Oh, how I miss this family!


Genevieve and I flew out to Illinois for Tommy's baptism.


I loved meeting this cute girl for the first time.
And seeing this fun fella again! He became Genevieve's best friend! They played so well together.

I loved watching the love this family has for one another.





It rained the first two days while we were there.


We were so grateful for the sun we received after that. We headed right over to the park to enjoy the beautiful weather.


Joe - 3 years old


Spencer- 5 years old


Genevieve - 3 years old


This post is a little out of order, but I have no desire to fix it.


We left Vegas at 1:40am! This girl was so excited to go on her first airplane ride. The plane was driving over to the runway and she kept asking, "Are we flying?".... "Are we flying right now?"


I'm pretty sure she was out right after take off and slept the whole 3 1/2 hour flight. If we add that to the hour she slept in the car to the airport....that's a total of 4 1/2 hours of sleep for this 3 year old. We took a long nap that afternoon.


I was so glad that my mom came too. It was fun bunking with her and getting silly with her. You see, we were so sleep deprived that everything was funny. She had me in tears laughing a few times.




Grandma let Joe and Genevieve do her hair.


She listened to Tommy read.


And she helped Spencer climb a tree.


We were glad that we had the chance to watch Tommy and Spencer play baseball.


Tommy played really well with Genevieve.





We spent one day at a huge zoo. These geese made our day!


I've never seen a giraffe lick a tree.







It was sad saying goodbye. We sure enjoyed out visit!
