Illinois

Kaitlin took her first airplane trip to Illinois this past weekend with me and my mom. Our first stop was in Assumption, Illinois where Kaitlin met her Great Grandma Stewart (my mom's mom) as well as several other members of the Stewart clan. Great Grandma just celebrated her 98th birthday. I can only imagine how much this world has changed since she was Kaitlin's age! We knew it was going to be cold in Illinois, but we weren't expecting to see snow while we were there! On Saturday, we drove slowly and carefully over to Springfield to visit with the Kidd side of the family. We enjoyed eating Mexican (a Kidd family tradition) and Kaitlin got to meet her cousins Kayla, Josh, Sheila, and Billy for the first time. We wish that other family members had been able to join us, but unfortunately, the bad weather kept them away. Hopefully next time we will be able to stay longer!
