Full Weekend

We went to Iowa this weekend. We left Chicago on Thursday afternoon and returned today. We were busy from the minute we left town, but it was so good.
Thursday night we spent time with old friends catching up. It was such a comfort to be with friends who know us deeply and care about us just as deeply.
Friday night we celebrated my nephew Jacob's 6th birthday. I cannot believe what a kind, wonderful boy he is. We ate good food at my Mom and Dad's house, and enjoyed some much needed laughter.
Saturday we met up with Brandon's side of the family to celebrate Easter and have a bridal shower for his sister who will be married in two weeks! We got to spend some time with our three sweet nephews who are growing so fast! Lucy was glad to see us and we were glad to see her! I don't have any pictures from this weekend since I forgot my camera. Bummer. It was not exactly a restful weekend, but it was full of time with people that we love dearly.
Happy Easter!
