This is Peter, realizing the vastness of Illinois farmland:) I love these pictures!

This field is in my family's backyard.
The trip home was a blast! I will have more pictures soon. Peter met my fun family, saw THE Farmer City, took a walking tour (in the rain) of Bellflower and my old paper routes, played lots of games, chatted with my parents, met several relatives, and enjoyed the wind and quiet of downstate Illinois.
It is quiet back home in Illinois. I found the trip to be refreshing and fun. The kids are growing like weeds, and it was so fun for them to meet and enjoy hangin' with Peter.

Gotta run for now, but we'll be around!

Finally!

Yep, I do now have some more pictures of Julie 'n Pete:-) We both seem to keep busy with our various Bible studies, work, and activities. We also spend a lot of time getting to know each other more. It's legislative season for Pete in legal, and it's conference season for me.

Here we are up to no good:) I think perhaps he was planning to tickle me, and I was planning the escape...
