During late September and October, Dawn and I had the chance to return home to visit our families and attend the wedding of Dawn's sister Ruth and her fiance (now husband!) Hector. It was a beautiful wedding, and we were honored to both be part of the bridal party, Dawn as Matron of Honor, and me as a groomsman. There was even a rainbow after a brief rain shower on the way from the wedding to the reception!
We also enjoyed spending time with friends in and around Eugene, Oregon, and I had the chance to visit some good friends in Austin, Texas for a day or two, including my best friend during my elementary school years, Mark.
Dawn and I also embarked upon our "Grandmothers Tour 2009" and enjoyed spending time with each of our grandmas and our extended family. At the end of our 9 day "tour", we had been from Michigan to Chicago to Alabama and back again, with over 1500 miles driven! We also enjoyed a fun afternoon and late lunch with my aunt, uncle, and cousins, who all converged on the Lansing area for a great get together. Thanks to all the aunts and uncles who hosted us overnight on our trip, and to our friends in Eugene and Austin for providing a place to stay during our visits!!
Finally, we began planning in earnest for our new arrival, with shopping for baby items and strategizing on what we would need and wouldn't need over in Israel. Many thanks to our parents, especially Dawn's mother, for her tireless efforts on our behalf to help prepare us for our new adventure! Besides the USA, another country will be heard from along about April 2010 when our new bundle of joy arrives!
