DeVore Family: April 2010

We went to Iowa for Easter and were able to visit a lot of friends and family. We had a really great time but did a lot of traveling and were very tired when we got back. Unfortunately, the only family members of Nathan's that we got to see were his uncle Keith, aunt Kim and their girls, Jeremy and Tonya and their little ones, and Melissa. We got to see most of my family, which was awesome because we hadn't seen them since August because the boys were both sick at Thanksgiving when we were supposed to visit last. We also got to see my best friend Mandy and her daughter Charlotte and Nathan's friend Doug, Amanda, and their baby Elyse. We also visited our friend Jason in Waukee. It makes us sad when we get to see everyone and then have to leave but we are so glad we get to see them. We wish we lived closer to our friends and family and hopefully within a year or so we will be back in Peoria and we will be much much closer to everyone. Sadly, I couldn't make it to my friend Rachael's baby shower which was that weekend. I really wanted to meet their new baby Lily! Logistically we couldn't make it work and see everyone we hoped to see. We were in Iowa from Thursday afternoon through Monday morning and felt like we didn't slow down or stop the entire time we were there! It was well worth the energy to see everyone though! Below are a few photos from our trip that Brenda took while at Keith and Kim's house.

I will post the photos we took during our trip later. We didn't take a lot of pictures, but we took some. Then, this past weekend after Cary came to our house after being released from Cardinal Hill Hospital, we took some Easter photos. I will post those soon as well.
