Hello from Kansas!

Just a quick update to let you know we are having a great time in Kansas. Tessa is getting to meet lots of her "Kansas family" and I am getting to spend lots of quality time with the kids. Here are a couple photos from the past couple days!

Weekend

Here's some photos from that past week. We are on our own now...Oma flew back to Chicago on Friday. We're having a great weekend so far - we went to the rec center for some pool time this morning and now are packing for our trip to Kansas. The kids and I are spending the week there while John does some traveling for work. We are excited to introduce Tessa to her family back in Kansas!

Isaac and Daddy being silly



Isaac wearing Oma's gloves and scarf (he found these and put them on himself, and said he was going to make "snowballs"!)

Sleepyhead

Here is Tessa in her nightgown...all ready for bed. Can't you just smell that yummy baby smell just by looking at this photo?

Serious stuff

Isaac has been really interested in holding his little sister lately. He takes it really seriously - as you can tell from the photo. It doesn't even seem to bother him when she cries. He just shushes her and tells her to be "happy".
