The Iowa Children’s Museum sponsored a great open-ended play party downtown yesterday. As you can see, it was totally our cup of tea!

Iowa City and Coralville Public Libraries
Posted in Elizabeth, Iowa, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Aug 16th, 2017
In two weeks, we’ve been to the library almost a dozen times. Both of the city libraries around here are just so great! The Iowa City summer reading program is amazing, with daily events at the library (last week, the kids watched the Lego Batman movie on Monday and made veggie pizzas on Friday) and […]
With Derek out of town all week, we’ve been trying to keep ourselves busy and distracted. So today we drove an hour east to Davenport to meet up with Leah and her kids for the day! She had met Tommy once or twice as a baby, but we haven’t lived in the same state since […]
