Colton Takes Illinois

While Ross was in Italy leading the UCF Vision Trip and apartment hunting for us, Colton and I took a trip to visit my extended family in Illinois.  It was the first time most everyone had met Colton and the first time I had seen some of them in years!  We had a great time and wanted to post some pictures from the trip.  

DISCLAIMER: I'm terrible at taking pictures and did not get some with everyone.  I'm sorry! Whether you're pictured here or not, I loved seeing you!!!

Colton reppin' Geneva, Illinois - the birthplace of his mom and "Big Poppy!"

Colton and I on our walk through Geneva - such a cute town!

Generational picture:  My grandma, dad, me, and Colton all by "our sign."  My family was one of the founding families of Geneva and used to farm lots of land there, including this land - where Moore Park now stands, named in our honor.

After spending a few days in Geneva we headed South to visit the other side of my family.

We made a special visit to introduce Colton to my Great Aunt Margaret - she turns 90 soon!

And, just for good measure, a naked shot of Colton.  I just love those little cheeks!

Thanks for welcoming us everyone!  We loved seeing you and miss you so much already!
