St. Louis, IL, IN, OH

We drove by the giant archway of St. Louis just as dawn was thinking about breaking. Traffic was already heavy even though it was 5am or something. We somehow missed seeing the Mississippi river, I guess because of the darkness and traffic.

Illinois and Indiana were two stepping stones getting us closer to our goal: Grandma and Grandpa's house! The terrain was looking more and more like Ohio every hour.

The highlight of this part was stopping off the 71 to see Aunt A. and Uncle K. and meet Cousin Eddie for the first time!

Eddie Likes Mama, But Cries With Papa :(

Sarah Meeting Her Cousin For The First Time

Eddie is a BIG baby. He's taller and thicker than Stephen, even though Stephen is 3-4 months older. Aunt A. says he is a very cerebral and serious baby.

Just before this visit, Aunt A. emailed us to let us know that Cousin Eddie will be featured in his own blog, modeled after ours. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
