Have Suitcase, Will Travel

This is just to inform you all that I'll be taking a little blogging break as we spend some time traveling to see family.  Today we are flying to Chicago (sadly, Leigh is out of town this weekend) to visit my cousin, Dan, his beautiful wife, Caroline, and their little ones, Asher, who is four, and Samara, who was born just a few months after Sara.  Grandma Lou will be there, along with my parents, and Melissa & Adam.  We're looking forward to a weekend full of laughter, adventure, and memories.  On Monday, Steve will fly back to Dallas because he has to return to work (which isn't so hard to swallow when I think about this time last year when he was without employment).  Sara and I will pack our things into Mom and Todd's car, drive back from Chicago to Minneapolis with them, and then spend the rest of the week hanging around MN.  There's no telling what fun the week will hold!  Until then, stay cool and dry (I think that's a pretty fair blanket statement for most of the country right now, right?!). xoxo
