American Girl Weekend

Memaw and Papa came in to visit this weekend and enjoy all things American Girl. On Saturday morning, Lauren enjoyed a little outing with cousins Ashley and Caroline at M and Em's in Glen Ellyn. It was such a cute event. The girls made pajamas for their dolls, got their hair done, their fingernails done and their dolls hair done. They loved it!











On Sunday, we headed downtown. The boys dropped the girls off at American Girl store on their way to the Chicago Auto Show. Lauren was so excited when we walked in. She has been memorizing the catalogue for weeks and waiting and waiting. She was so excited to get McKenna- the girl of the year who is also a gymnast!






We also enjoyed a lovely lunch. They really do such a nice job and Lauren was so excited to have both of her dolls sit next to her.






It was Memaw's first visit.






We were sad to see Memaw and Papa go home but we had such a fun weekend. This weekend, we're off to Des Moines to meet my new nephew, Max! I can hardly wait!!

Thanks for checking in. One of these days I'll post what we've been up to the last several months.

Until next time--

Fall Weekend in Iowa

A few weeks ago we went back to Iowa to visit. We had a great time. As the weather starts to get colder, winter knocking on the door, I thought I would post some pictures of a warmer, sunnier weekend.

We spent Saturday morning at the local pumpkin farm/corn maze. Lauren and Luke were so excited to take their turn on the antique tractor. "Ride, Ride!" as Luke says.











Lauren also fed her "new best friends.". She was so sad when we had to leave.



We tried to make our way through the corn maze, but after about 30 minutes we gave up and made our way back to the entrance.






Papa helped Lauren carve a beautiful pumpkin he grew in his garden!










The other reason we were home was so I could help with the Miss Muscatine Pageant School Event, featuring Katie Stam Miss America 2009. It was such a neat event and great opportunity for area contestants. Miss Muscatine will be giving a $10,000 scholarship this year. I'm proud to be involved with such a wonderful organization that is helping to educate young women.




Thanks for checking in on us. Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for this year...our wonderful family, beautiful children, our health and the roof over our heads. We are blessed.

Until next time--

Sissy wanted in on the action.
