Iowa for Easter

We are in Iowa right now visiting family for the Easter holiday. We are having a great time, but getting here was pretty crazy. It was my first time flying with both kids by myself. Yikes.

This was in the airport before we even took off. Notice how they are both kind of blurry. That is called Constant Motion, and I don't know many 1 and 2-year-olds who do not fit that description. 


This one slept for about 20 minutes. She must have been worn out from all that crying. 


Thank goodness for snack time.

We survived the trip. Barely. And now we are enjoying our time with family here in the midwest. 

Our first stop on day #1 was to see Nanny. She has a pretty fun house with lots of breakable toys, as Peter will tell you. 


Staring contest. 


Peter really likes reading with Nonnie. Jack the dog is an excellent storytime companion. 


Peter and Clara's cousins from Chicago arrived yesterday. Hooray! Now there is someone to join Peter on his pink tricycle rides. 


Cousin Vivi is the sweetest. Here she is giving Clara a smooch.


I think Moe has pulled Peter around the yard in this wagon about 750 times. 


We had a big, fun and very chaotic dinner last night. 


Peter sang every song he knew. 


We celebrated Grace and Clara's first birthdays at dinner. There is baby Grace with her parents at the dinner table. 


We are having a really fun time here and are looking forward to lots of Easter festivities in the coming days. I am also have a great time seeing some old friends. Today, I got to spend a little time with one of my oldest friends, Katie, and her FOUR kids. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures, but if you check out her blog, you can see the ones she took.
