Family weekend get-away

Every year, my mom's side of the family travels down to Robinson, Illinois, where my aunt lives on a small lake (coincidentally enough, called West Lake).

Huge shoutout to my wonderful husband, who agreed to stay home with Brenna, while Connor and I joined the rest of the family for this year's trip this past weekend. We didn't want to throw Brenna completely out of her element just as we're trying to get her to eat better.

Though I was only in Robinson for 24 hours total - I had to get back on Sunday for a baby shower - it was beyond relaxing to spend time away from home with my family and play with Connor and my cousins in the lake.
We sure missed having Evan and Brenna there, and I know Evan was ready for us to come home ;) but it was a much-needed break for me!

  4. Found your blog at Kelly's corner prayer request page. What beautiful kidds you have. My daughter has spent many many life threatening days and night at St. John's Intensive Care Unit. they are absolutely awesome. I sometimes joke that it is our home away from home. Being on a first name basis with everyone in the hospital is knida surreal but yet it tends to make the stay a little more bearable. I will continue to pray for your sweeet family
    P.S. I live in Moultrie County and work in Coles County, in fact Robinson (Crawford Co) is one of the counties that I assist with energy assistance, etc.
