Nebraska, Here We Come!!

Shirley Jean made her first trip to Nebraska last weekend, to meet her Husker relatives. It only took ELEVEN hours for us to get there...traveling with an infant is hard work, but well worth it! We had a wonderful time!

Stretching out in the grass somewhere in Iowa.


Shirley Jean meets Great-Grandma Jean.

Shirley Jean meets Alana Kathryn (just five little weeks old!). If my mother and Alana's mother are first cousins, what does that make Shirley and Alana?

A quiet moment with Alana. I can't believe how big my own baby is compared to this little peanut!!



Both Pam and Kari Jo have the magic touch at putting babies to sleep!
