This past week, the kids and I stayed at my mom and dad's in Iowa while Jeritt traveled for work. We hadn't been there since November, so it was great to spend time with my grandparents, as well as cousins, aunts, and even Uncle Sam and Brooke, who came to visit for a few days. Spring may have technically arrived, but we didn't see much of it. However, there was one nice day when we spent time outside, and Jack discovered his love of mud puddles. Just like his sister, he's not afraid to get dirty!
