First Trip

Hi All -

We have decided to take a small trip - to a BIG place - the Wisconsin Dells! We are leaving tomorrow and it will be Jonathan's first big trip away from home. He has been to Craig's parents' home in Iowa a few times, but nothing like this. We are staying at a "lovely" hotel that Luke and Marie affectionately refer to as "Candyland" because it is decorated with sweet treats and has lollypops to float on in the pool. What more could you ask for??

This is the first week since Jonathan has been home from the hospital that I have not taken him to a doctor appointment. Hallelujiah! It is a milestone of sorts and I am very thankful. He, and our family, have come a longgggg way. I wasn't sure how this summer was going to work out for us, but it has been wonderful. Jonathan is a pretty agreeable little guy - he goes with us to soccer and tball and a variety of camps and swimming when it is not too hot. He smiles all the time and is starting to make little "cooing" baby sounds.

So, we are off - I'll let you know how it goes.

Love, Jill
