We love to visit our Aunt Christie! The family traveled to Dyersville for Cousin Luke's birthday party!!!

It's a growing group! But we all managed to squeeze in for a family photo of the grand kids.

Over break I stirred up some creativity and chalk board paint! While the other walls are yellow and indigo, one wall was painted with blackboard paint for the kids to write on the walls WITH permision :)

Nate jumped right in!

Mom couldn't resist too!

While visiting the River Museum in Dubuque, we toured

the William Black Boat and checked out their dining room. I guess we missed the dinner bell...

Nate and Meredith in front of the alligator exhibit!

Meredith was hoping to help Dad with the taxes
(and his bottle of Coke...)


Looks like we have another accountant
in the family!

Meredith makes Dad happy when she finds a
few extra deductions!
