of place. Thanks for calling and talking to Sammie, she just loves you so much.

Wahoo I'm so glad that you finally got to spend some time with your family! For a second I thought the pictures of Avi were pictures of Emry. Your niece and nephew are getting so big and they are both sooo cute. It's fun to see those pictures. I'm glad you're having fun! Miss you!

Awh, what a fun time! I was just thinking the other day about our time on 12th Street growing up. We had it made didn't we?! Wonderful memories and I can only hope my children will have a neighborhood like we did. Miss you guys very much!
