We took our inaugural minivan road trip up north so that we could visit family and friends in West Michigan and Chicago. We appreciated the smooth ride, all the space to move around, sleep and carry presents, and of course the DVD player. We were able to see Jane VanderMeer and the boys, the Nydams and the Spykermans. Lotte, Lauren and Wesley were all born within 7 weeks! Again, I cannot believe I didn't get a photo of any of the big kids :( Sorry, Jonah, TJ, Elsie, Jess, Jordan and Simon...
Then we moved on to Chicago and saw the Burgess' and the Penningtons. Simon was in his glory to be with his big cousin Eliot and to also play with Auden & Abi. Simon & Eliot had their first sleep over in Eliot's bed and they actually slept! Favorite quote from Eliot to Wesley, "Goodnight little Dragon Baby" (note the wings on W).
It was mixed emotions for us to be sure. We're so sure that it was right for us to make the move to Little Rock, but we surely miss being so close to family and friends.
