Last week Jack and I took a little road trip and drove upto Des Moines, IA. My sister and her family moved up here the begining of July. We had not seen each other in over a year. The last time she saw Jack he was 3 months old. The whole trip one way took 7 hours. I was very nervous because I have never driven that far by myself led alone with Jack! I compare taking a road trip with a 17 month old to traveling with a dog. They both need to get out to stretch their legs and walk around. Every time we stopped Jack would go over to the grassy area where people were letting their dogs use the bathroom because he wanted to pet them?! It would be like 4 dogs and Jack. We had a nice visit and it was fun to have the kids together. On the way home Jack had an "accident" that resulted in me having to strip him down in the Mc Donalds parking lot and basically give him a sponge bath with a bunch of baby whipes and he rode the rest of the way home in just a diaper so you can imagine what had happened.
Last night Mike let Jack "play" Wii. It was pretty cute so here are some pics. Oh and I realize that Jack looks naked in the right pic. but he is wearing a diaper!

How fun to see your sister! Ryan taught Gio how to play Mario Kart with the steering wheel on our Wii & Gio can't get enough of it. He asks to "play motorcycle" ALL the time...
Hi Mary Jo!! I can't believe you were living here all this time. I used to work in Fullerton at a WaMu on Brea Bl and Harbor. I wonder if we ever passed in the Brea Mall or something without realizing it. It's like a few years ago when I found out that one of my best high school friends had been living in Anaheim and we were even working in the same shopping complex for a whole year, but I didn't find out until she had already moved back to Chico. Bummer. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying Iowa. Let me know what it's like to have seasons again!!
