This morning we met my parents, Grandma, and Aunt Vicki at The Lodge in Starved Rock State Park in Utica, IL. It's close to halfway for both of us and the brunch is really nice. But we really like the large room outside the dining room. There is a big stone fireplace, cute shopping, and lots of room to sit a relax, and visit after a eating. For Dane, there is lots of room to run with Daddy and Grandpa following which allows Mama to visit longer.
I got a webcam so now Dane can Skype with his Granparents and Cousins! I also got clothes which is great because it's hard for me to shop with Dane. Aunt Vicki made me a really cute and unique apron. I love the bright colors but she designed it in a handkerchief shape with an empire waist so it's very unique. She is so talented and creative!
It was so special to be with my family today, I miss them so much!

Sounds wonderful! Glad you were able to spend time with family for an early b-day gathering.
P.S. We love Starved Rock State Park.
Happy Birthday. Starved Rock sounds like some place I'd like to visit.
Happy Belated Birthday!! My Dad turned 80 on the 29th. Celeste
