Is it just me or was this the
longest winter ever?!? Maybe it's because Archer has discovered the outdoors (or "outsiiiiide" as he likes to say) or because we're just so tired of
playing with the same toys in the house... either way, it appears to finally be over.
We've had a busy couple of weeks. My mom was in town for a week to hang out with Archer. Since Eric is taking some time off, they all had a lot of fun in the back yard building one last snowman, playing with lots of sidewalk chalk, and going to the zoo.
Last weekend we went to Iowa City to attend the wedding of one of Eric's fraternity brothers. Grandma and Grandpa Dunlap were excited to have Archer stay with them for the night (the first time Eric and I were away overnight together... yikes!). So, we drove down on Thursday night and headed for Iowa City on Saturday afternoon.
While we were there, we checked out the Bettendorf Family Museum. Archer was slightly obsessed with the toy train set...
On Saturday morning we went to John Deere Commons to play on the tractors. Archer mentioned something about practicing his driving so that he could impress Addison this summer... but, I'm not exactly sure that Travis or Bongo will let him drive anytime soon! :) Check out the video above.
Josh and Stephanie's wedding was beautiful. It was great to see lots of old friends that we don't get to see very often these days. I'm convinced that every third woman is pregnant these days (evidenced by number of lovely bellies I saw just at the wedding alone). It's so exciting to know so many great people who are about to become parents... so fun!
Other than that, life is good. Happy birthday to three of my favorite ladies who have turned 30 in the past month or so... can you believe we're not in our 20s anymore? I guess I have 10 days left, but am pretty comfortable with the idea of getting older. In some ways it makes me feel like finally old enough to have a husband, a house, and a son... although most days I still feel like a kid... do you ever really feel your age?
