We just returned from a fantastic trip to see family in Nebraska. We were able to spend lots of time with both the Voss clan and the Sperlings, who conveniently live only a half mile apart. We even made it down to Kansas to see my grandmas and attend my cousin's wedding. Sara Voss spoiled us by taking us to the Zoo and serving Valentinos Pizza for dinner. Sara's new puppy, Zoro, let Reagan chase him around nonstop for 3 days. My mom spent a lot of time playing in the backyard with Reagan and Charlize (Reagan's cousin). The three of them played in the sandbox, in the kiddie pool, and in the grass. My mom taught Reagan to smell flowers and Charlize taught him to say some new words. Praise God for beautiful weather, a miracle for Nebraska in late July. I was even able to see my sister, Tonya, who is 6 months pregnant. It was exciting to put my hand on Tonya's stomach and feel the baby kicking. Thanks for cooperating baby Jolly. We miss you all so much. It was hard to leave this time for some reason.
