Iowa weekend



We had a wonderful weekend in Iowa with my college roomies (minus one) and some of their families. The three of us came home very tired, but I think that is a sure sign of a good time.



We spent a lot of time at my friend Katie's, and Elijah loved exploring her house. He had fun checking out the pumpkins, calling out repeatedly for Bob the Cat ("Bob! Bobby! Cat!") and closing himself in their fireplace (don't worry, it was off and he was safe).



Katie and her husband, Drew, made us a ridiculously delicious and elaborate feast, as they do every year. I can still taste the juicy flavor of the smoked chicken. Mmmmmmmm.



Missy and her family drove up from southern Iowa and it was fun getting to know her kids better. We even got to splash around with them at the Kings Pointe waterpark!



We have a fairly normal week ahead of us. Oh, aside from the fact that a child at the daycare Elijah goes to caught the H1N1 virus. Dan canceled some work to keep Elijah out of d/c as a precaution, so we will see how the last part of the week plays out.



Here is the wonderful hostess of the weekend, the beautiful Katie!

Love the pictures, I am glad you all had a great weekend.

I hope E does not get the virus. That is good that Dan is able to take off work to keep him out, hope this helps.
