We made it to Springfield for Conference

After our 2.5 days on the road, we arrived in Springfield, Missouri for Conference. It had been a tiring 2.5 days for the kids (and for the adults) and so we were fearful of a week full of meltdowns. While we had our fair share of meltdowns, the kids hung in there and had a pretty good week. It certainly helped that Gramma and Grandad Rogers, Gramma Camenga, Uncle Andrew and Aunt Kristin, Aunt Faith, and Uncle Rick and Aunt Grace were all there. Besides all of the Grandparents, Uncles, and Aunts, all of the cousins were there. Their collective presence made the week easier and more blessed than it would have otherwise been.

Here the kids are doing that which they needed to do more of
Day one, walking to dinner with Gramma Rogers
Jonah admiring a cool bug
Eve and Cate dazed in the nursery
Jonah chillin' in the nursery
Cousin Elisa sporting an Uncle Johnmark 'do
Uncle Andrew and Eve enjoying some Drummer Hoff
Could they be any sweeter?
I promise, he's just tickling her
Cate with goat at the Springfield Zoo
Eve reluctantly with goat
Jonah with goat
I just thought this was a pretty scene
The most active tiger I've ever seen not on TV
Jonah and Giraffe
"MISTER M-I-I-I-K-E!!!"
Cate, late in the week
Eve, in a normal pose
Jonah with saw
Photographic evidence of the aforementioned presence of all of the cousins
The "whole" family...sorry Grampa Camenga couldn't be there
