We had a great visit up north to see my father and Sonja in Ohio, and Ryan's grandparents and his mom in Illinois.
We only stayed a day in Ohio, but we had a really great time and Sonja made us two delicious breakfasts! (She even got up at 4 am to do so, which was ridiculously nice!). We got to meet lots of Sonja's (extended) family, and, most importantly, Danielle got to meet her Grandpa Mac. We drove through the night to get to Ohio, and Danielle did great in the car (she slept the whole time :)
The trip to Illinois got cut a little short, as we headed out midmorning last Thursday to beat a huge storm blowing in. Danielle did really well riding in the car, even though she was awake for half the trip. We only had to stop every 3 or 4 hours, and she didn't get very fussy at all.
While we were in Illinois we got to spend time with Ryan's grandparents (Grammy and Grampy) and his mom (Mimi). It was so nice to meet them, and very touching to have 4 generations together. I got to see Grammy's embroidery machine and we made up some bib pockets for Danielle. We also went to Hobby Lobby, and I brought home even more crafts to do! I better go work on Danielle's Halloween costume...here are some pics from the trip.
