Hello Peoria

8-26-01: Jessica took a trip on Tuesday to Peoria, IL. She was a star once again on the flight and slept for most of the flight to Chicago and then again on the flight to Peoria. She stayed overnight with Gail and Gabrielle Healy. She visited Gabrielle's school, Peoria Academy and then went home to play with Gabrielle for the rest of the evening. Wednesday, Mommy and Jessica visited Gail at work at Bergners, went to Peoria Academy to pick up Gabrielle and then went to Bloomington for dinner with Colleen, Delaney, McKenna and Greg Davis. Jessica and Mommy stayed in Bloomington and Gail and Gabrielle went home to Peoria. Mommy and Jessica made chile rellenos for the Davis' on Thursday and ran a couple of errands during the day. Thursday evening, Suzy Hwang showed up to spend the weekend with us. Friday, the girls all went shopping during the day and then we all went to Colleen's sister's house for dinner. There were many kids at the BBQ and Jessica had a good time. Saturday, Suzy drove Jessica and Mommy back to Peoria to visit with Suzy's Mom, Nana and Pop Pop Monoson, Barb and Dave Walvoord, and then Saturday night, Jessica had Agatucci's pizza and went out to Canton for a fish fry with all of Mommy's buddies. It was a very full day, but very fun! New tricks this week included the beginning stages of crawling on her knees and making a clicking noise with her tongue.
