Playing Catch-up

So, I am really behind with the blog. Eeek. Sorry.

Currently, I am sitting with Andrea at Pop Century updating it or it would really get out of control in the next week. I am going to do my best, but the pictures on the site are not uploading correctly.

I arrived in Moline on the 19th of December. The state of was in full Rose Bowl frenzy. Dad and I went to see Andrea in Iowa City where we ate sushi. Besides shopping, we went to see the Keokuk Christmas lights and Dad and I drove down to Niota, Illinois one afternoon. The whole Christmas week was relatively warm outside. We even ate the fish we bought on the banks of the Mississippi in Fort Madison.

On Wednesday, Jonathan text me saying he had a surprise. Andrea guessed a puppy first thing. She was right. Jonathan got a Cavachon and named him PIXEL later on.

We started opening presents on Wednesday. I mostly got Dad and Andrea Shutterfly projects, but I also gave them a 3-day pass to Universal. I have a year pass to Universal and I do not want to renew it, so there was no better time to get it for them. ย Tom and Cindy helped me as they were here in May. They let me borrow a few Harry Potter books and their magic wand, so it was neatly presented as a gift.
