It turns out, I love Iowa! I didn't realize that all my Siefker cousins would be there. Plus Grama and Grampa Siefker - and even Corby! Can you even believe it? It took a while to get there (ok, a long while), but it was worth it! I didn't even mind the car trip that much; I got to watch a movie, play with Daddy's iPod, draw pretend roller coasters in the frost on the windows, sing songs...and then sleep. That really makes the time zoom by!
Here are my favorite things about Iowa:
My cousins all in the same place at the same time. It sure was fun to play with all of them! One loved to tickle me, another loved to play hide & go seek (except sometimes I think he forgot to come find me), another one let me play the video games with him. Each time I went from room to room, there was always someone to talk to or play with. It was so much fun!
There was snow everywhere! I loved that part! Although it was so cold that I could hardly even breathe. But the moon was rising (they said it was a blue moon, but it looked yellowish white to me) and it made the snow and ice sparkle, especially on the rivers. Very pretty!
They had a wonderful breakfast that included not only my everyday breakfast foods (oatmeal with granola on top and a bagel), but they had grapes and bacon!! Two of my favorite foods! It was wonderful!
I think my favoritest thing of all was when we went to bed at night. Dad, Mom, E2 and me all slept in the same bed. It was heaven! I felt so safe and cozy. I drifted off to sleep holding E2's hand and Daddy right beside me. I wish Mommy & Daddy would let me sleep with them EVERY night. Well, maybe not. Daddy makes some funny noises when he sleeps and that lil baby sister of mine wakes up awfully early. I think I'll stick to my own bed at home, but it sure was a great part of our trip to Iowa.
The best part of all is that God was with us in Iowa, too. You know how I know that? Because he's omnipresent - which means he is all places all the time. I learned that in my Wednesday Warrior class. I'm getting so smart. But not THAT smart. God is always smarter. He knows everything (that's called omniscient in case you didn't know). He's omnipotent too, which means he is the most powerful thing in the whole entire world - even the whole Earth! And since he is always with me, I can always be brave. It is sometimes hard to remember that, especially when I'm watching Snow White or the 3rd Ice Age movie. That witch and those dinosaurs (especially that Spinosaurus at the end) scare me. Mommy taught me a great trick, though. You can hide behind a pillow during the scary parts. She said she did that a LOT when she was a little girl like me.
I hope everyone has a wonderful new year. It is 2010 now, ya know! I had to change it on my calendar (which I got for Christmas and I LOVE to change everyday - thanks Grama Pollard!!).
Love to all,
