Howe Holiday Weekend

We drove down to Iowa for a quick visit with the Howes over the weekend. Daddy had to work Sunday and Monday, so we had to make it short. The last time we were at Great Grandma Helen's house, Jillian was non-mobile. It was a whole different world this time! Grandma Helen has lots of pretty stuff to get into, and Jillian was highly curious as usual. I think it is safe to say that Mommy and Daddy were exhausted after the visit!
One of the highlights of the trip included Jillian meeting two of her most faithful blog followers--Great Aunt Diana and Great Uncle Kent, who came all the way from Colorado. She clearly enjoyed them both! Uncle Kent was quite patient as Jillian repeatedly handed him the ads in the weekend paper.

"Here, Uncle Kent, check out these prices!"

"I'm not sure if these are good bargains, what do you think?"

Jillian also managed a bit of snuggle time with Grandpa...

And with Great Grandma Helen...

She even managed to pose (well, sort of) for a 4 generation photo

Aunt Diana thought Jillian was pretty entertaining (and busy!)

Finally, we attempted a family photo. This is as good as it gets with a wiggle worm!
