College Get Together

Nate and I adventured out for our first night away from all three children yesterday.  We headed south to Ames, IA (Iowa State University) for what I consider a perfect day!  We began by eating at our favorite college restaurant, Great Plains Sauce and Dough Company.  Then spent the day driving around campus and reminiscing, visiting with some friends at their new home, and attending a friend's beautiful wedding.  The best part about the day besides seeing our friend happily get married was being able to spend the night socializing with some of our closest college friends during and after the ceremony.  And to top it off, we woke up to a breakfast for two, and came home to a clean house with three happy children.
 



A very special thank you to my mom for sacrificing her weekend to watch the kids.  Words can not express our gratitude.  We love you lots and appreciate all you do to help us.

It works great when you lock them in a closet and feed them a couple of times! They were great! Any time!! Love Mom xoxo
