October visit to Mt. Olive

We went to Mt. Olive, Illinois, the third weekend in October to visit Tim's family. Among other things we had some family pictures taken by Grandma Karen's niece, Jamie, at the old Lueker farm. Thank you so much for coming up to take pictures for us!Grandpa and Grandma walking with all 4 grandkidsMy 3 kiddos with Grandpa and GrandmaG with Grandma and GrandpaGruvis - 18 monthsMy 3 kiddos with Uncle Chuck and Aunt Julie Missy K with her Godparents, Aunt Julie and Uncle ChuckReagan insisted on having this picture taken with Uncle Chuck.

It was great to see them and especially their kids (although Miles seems to have managed to stay out of all my pictures). Lily is a hoot! She is about 3 months younger than Jackson but she smiles and laughs basically everytime you glance her direction. What a total little doll!!! :)Andy opened his own business this year and he brought both Karen and I a flower he had created. How cool are these? Thanks so much Andy! :)Aunt Julie and her little buddy GSliding has got to be one of the best things in the world!!! :)The daddies had a good time playing together too. I seriously need a picture of them swinging together as kids! :)Thank you Andy and Angie for driving up to see us Sunday morning!

We did see Nonna while we were in town as well and while we managed to take some video at her house we somehow missed taking any still shots. Oops!
