He tried to run away from me.
But I snatched him.
And rarely let go.
(Until a diaper change was in order. At which point I handed him over lickety-split.)
Do you blame me?
That’s right. In case you didn’t see the big news over at my buddy Shannon’s, Shannon from Shannanigans brought her east coast posse (aka her husband John and son Gabe) to the Midwest for a little NewlyWoodwards quality time.
I’m the luckiest girl in the world. Because I love this crew.
I tried to show them a little of what we have to offer. Which is mostly John Deere and the River. (The Mississippi River, in case there was any confusion.) And of course a little craziness provided by yours truly.
I didn’t want them to leave. I want them to move near me so we can hang out all the time. I tried to convince them. I even have a house they could buy. 😉
I really am so happy to have met such wonderful friends through this little blog. Shannon and John are the sweetest and funniest folks. And I’m just so darn lucky that they were able to visit us.
Can’t wait to see these folks again. Next time, I’m not sure I’m letting the Gabester go home without me.
Gabe is such a precious munchkin! Glad you guys had such an amazing time!
So, so jealous that you gals (and guys) got a chance to get together! I love all of the pics!
Wait you live near Moline?! I didn’t know you were that close. We were actually planning a family trip to Moline because my grandpa is a big JD fan and used to sell them for a living. We ended up putting it off until next year but I’d love to know some good places to eat or some reasonable places to stay for about 10 people.
So fun! I’m a bit envious. We should started a blogger neighborhood.
Um, either that tractor is really far away in that first pic, or your a lot more smurflike than I originally imagined… SO cute though!
So adorable! It is great to make friends in all sorts of ways.
cuteness.
i love the look on his face when you all are in the face hole thing – what are these crazy adults doing now??
Oh, he is cute! Aren’t meet-ups the most fun?? 🙂
Damn that Shannon! I tried to fit myself in her suitcase, but she said something about needing clothes to change into . Pfft. whatevs.
Isn’t that Gabbers precious? I just want to eat him.
LB
That’s awesome you guys met in real life. And little Gabe is the cutest, isn’t he! I love the veggie picture where he’s looking at the 3 of you. 🙂
Sooooo Jealous. Seriously. Can Shannon buy one of your houses and can you sell the other one to me? I’d like to live near you, too.
