And We're Off.......

To Iowa/Chicago that is. We'll be spending one week in Iowa at Grandpa Shippy and Amma's farm to play with all 8 cousins (the majority being boys!). Grandpa already has his tractors ready to go and the four wheeler tuned up, so we're excited about letting everyone run free and hopefully burn off some good energy while the adults get to catch up. Then, we're off to Chicago for a week to spend time with Kurt's family. We're excited to see our 3 nieces, Aunt Stef, Uncle Keith and Grandma Aichele along with some other relatives that might be home visiting. We also hope to touch base with some old friends in the area! It will be a whirlwind two week trip, but much needed and anticipated! Hopefully post pictures when things settle down when we get home!
