The last day that I was with my parents, my youngest sister arrived from Iowa. It had been almost two years since we had seen each other, so was fun to talk with each other late into the night.
On Saturday morning, we headed into town for a couple of birthday celebrations.
First, we stopped by to visit our brother and sister-in-law...
...then we met this little sweetie, just a couple of months old!
How excited we were to share in the #1 birthday party for this little guy.
lots of family present to document the "eating of the first birthday cake"
Yummy!
Grampa and Gramma!
Then we were off to visit his cousin who was celebrating his #3 birthday that same afternoon!
He had so much to talk!
We felt so privileged to be able to attend both of the birthday parties for our great nephews! How fun to see them and their parents grow up.
That evening we enjoyed another family meal together with our niece and her family.
The most special treat that evening was an entire book read for us by our great nephew. Such a good reader, such a great performance!
The next day we boarded our plane and headed for sunny California. We are so thankful for the safe travels and for all the family and friends that we were able to see during our week back in the Midwest. We are so blessed!
