This is Peter, realizing the vastness of Illinois farmland:) I love these pictures! This field is in my family's backyard.
The trip home was a blast! I will have more pictures soon. Peter met my fun family, saw THE Farmer City, took a walking tour (in the rain) of Bellflower and my old paper routes, played lots of games, chatted with my parents, met several relatives, and enjoyed the wind and quiet of downstate Illinois.
It is quiet back home in Illinois. I found the trip to be refreshing and fun. The kids are growing like weeds, and it was so fun for them to meet and enjoy hangin' with Peter.

Gotta run for now, but we'll be around!
We were so glad for your visit!!!! Can't wait to see you again sometime.
ReplyDeleteI just read your comment on our family blog. So, you liked the bonbons? Really Peter, we didn't mean to kill you with them.:) Janessa has the recipe and she said she'll post it soon. I'll warn you that the recipe is highly addicting. But of course you already knew that.
ReplyDeleteDo you miss the wide open spaces??
I miss the wide open spaces and the wind, and you guys too. I really enjoyed getting to know you all and relaxing for a few days in addition to the bonbons. I would like to visit later on and see what it is like when stuff is growing or when you are all getting snowed in. Maybe some of you guys can come out with your parents to see little Jeremy or Jessica Jr. See you sooner or later!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a marvelous visit. I'm so happy, but then, of course, I know you would. With a family like yours, you can't help but have a wonderful and memorable experience. Wow, Illinois is more wide open and vast than I knew!!
ReplyDeleteI like everything in the poem but the part where I said...
ReplyDeleteI finally met him at our little SPOT.. It just sounds stupid! Oh well Glad you liked it
Jonah...the whole poem is adorable!:-) You know how much I hate it when you use the word, "stupid" about yourself, right?
ReplyDeleteYou have a fun gift, lady. I love the poem, and I know that my boy does too.
Love you bunches!
