Getting there...

You might notice that this particular post has a theme. Josie and a lot of kids. Well, that's what our trip out west seemed to be. After we visited Smiths in St. Louis with 2 kiddos along with other friends with 2 more, I headed up to Wheaton to visit friends and family-- all with babies and young children. From being almost totally isolated from children in NY, Josie soon adjusted and rather liked all the new friends.
