Miller Time


Today we drove up to Clarinda, Iowa, and back for Jason's grandma's family reunion (her maiden name is Miller so this year's reunion was called "Miller Time"). It was really fun because Grandma Hall showed us her farm that she grew up in and where her school used to be and the country church and the cemetery. And then we went to the reunion at a really fun farm and Joshua and I got to meet everyone since I hadn't been before. Joshua got a little prize for being the youngest Miller in attendance. We couldn't stay as long as we wanted because of all the house craziness, but we were so thrilled to be able to go and had a great time.

The Whole Family

Although we are all here in Las Vegas, our arrival and departure schedules don't all overlap exactly, so we had our family meal today, when we knew everyone was going to be in town and available. We all traveled via the tram to the Treasure Island buffet for a great lunch. It was really nice to have everyone together in one place, as it doesn't happen very often due to everyone's schedules. Afterward, we got together for a family photo.

Technologically Advanced Baby

My grandparents were traveling through the area, so they stopped by to see us. First we had a delicious meal at Jack Stack, and then we came back to our house to hang out for a bit. Grandpa brought his iPad with him. Knowing he was going to be seeing Joshua, Grandpa downloaded an app called The Late Night Book, which was developed by a man from their home town of Cedar Falls, IA. The app is designed for babies and small children. Joshua was very interested in it, and he even interacted with some of the animations. Here he does his best to try to figure out how to make it work.
