Missouri

Daniel's parents went to Alaska a few weeks ago, and very generously offered my family the use their house while they were gone (thanks Richard and Debbie!). Daniel and I met my parents and my brother's family in mid-Missouri for a few days of relaxing, swimming, playing on the farm, mini-golf, Central Dairy, outlet mall shopping, and more. We also got to catch up with Daniel's college roommate, Dan (whose wife and little girl I hadn't met), and Grandma Margie (who hadn't met Timmy).

Here are a few of the pictures. I'll link to my brother's later. They are better, I'm sure, and he took more, I'm sure. I don't take as many pictures with a baby in my arms, I've discovered!

Fresh Texas Peaches from Hamm's, cooked up with brown sugar, served over (gluten-free!) pancakes. Oh. my.
