Can you see that we’re a house divided? What I thought was going to be a lazy and relaxing Saturday quickly turned into an action-packed road trip! Grandpa Gene visited and we loaded up and went to Iowa City to visit my sisters. The day was well-documented so I’ll let the photos speak for themselves....
Sweet Sleep
I CANNOT believe it! Every couple of weeks Emerson will sleep through the night a few times, but today is especially grand because everyone slept in! For the first time in over a year I slept soundly through the night without a single interruption until 8am. Even if this is a once a year occurrence, I’m thrilled to know it’s possible! Here’s Emme after a full night of beauty sleep....

In fact, there’s a handful of sites that my scatter brain needs to...
Spirit City Weekend
It’d be crazy to pass up quality family time in Spirit Lake — especially during the summer so this past weekend called for a road trip. We’re still working out the kinks of long car rides, but I find strategic shopping pit-stops are a good way to break it up… even if I still end up singing the Indian Fight song until I lose my voice. In addition to the Rossow Family road warriors, the whole family was home. We tried to make the most of a quick weekend getaway and had a great time exploring Okoboji with our cousins and relaxing at home with my Aunt and Uncle. The...
