at a rest stop about halfway through Illinois; no, Gracie's hair did not start out this way today, and yes, the matching Hello Kitty shirts were a huge hit all day
greetings from Iowa (we made it to Davenport tonight; that's Matt ahead of me, and yes, I just held up the camera and hoped for the best—not bad, eh?)







I love the Hello Kitty shirts, too! Good luck with the move and settling in to your new home. :)

Very nice picture of some big trees. Looks like you stopped at a really pretty spot. I miss my granddaughters already. 8(

You re the fun mama ;) Great idea! Hope that the days ahead go just as smoothly as this one looks like it did. Love the post card idea. We miss you!

Love the update. I could just see you and my Jenni passing on I 80 somewhere in Iowa. But they arrived in Yellowstone last night and are headed to Cheyenne today so maybe you'll pass on I-25:) She has their 8 month old and her husband has the lab. Do any of the girls travel with Matt? We use to fight over who got to ride with dad when we moved. Safe travels.

Been thinking of you! Glad to see a post from the road and that you're all okay so far. I think the matching tees were a stroke of genius! And cute to boot!

I love the shot of the road. Funny thing, I did the same picture today. I was taking my picture for July 17th as I was driving to the mountains of Western NC to visit my sister in law. I saw a pretty view of the mountains and I held up my camera to the side window and tried not to take a picture of the car door! :)

I wonder where you stopped in Illinois to get that cute pic of your 'Hello Kitty' girls in the big old trees? I live about halfway through Illinois on US Route 30. I'm assuming you were just off of I 80 about 25 miles south of me.
