Headed back to Missouri in August

Back at the beginning of the summer, Jeff and I started talking about what we wanted to do for Boone's first birthday. Whether to have it in Canada or Missouri was the big question. We decided that we would just head down to Missouri with Boone so that we could bring the party to all our family instead of having them come to us!

Boone and I headed to Missouri a little earlier than Jeff and enjoyed some family time. We traveled down to near Springfield, MO to visit my Aunt Melba and Uncle Wallace and so they could meet Boone! We had a great visit with them and Boone took right to them as if he had known them since birth.

He was happy as could be!

When we got back to St. Louis, Boone loved hanging out with his uncle John!

Then.. a couple of days later, Jeff flew into town and we headed to Fulton to get ready for the big party!

Here's Boone playing with a toy that Jeff used to ride around on when he was little.

There are tons of great pictures from the birthday party, so that will be it's very own post! We always love going home to Missouri to visit our family and we are blessed that we are able to do it!

Stay tuned for pictures from the party!

Jeff, Em + Boone
