where have we been?


Iowa, that's where!

We went to Seth's parents' for five wonderful days and just got back on Tuesday night. Anna had a fantastic time exploring the farm, watching Grandpa's train set, and meeting lots of animals (Sophie the dog, Chewbacca the cat, and assorted farm kittens). We also enjoyed trips to Lauritzen Botanical Gardens and Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha just across the river. And, Anna got to meet her Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Hartwell and many other friends & relatives!

Bonus: Anna rode over 30 hours in the car and only cried for about an hour or two total. (When I say it that way it sounds so good - it sure didn't feel good for that hour or two, though!)

It's such a lovely time of year to be in the Midwest, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Check out lots of photos here.

Hooray for Iowa! I love your photos - next time you come we'll have to meet somewhere in the middle of the state for a play date!...or you can come all the way over and stay at our new place (photos on their way). Your family looks so happy - Anna is such a doll!
