R&R: Part II

I've been tackling a mean to-do list before I head to Colombia for a little reunion, dose of reality, and a babymoon.
Finishing a recap on our R&R is on that to-do list, as well as an overall note to become a better blogger.

From Tennessee we made our way to the midwest, with a weekend stop in Chicago. We loved spending time in the city, taking in festivals, nice dinners, and a frozen Cubs game. But above all that, we love the people we get to spend our time with.

We had a great time at the Cubs game, with a lot to celebrate, including anniversaries, engagements, and babes.

Our little reunion & celebration weekend {which looked a lot different than last year} came to an end and we made our way to Iowa.

Our time in Iowa always goes by way too fast... with so many people to see, we enjoy all the little reunions, but never feel like we have enough time.

We met new babies,

spent some time with parents-to-be,

We also had the pleasure of finally meeting our handsome new nephew, Hayden.

We celebrated Hayden's baptism, which we were thrilled to be able to attend.

We had a great week with Matt's family that included lots of food, a round of golf, a day trip to Missouri to visit family, and even some shopping for George.

It always seems like for the amount of time between Matt's R&R's, the time itself goes way too fast. Tuesday, June 11th was here before we knew it and we hopped a flight to Chicago together and from there we said goodbye until we reunite in Colombia. It wasn't easy and there may have been some tears, but I am thankful for the time spent and memories made and look so forward to being together in three days.
