Road Warrior

Sorry for the lack of posts this past week. Eli has been on the road. First, it was an eight-hour trek north to Arlington to visit Great-Grandma Luepke for the first time. Eli was a traveling champ - no meltdowns and a lot of sleeping and talking to toys in the backseat. Great-Grandma Luepke was so excited to finally meet him. And, of course, Eli was enamored with his great-grandma.



We also met up with Great Aunt Diane, Cousin Ann and Eli's second cousins - Brielle and Adria. While they as different as night and day, they were so much fun to be around.



After Minnesota, it was on south to Waterloo to see Grandpa and Grandma Tempel for a few days. Eli also really enjoyed their dog Lilly as you will see from the following video. We have never seen him laugh out loud at a person, animal or toy quite like he did when he saw Lilly.

Afterwards, we traveled south to West Point, Iowa to celebrate Great-Grandpa Fedler's 80th birthday. It was a busy week filled with about 20 hours total in the car, but we had a great time.
