Oh the places we will go!

Our little family is heading back to our home state of North Dakota. Since the high hasn't been below the 90's here in Columbia for the past month or so, I am looking forward to those beautiful ND summer evenings. And letting Eli lay around on some real grass. And eating a ton of really delicious burgers. But weather and food are not the main reasons for our excitement. We get to see some of the people we hold most dear to our hearts. And introduce our miracle baby to some of you wonderful people. We wish we could spend a couple months there so we could see everyone we even remotely know... but alas we have limited time. We'll be spending most all our time in Bismarck and Williston with our dear families and will not be making it to the eastern side of the state, sadly. Some of you would like to know our schedule. So here it is for all you folks that care to know where Greg, Heather and Eli will be... July 9 - fly into Bismarck July 10 - spend the day in Buffalo with the GREAT Kasowski grands and spending time at Maelee's grave (since we have a short time here, we aren't able to add anything to this day) July 11 - July 15 - in Bismarck with Greg's parents, Amy and Andrew, Chris and Lilli (visiting from Utah) and some extended Welle family too! We have a lot going on but if you are in the capital city, let us know and we could try to do lunch or a park date! July 16 - head to Williston to be with my parents and my sister's fam/the Lipperts... this is also Greg's only day in Williston. We haven't been there since 2008 so we are ready to drive around to ooh and ahh at all the changes. July 17 - July 18 - in Crosby, ND for this year's Threshing Bee and time with Tysse extended family (if you are in Crosby, by all means, stop by the Bee!). July 19 - Greg drives back down to Bismarck and flies back to Columbia. And we will say "Oh no Daddy, don't go!" over and over again. July 20 - July 25 - Eli and I will be in Williston with my family, helping my parents pack up the house and saying good-bye to Williston. If you are in Williston and want to hold Eli, we'll make sure to do lunch that involves one of my many cravings of local cuisine. July 26 - Drive to Dickinson to see family. July 27 - Eli and I fly out of Bismarck... back to our friends in Columbia that will be anxious to see how big our boy has grown! I'll try post photos of our trip, especially for all you southerners that need to see the beauty of ND in the summer. Now to figuring out how many diapers to pack... -Heather

Heather- only pack enough to get you TO your destination... You can purchase diapers, soap, lotion, etc. when you arrive... save the space! If you don't actually USE all the diapers- they can be given to a church nursery :).

I'll supply diapers while in Williston if I get to hold that sweet baby boy... and hug you! :)
