Iowa

We made it to Iowa. We got up at 4am on Wed. and headed out. Both girls were wide awake for most of the trip. Laurelei took a quick nap each time we took off, which was nice, but that was it. The girls were well behaved and did well on the flights and our layover. We are trying to get caught up on sleep and enjoying our time with family and friends. It has been fun to watch CJ remember everyone and even ask about people we haven't seen yet. Both the girls have grown quite a bit since we've been to Iowa, so everyone is surprised at how big they have gotten. CJ is in 4T pants/shorts! Her shirt size is still 2T/3T so it is apparent she has gotten long legs from her daddy.
Eric's brother is back in the USA after being gone for almost 2yrs to Iraq. Next Wed. there is a welcome home for the troops that we plan on attending. Every one's spirits are lifted with him back home safe and sound.
I'll try and take pictures and update often.
