Week Recap!

Ryan's mom, Linda, came to stay with us this week to take care of our little miss while her daycare was closed.  Thanks Linda for taking such good care of Ainsley!  She misses you already!

We went out to dinner Friday night and Ainsley was a ball of energy at dinner!  She wanted to walk around, look at the lobsters, look in our purses, anything but eat!  We had our hands full :)!

Like I said...hands full!  Ainsley is quite the dare devil these days!

Ryan's parents took us to the BEST restaurant!  The Machine Shed!  Totally an Iowa gem!  We loved it!

Hmmm, what shall I order?

Homemade mashed potatoes--yum!

They had the best bread--notice we had two bread baskets!

Ainsley watching a video--she loves to see herself on video!

Our Iowa baby!

After lunch we headed to LeClaire, Iowa to see the American Pickers show store!

I love to meet people on tv (note my previous post about the local weather men)!  I had my speech all prepared for Mike, Frank and Danielle (American Pickers is on the History channel--a great show) and was looking forward to taking our picture with them.  They weren't there...but they have a beautiful store!

Ryan wants to buy a gas pump and change it into a fountain soda dispenser for our basement remodel (scheduled to be compete in 7 years :)!

Happy New Year!
