Journey Home

Today we made the long journey home to Champaign, Illinois. It was a loooong journey. It took 12 hours to drive home, a result of having a baby and bad snowy weather! We started the day in Minnesota, waking up to some snow, which was quite nice.

Along the way to Illinois, we picked up Steve's mom at the McDonald's in Rochelle, Illinois. Vicki had spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Shelley, Amie, Doug, and Colin and Lexi. Shelley (full name is Rochelle, coincidentally!), Steve's sister, dropped her off and then we all had dinner together. It was fun to see Auntie Shelley, and she commented on how big Benjamin is now and how he looks like a baby instead of a newborn.

We all (my Mom, me, Steve, Benjamin, and Vicki - a full car!) made it home safely, thank goodness!
