The Vansmithstrand Festival

Dad, Mike, & Mom


Ali & I went to Seattle this past weekend for the long awaited Vansmithstrand Festival. We had a great time seeing everyone and celebrating with Mike, Jess, & Lucy. Lucy has changed so much from our 1st visit with her in February. She seemed to really take to Ali on this visit (or she just really loved her jewelry). Mike & Jess looked amazing & it was great to see all of our friends & family!!!!

It's been a while...

Hello to all of our blogging friends...sorry it has been a while, but lots has been happening in the past month.

We headed down to Atlanta for Jill Davidson's sorority-sister-filled wedding the last weekend in September. It was so great to see all of the girls and Jill looked amazing!

The weekend after was Juile's baby shower in DC...waiting to get pictures from Karen because my camera wasn't working.

I also headed up to Boston for a work conference and was able to spend some time with some good Principal friends! Below is me with Jessica Henricksen from Des Moines.
