Greetings from Kansas!

Hello all, from Great Bend, Kansas. Jenn and I have been in Kansas since Saturday, on a mini-vacation, sans kids and husband. Amazing!  We've been here since Saturday, visiting Abby and Jared, and most importantly... I'm meeting Stella Moon for the first time! Stella is a beautiful, happy little girl. Even more precious than I imagined. We are having a great time, relaxing and enjoying the warm weather and great food.

Meeting my niece for the first time! 

I took some photos of Stella and family. I'll share more of them later, but here is a preview of one of my favorites.

While I've been away....

 Ben has been Mr. Mom. He's been sending me photos of their time together, which I love seeing. It makes the distance seem easier! Before I left, I laid out Mackenna's outfits, including socks, for Ben. Heaven forbid she not match! 

On Saturday night Ben and Pete took the kids out to dinner in the minivan.

Clambake dinner! 

I left Mackenna and Ben a 'gift basket,' and included a kite in it. 

Mackenna doing what she does best, wearing accesories!

Carrying her babies to the door.

Teeth time!

Heading off to daycare today in her camo hat.

More Kansas photos to come!
