Iowa Family and Fun

The main reason we head back to Iowa is to see the relatives - and we have no shortage of them!!

This is Nedelle, Todd's daughter - she's taller than the both of us!!  It was great to catch up with her and her mom and eat dinner together!

One morning we headed up to Don and Nadine's home - Cousin Brent joined us and Nadine always puts out a lovely brunch!

We had our annual farm meeting and the 6 of us headed to Woodbine to eat a fantastic dinner!

We celebrated an early 88th birthday for Glenn's mom and saw lots of relatives - it's always fun to get together!  And the potluck was amazing!

These are Neal and Jen's kids - our other 2 grand kids!  They are super energetic and fun to be around!

I guess this picture must have been taken when we went out to eat as we're dressed up!!  The other days found us in sweatpants and sweatshirts - ha!

And many, many hours were spent on the computer - we not only found our place to stay in San Francisco for our sisters trip next spring, but we also made the decision that we ARE going to Europe together next fall on a bus tour!!   WOW - very excited with lots of planning to be done!

And getting ahead of myself  - here's the cute little gnome I bought from a lady in Soldier who makes the most darling gnomes for any occasion imaginable!!  Isn't he cute?
