Its been so long since I've wrote anything and so much has happened that I actually needed to look at a calendar to figure out what we've done. I can't believe how fast these last three weeks have gone by.
On the 14th we went with Daniel's parents and our niece Marley to Brown County to see Daniel's mom's side of the family. We were only there for dinner, but it was fun to see Daniel's uncles aunts and cousins and the next generation that is starting to grow. (And it was really fun to eat the ribs that Daniel's uncle made for everyone.) JoAnn being her shy self and not really knowing anyone there spent the whole time playing with Marley. Here Marley is showing her DS to Jo. I thought it looked pretty funny with the two of the huddled by themselves in the corner hunched over the DS.
The following Tuesday we made a trip up to Warsaw to see Matt and Britt and a few other people. We just went up for one night, but I have always liked the drive between Indianapolis and Warsaw. You drive through about 2 hours worth of farms and small town America. If it were longer than that I'm sure I would get tired of it, but it's always a peaceful drive for me. I probably like it even more because of all the memories I have of making that trip just about every weekend during the school year when I was engaged and would drive drive to Indy to see Daniel. There were many times when Britt and I would drive down together to see Matt and Daniel since they both lived in Indy and we always had fun during those drives. Moving on, it was a fun short trip. Daniel managed to meet with one of his friends who is trying to get him to go to seminary at Grace and coach high school basketball with him, play 9 holes of golf with Matt and one of his college coaches, have dinner with a guy about a possible job opportunity in Warsaw, and have breakfast with one of his former professors. I'm not sure how he managed to fit so much into such a short time. What did I do? Pretty much I sat and talked to Britt the whole time. It was great. Her is a picture of JoAnn and Addison who spent the whole time together.
One cute side story here...when we went to Ohio later that week JoAnn pointed to one of my baby pictures and said "Mommy look it's Addison, I want to play with Addison." I'm not sure I saw the resemblance, but JoAnn was convinced it was Addison and not me.
The next Friday, Daniel's sister Kristen and her husband Joel came to Indy for the weekend. Long before I found out they were coming home I had made plans to go to Ohio, but we were able to work it out so we could spend the morning with them. They hadn't had a chance to meet Isaiah so it was fun to introduce him to his aunt and uncle. JoAnn had a blast playing on the tire swing with Uncle Joel too.
This is a random picture I found from sometime in the last few weeks. It seems like the only way I can get the laundry folded without one of the kids unfolding everything lately.
I will pick up here later, right now its time for the little guy to eat.
