It’s been a little silent around here this week because we’ve been on a little adventure!
The hubby had a couple of residency interviews in Iowa this week, so we headed out with him!
The trip was quick and packed full, but the boys were thrilled by the littlest things…
Obviously, there was swimming. These boys are a couple of fish.
We don’t do hotels much – can you tell?!
Bedtime story with Daddy…
and a little homeschool in the hotel. Apparently, everything seems new when you’re at a hotel!
While the hubby was interviewing one day, the boys and I were able to visit his grandparents!
Such fun for the boys to see them! {Little J had never met them and Big J wasn’t even two the last time he saw them!} They were fascinated with Great-Grandpa’s marble collection and wood carvings!
And there was one more thing that put big smiles on ALL of our faces…
Oh yes, we did.
We ate {chicken nuggets}, drank {lemonade & a peppermint chocolate chip shake} and were very merry…
Chick-fil-A is the key to happiness. Yes it is.
Interviews went well, we had lots of family time and the trip was a success!
We also had a fabulous Thanksgiving and day after, but those pics can wait for tomorrow!
For now, I’m going to get back into the swing of things at home – and help Little J get better from an eye infection, ear infection and strep throat! He is one tough guy!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Can’t wait to hear the verdict of where you guys end up. 🙂
DesMoines would be a great place for a Residency! Especially that Urbandale area…and close to Chic-fil-A!!! LOVED your pics! Good luck and can’t wait to hear how things went!
Poor Little J! Who, by the way, isn’t so little any more! Ahk!
poor little man!! 🙁 Hope he’s feeling better! And did you hear about Chic-fil-a opening (today) in Omaha? I think they’ve been there in the Mutual Trust building but not to the public (that’s what I’ve heard). 😀
Hi there! I’m new to your blog, but I enjoyed your photos! 🙂 We are also fans of Chik-Fil-A around here…nothing like their chicken nuggets and lemonade. 🙂 Didn’t realize their holidays shakes were here yet, now I’m going to have to (yep, HAVE to, lol) go get one of those peppermint-chocolate chip shakes! 😀
Hope your wee one feels better soon, and I look forward to reading more of your blog…

Looks like an awesome mini-vacation. I love how excited kids get over the littlest things.
NOOOOOO! Chik-fil-a!?!?!?! Without me!?!?!?!
Poor Little J! Glad the trip was great! We don’t have a Chick-fil-a, jealous!!
As sad as I am that Little J has been sick (I feel for him….I’ve got an ear infection right now and feel pretty icky), I’m happy that y’all had such a great time together! Kiddo would LOVE to do school in a hotel! 🙂
