We're back!

Well, we made it back from Illinois without too much crying on the plane. I mean, we cried a little...but it's Makayla we were worried about. She cried a little more than we did. For the most part, she was SO good though. On the flight out there, she just charmed everyone around her, and they all thought she was a doll. On the way back, not so much. She was still cute of course, but not so charming. She was good for most of the almost 3 hour flight. The last 45 minutes were a bit rough. But I guess we shouldn't complain, cause it could have definitely been much much worse. Like tonight. She's trying to get back to her normal routine, and having a bit of a rough time with it. Hopefully it won't take too long. She just needs mom to get off the computer and put her to bed!

We had a great time out there, got to visit alot of family, and see how Cassie was doing with her chemo/radiation and all that. It was a really good trip. Except for one thing. I was sick as a dog for most of it. I had a cold going out there and hoped it would be over for the most part by the time we got there. It lasted almost till we came home. And then Saturday night, I got incredibly sick to my stomach. Give me a break! No one else got sick though, so I am glad for that. But it was just aweful. There's really nothing worse than feeling like you need to sit next to the toilet for hours at a time.
But anyway... I'll stop talking about how sick I was, and put some pics on here.















This is Makayla and her Grandma Nail. Jason's mom. She loved her grandma. And especially loved playing with her fun refridgerator magnets.

This is at Jason's grandma's house, out in the middle of a bunch of corn fields. It is so quiet and pretty out there.
I mean really, how pretty is that.

Cousin Landon, who had a blast with Makayla. He's not the baby of the family any more!

Sounds like a great trip. Isn't that a nice, peaceful feeling to be out in the middle of nowhere for awhile. That's nice.

Hope everything is going well for Jason's fam.
