Travelin' Man

Well, we made it. We made the 8 hour trek to Lincoln, NE to visit Lisa and we made it there in one piece! On the way there we stopped by Eagan, MN and spent the night with Aunt Jen and Uncle Jerry. Then it was on to Winterset, IA where we paid my grandma a visit. It was so wonderful to see her! She surprised us with dinner at her house. Not just any dinner either, she made ham balls, which is our traditional Christmas dinner. It was fabulous. We had fun playing at her house for a while before hitting the road again and heading on to Lisa's.

This picture has great significance to me. At grandma's Brady got to use the highchair that my mom used growing up and that I used when I was a baby also. It is crazy to think that grandma paid $5 for it and that it has seen three generations of babies in our family! So neat...

This is the old wooden rocking chair that I used to rock in when I was little. As you can see, Brady enjoyed it too! Gram thought his giggle was just precious.

Brady was a trooper in the car and we are having a great time here with Aunt Lisa. This was Brady this morning on this beautiful sunny day. He was all grins today and full of giggles too.

Tonight for dinner we headed to Lazlo's, one of Lisa's favorite local places. It is a micro-brew, so we of course sampled all the homemade brews. Brady spent his time chewing on his favorite giraffe. Tomorrow we head to the Omaha zoo. We can't wait!
