Luke was so happy he got to celebrate his Uncle Nate's birthday with him...

Thanks for coming to Michigan Uncle Nate!

Uncle Nate flew in from San Fransisco and Debbie came all the way from Seattle to meet little Luke, AND cheer for the Hawkeyes!!!!!

FINALLY....I got to meet all my uncles!

CHEERS! So good to have the family all together

We recruited our great friend Mike Rozewicz to becoming an Iowa Fan...this is the year!

We had a great weekend with our family in town for the Iowa vs. Michigan State football game...How about those Hawks!?!?!?!?! It was such a great game for us Hawk fans, and I am so thankful that my brother Nate got to witness another victory. He flew in from San Fransisco for the weekend to meet little Luke and cheer the Hawks onto victory.

The weekend consisted of great people, lots of food & drinks, laughter, more drinks, hawkeye victory, family pictures, lots of "Luke lovin", and its always ends with a sad to say good-bye to everyone. We don't get everyone together all that often, it's just a few times a year that all of us can be together, although we always make the most of it, it is still hard to see everyone leave.
