- packing. I am bad at it. I keep trying, but I do not seem to be able to come up with a system that allows one to find what they pack...any suggestions??
- living out of above stated suitcase (probably because it is NOT packed correctly...
- repacking to go home one day later, which means throwing everything that was tossed out back in...
- unpacking at home...again, do you see a flow of the problem here???
- playing, tickling, soothing, feeding, changing, singing with a baby in a car seat for 300 miles
What I do love about traveling...
- arriving safe and sound at a destination (even with a traffic ticket and fine....)
- checking into a hotel, finding your room more than adequate, and several family members already checked in!!
- attending a family wedding, seeing cousins and siblings, several children..witnessing vows and exchanging well wishes, and of course, receptions and dances!
- Saturday lunch at Uncle Willy and Aunt Joyce, the usual warm welcome, the abundance of food, complete with the famous Cinnamon rolls, and more family than I could count...
- walking in my own front door and thinking," isn't it good to be home?"
We did totally enjoy a weekend jaunt to Sioux Center for Cousin Laurie's daughter Jenna's wedding. A quick trip indeed, but as stated above, so good to see family and catch up just a little!
Georgia and I can't help but notice the combines, tractors, wagons, and semis all busy with the work of bringing in the harvest. The weather will be cooperating this week, and I'm even thinking we might plan a picnic for Sunday, with a forecast of 60's and sunshine for the weekend!This will be a busy week for us, Noah turns 7 on Friday, and Jodi will celebrate a birthday too! This Friday, I'll be giving my sister her Christmas gift..a ticket to the Mercy Me concert in Des Moines, with one little catch...she has to take ME along! We are soo looking forward to it!!
Enjoy your week, more from us later!
