Ohio!

Jane, Alice, and I took a little trip to my sister Beth's new hometown. They traded in the busy streets of New York for a lot of country. I loved it. I love wide open spaces and gentle rolling hills. This picture doesn't do it justice, it is the view on the way to Smuckers, Cody's new job.

Since Beth and Cody didn't own a car in NYC, they've only purchased one so far, so we got to pick up Cody from work each day. Wednesday we stopped by the cute little smuckers store. Jane slept through the whole visit.

The kids had a blast playing together. Beth has one little boy, Morgan (2), and a little girl on the way. (due April 25th)

Here's Morgan, Alice, and Jane enjoying bath night! Look at all those blondies.

We also had fun checking out some new playgrounds.

And the Akron Zoo. They accepted my Brevard Zoo membership, so I payed only $2 for parking. It was a very cute zoo. Morgan and Jane both loved the penguins.

We discovered Canadian geese really like apples, but so did Jane and Morgan, so the geese didn't get too much. Cody did his best to ration the food.

Jane and the duck pond at Beth and Cody's apartment complex.

Jane and Morgan in front of Beth and Cody's apartment, which was very cute. Nice big rooms.

We also checked out all the play places at McDonald's and Chik-fil-a. Plus Alice decided she is a walker now and practices every chance she can get.

Beth is very excited to be having a little girl and was trying out the bows she was given. Morgan and Alice were very willing models. Jane was too, but once the camera came out, the bow went away.

We had a wonderful time and were sad to leave, but very excited to come home to Daddy. However, our plans were foiled when we showed up to the airport Monday evening only to be told the flights were delayed and I would miss my connection in Atlanta. So we all got back in the van and drove back to Beth and Cody's. Tuesday morning the weather wasn't any better, but the planes were ready. Here are Beth and Jane in the snow outside the airport.

Thanks Beth, Cody, and Morgan for your hospitality. You have a very cute apartment and great location for everything. Good luck with the new baby on the way. We had such a good time. We LOVE you guys!

Love the post and great job rationing the pictures. I always have such a hard time with that and just end up posting everything! We miss you guys so much...I know Morgan does to, although he keeps picking up his toys and saying "my elephant, my cars!" Too funny. Thanks for coming and being such a great help and company. Come back anytime and soon:)
