Katie spent February resting up and healing from the ordeal of Theo’s birth thanks to a ton of help from many family and friends. (Couldn’t have done it with out you all!) By the first of March, it was time to begin the long trip back to Africa. First stop: the Midwest, to visit friends and family in Chicago and MadisonWe were delighted to be able to see so many friends and family during our way-too-brief stay (and our
apologies to those whom we weren’t able to see!). Rich’s entire clan came to town (but for brother-in-law Parker – we missed you!) and we enjoyed the Brookfield Zoo and seemingly endless food. In Madison, we spent time in our old neighborhood and visited our house, which is being well cared for by the couple renting it. We missed the snowiest winter in recent Madison history – more than 100 inches this year!
Ian wasn’t sure he’d remember his old Madison buddies, but all fears of that were quickly dashed when he instantly took off to play with Olivia, Martin, Maria, and other friends.
