Back to Iowa with the Baileys and the Boyers

For the rest of our trip we settled in Reinbeck. We were fortunate to stay at my Grandpa Petersen's house due to unfortunate circumstances. He fell and broke his hip in June and was (and still is) recovering at Parkview Manor. It was very nice to have our own space and spread out.

Here is Elijah playing!
His shirt says "My Aunt Rocks" but obviously you can't see that. Hmmmm, I wonder who bought that for him?

We spent many fun nights with cousin Lauren and she gave Elijah these adorable PJs.

Elijah attended his first parade in Grundy Center at the Felix celebration! Here he is just chillin'. The sirens didn't seem to bother him one bit!

Self portrait but he wasn't looking...he probably was watching the parade!

We joined Jami and her family at the parade. Here we are with her and Annalise.

Elijah with his Papa!

Little Miss Avery, asleep in her swing...

Can you tell that his hair has grown?

Another hug from Lauren!

Daddy and EJ in his Cub pajamas

Lauren being silly!

Hmmmm, I wonder who she gets it from?

Forr some reason mom, Anne, and Skyler didn't really make it in any pictures. Might that have been on purpose? Skyler was working quite a bit so he has an excuse but Anne and mom must have been avoiding the camera!
