Springfield!

Where have we been for the last couple of weeks? We've been all over the country. Kaia and Evie Lu stayed home while I went to South Carolina and then we all packed up and headed to Illinois to be a part of Jody and Leanne's wedding. (Evie is thrilled to have a new aunt!) It will take us a while to show you all the cool stuff, so keep checking back over the next few days!

Will and Evangeline at Abraham Lincoln's house. Who is that on the post?


When you go to Springfield you have to check out all the Abraham Lincoln attractions. He lived in Springfield before becoming president and the whole town is all Lincoln all the time. Two days before the wedding we spent the day at The Lincoln Presidential Museum and had a blast.

Will, Evie Lu, and her Uncle Jody with the Lincoln family.


Kaia and Evangeline spent quite a bit of time in a kid's area where there were dress up clothes and games from the era. The gentleman showing Evie how to play the game was a riot. Thankfully Evie Lu didn't take out any other kids as she swung the toy around.

Evie goes old school with a game.


Evie Lu models an outfit I hope is in style when she's 16.


The best part of getting to Springfield was being with family. Evie Lu got to catch up with Grandma Rhonda, Aunt Kathy, Aunt Becky, Cousin Parker, Uncle Jody, and the new additions of Aunt Leanne and her family. It was fantastic.
