Weekend in Iowa

This past weekend we went to Iowa to visit my parents and grandmas. My dad hadn't met Olivia yet so we wanted to make sure that he would get to see her before she got too big. We had a really good trip. We left on Thursday night after 9 PM and arrived at my parents around 3 AM. It was an exhausting way to travel, but it did make it a lot easier traveling with the kids asleep rather than awake.

 
Friday we slept in late to catch up on sleep from the night before, and then just hung out around my parents' house. It was a really relaxing time. I don't think that Will played with any of the toys we brought the entire time we were at their house, but he had a great time playing with the vacuum cleaner and lawn mower!

On Saturday we went to Sigourney and met my Grandma O'Rourke for lunch at the Pizza Ranch and she got the meet her newest great-granddaughter. Will had fun running around the restaurant with another little girl after the lunch crowd had mostly cleared out. After lunch we went over to my grandma's apartment to visit.

Sunday afternoon after Will's nap we headed over to my Grandma Hayes' farm to visit. She was babysitting my cousins Lily and Robbie for the weekend while their parents were in St. Louis for the weekend. They played really well with Will, and I think all the kids had fun playing together.

On Monday Rob got word that he was being offered a position at MDI Achieve. This was such welcome news as Rob has been looking for a job for almost nine months. So we decided to go out to eat at Pizza Ranch again to celebrate the good news!
