Quick Trip to Iowa

Tim was planning to attend a wrap party for a movie he recently worked on, so we all decided to come along on a roadtrip to Iowa. Alexander was once again happy to be facing forward.


And he was super excited about getting to stay in a hotel room. He thought their flimsy $20 metal crib was far more fun than his Amish-built solid wood crib at home. I won’t tell our Amish friend… and he probably doesn’t read this blog.

His manic enthusiasm was short lived and he completely crashed in the hotel room before the party even started. So Tim went to the party, and I hung around the hotel room and watched a marathon of Ice Road Truckers on the History Channel. (Never quite got the "History" angle of watching a beefy bearded man who calls himself "Bear" drive big rigs in dangerous conditions, but it was surprisingly entertaining.)

While in Iowa, we were able to make two quick pitstops. One to see Great Grandma (AKA GG)


And one to see my good friend Amy and her family. Enjoy this picture of none of us looking at the camera, squinting, and being generally disheveled. We were all a bit tired and full of IHOP goodness.

Stephanie!
I miss you! Your baby is beautiful. Iowa is still here.... the middle of Iowa is being held firmly in its place. It's gearing up for Advent/Christmas so it's kind of crazy around here. But I'm getting out of town this weekend and heading up to Minneapolis for some lovey-dovey time with the beau, happy about that. Next time your in Iowa-y let me know. It would be fun to visit.

Peace and love this Christmas season,
Rev (eye-brow raise) Sara
