Trip to Iowa







We spent the long Valentine's weekend with Vince, Tracy, Alex, Tori, and new addition, Hudson. As always, we were made to feel very welcome in their beautiful home. We enjoyed seeing the kids reconnect; Alex and Zion entertained each other with backyard snowboarding, movies, and video games while Tori presented choices to Zen, such as, "Do you want to play princesses now?" (to which he always responded enthusiastically, happy that someone was paying attention to him!)

Tracy and Kristin got to take the older kids out to a Maid-Rite stand for food that was absolutely dripping with culinary delight. We also stopped by the Mexican grocery store in town to buy hojas, the corn husks with which we made a big ol' batch of tamales later that night (also dripping with culinary delight).

Hudson is such a cutie, and such a happy little boy. I very much missed our Jakers as I carried him around, fed him and played with him. It's so nice to have both family and friends that FEEL like family. Here are some pictures.
