Helen's take on The Clean Plate Club

"Visualize whirled peas"? In Helen's case, visualize whipping peas!

We're back!

Hey everyone, we've been in Iowa visiting family. Had a great time - we love you guys! Check out some highlights:

Cousin Chelsea with Helen on the big slide. I think she wants to go down, what do you think?

Everybody knows swinging is more fun with your eyes CLOSED.

Cousin Hunter helping Helen stay upright in the water after a big mouthful of chlorine - that is a yuck face.

Helen sportin' her Olympic wreath. I'm thinking a gold medal in synchronized swimming...?

Hanging and snacking with Uncle Daniel on our last day with the Lynch Family.

Aunt Melissa (my sister) and Helen parking it on the bottom step. Helen's favorite place to sit and read books.


Uncle Adam, Stewart and Helen enjoying the beautiful evening before heading out for The Winding Stairs Festival Fiesta in Traer, Iowa - pork burgers and margaritas, an excellent combination!


The family with Stewart's good friend and classmate, Pete, and his wife, Melanie, at the Class of '83 reunion.

Getting some good lovin' from one of the toms on Grandpa's farm.
