Our Trip to Illinois

In the beginning of June Philip and I traveled to Illinois to visit my grandfather and attend a family reunion. Taking a very active child on a plane by oneself is really not all that fun.
However, we did enjoy seeing Grandpa (Philip's first time meeting him) and my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, and my cousin's children.

The farmhouse where my father, uncle, brother and sister and I were all born. I lived here until I was about four.


Philip in a cornfield at our family farm. No, he doesn't really have a mohawk, it just looks like that in the picture.


Philip and Teagan (who is a few weeks older than him) hanging out on a blanket on the lawn. Philip isn't a big fan of grass, so this arrangement is great because it creates a playpen area without the walls.
As you can see, Philip and Teagan are *in love* (ha ha ha).
