The Carlson family gathered in Rockford, IL on Labor Day Weekend to celebrate Lois Carlson's 90th birthday (which actually took place on August 21). All of our family had the good fortune to be there; Sean and James took a road trip with Kim and I. Sarah, Andrew and Henry flew from Boston. Lance and Marti flew up from Atlanta. We missed Chris and Alison, Kevin and Katie and Clayton but we know they were with us in spirit. We were blessed with gorgeous weather. It was a great time of being with family. We celebrated multiple times at such settings as The Stockholm Inn http://www.thestockholminn.com/ (we got one of the Carl Larson rooms this time!), JMK Nippon http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-17490434R-jmk_nippon_rockford-i (my favorite Japanese American restaurant) and the new restaurant at Anderson Gardens http://www.andersongardens.org/. Kim's Mom was the special birthday person but I think all would admit that Henry was dangerously close to stealing the show with his cuteness and winning ways.
