Happy Memorial Day! Despite the cold, rainy weather, we had a great holiday weekend in Des Moines. We left on Friday morning, and stayed with our good friend, Sara, at her beautiful new house! She was a fantastic hostess, greeting the kids with gifts (she won Ella over quickly!). On Saturday afternoon, Grandma and Papa C. came down to have lunch with us and then drove the kids back to their house for the night, which allowed us to meet up with more college friends for a night on the town. Ella and Jack had a wonderful, albeit short, visit at Grandma and Papa's, getting to spend time with Great Grandma and Grandpa P., and on Sunday we met them in Ames for the hand-off and to visit Reiman Gardens. We ended up getting home late last night, and spent today running errands and taking it easy.

| Apparently Jack was amused by the story Ella was reading to him. |
 |
| Look how he watches her. Oh, the things she'll teach him... |
 |
| At least she didn't pee in it. |
 |
| Sara welcomed us with thoughtful gifts, what a great hostess! |
 |
| Jack made himself at home immediately. |
 |
| Grandma C. easily entertained Jack with his stuffed zebra. |

| Ella was fascinated by the butterflies! |
 |
| Jack is getting close to sitting up! |
 |
| My friend, Amy, stopped by for a visit while she was in town! |
 |
| I'm not sure who is more excited by this new toy! |
