We made it!

Andy, Drew and Kayley arrived safely in Peoria Saturday night and I made it back to the Iowa farm around the same time. We left on the 16th and spent the first night in Santa Fe. Thursday we drove to Brush, CO to spend the night. Brush is not a town that I will likely ever visit again in my life time. :-) It had a very nice hotel, though. Friday morning we made our way to Omaha. They stayed at Uncle Mitch's home and I stayed at Matt's. Matt and I took Drew and Kayley to Dave and Buster's for dinner and some game playing. They had a good time and then we took them back to Mitch's place. They played in his big yard until dusk, which I had forgotten is so much later than AZ night time! They left Sat. morning for Peoria and I stayed at Matt's to help him do some landscaping. I left at 4:30 to head to the farm. It was so good to see Matt and so good to be back with grandpa. I am missing the kids something fierce, though. Today was their first day of daycare...I hope it isn't traumatic for them. They will love it, though. They need to be with other kids now, no matter how much granny misses them!

My good friend Sue should become a grandma today. Karen is in labor and I cannot wait to hear if it is a boy or a girl! I pray all goes well.

Here are two videos. The first is Drew and Kayley's last time in their AZ pool. The second is our night in Omaha.
