On the road again...next stop: Kansas!

The boys and I joined my family for a reunion on my dad's side in Kansas, where his brother and family live. Poor Brad started out the trip really sick, high fever and just acting not like himself at all. He started feeling better as the week went on, but the first few days were rough.

Do you remember this summer? It was extremely hot and the mid-west had to have been the hottest place to be. I think it was at or near 100 degrees most of the week. We did a lot of lounging and spending quality time together. Almost all of my dad's family was able to join us in Kansas for at least some of the week. It was the first time many got to meet Brad and I got to meet my cousin Kami's kids Kelsey and (at the time very newborn) Kate as well as my cousin Jason's daughter Jayln!

At nine months old, this is how close Brad was to crawling, just couldn't quite get going. Little did I know at the time, but it would take another full month until he could get going!
