Iowa Trip...

Last Friday at 4:15am (yes am!!) we left on our great adventure...to Iowa! Kinsley was wide awake as we left and seemed to really wonder why we were all up in the dark and leaving our house. She quickly found out this was no short trip! Really though, Kinsley was and is a great traveler, and really is with a DVD player and Baby Einstein DVDs! It took us nearly 12 hours to reach our destination, but it was well worth every minute in the car! For the first hour at Papa and Grammy's house Kinsley ran around exploring every room. They have a large two story home, so there are many rooms to check out! She was in heaven...lots of room to run and Papa and Grammy to spoil her! Kinsley loved playing dress up, but she didn't keep the outfits on long! She also loved going up and down the stairs and would drag Grammy along with her!

Our weekend all went so fast as we had a wedding to attend (Ryan performed the wedding ceremony) and people to visit. We also celebrated my Birthday! Yeah...another year older (I'm just thankful that I'm not 30 yet)!!! Grandpa and Nana also came to visit for church and the afternoon! Kinsley got a new little people play set from Grandpa an Nana and loved playing with it, especially the puppy! Kinsley also had a great time playing with Paige and Emma (cousins), she followed them around and they were both so patient and loving to her. On Tuesday we were able to have lunch with Grandma Bert then we went to visit Aunt Elinor. Kinsley played with her stuffed teddy bears and gave them lots of love! It was great seeing family and being able to stay a few days to relax! We really feel like Kinsley had time to spend getting to know everyone which is so important to us! I've included some pictures of our trip!

Well, as of tomorrow I will be 22 weeks! I can't believe we're over half done, the time is flying! While we were in Iowa I really started to feel baby girl moving a lot. It's crazy the difference one week makes! We are now starting to plan the room (trying to pick colors and bedding) and we've started to discuss names. Before we know it she'll be here!!
