Alexa's Last Day in Iowa

The kids made Alexa a great good bye book.   Alex was very gracious and said she wanted to say a few words. She told the class (who had mostly left for recess by the time she stood up to speak) that this "really meant a lot to her and when she got lonely she would look at the book."  It was SOO cute!!! We brought red and green oreos as a good bye treat.

Chicago Christmas Festival with Gwennie and Hannah!

It was on this ride that I realized I was afraid of heights! The girls had no fear and were rocking and rolling and I started sweating something awful!!!!  I mean truly feeling sick.  I tried to keep it together but I was scared out of my mind!!
