Father's Day & Mom turns 31

We were in Albia this weekend for Fathers' Day and my birthday. We had a wonderful lunch mom & I made (tenderloins, potatoes, pasta salad, and birthday cake and ice cream).

William had a great time being entertained by Sutton (10) & Rowan (6) as they caught toads (and showed them to William) and built a fort for their army guys (with the handy skills of their Dad [Rob] and Uncle Dave).
William got to see Great Grandma Frances and Great Aunt Lue again. Lue enjoyed meeting us again (as she does every time) and by the time we left everyone in the building should know William's name, birth weight, and age as we had to repeat it so many times for her. The sad thing is she is more coherent than Grandma anymore. Grandma doesn't speak much and when she does, she doesn't make much sense, like she's talking gibberish most of the time. She's such a blessing to us, and she's had a wonderful 95 years, but I think time has definitely caught up with her.
When we got home William passed out, he would barely wake to eat. I guess he had lots of fun!
