Trip to Hoosierland: The Weekend

Friday night, my brother Matthew and my sister-in-law Carrie came over for dinner. Lily and I got to spend some time with my nieces' Cassidy and Kaitlyn.

On Saturday night, we did the "Pizza Train". This trains picks you up in Noblesville and drops you off in Tipton. There is a pizza joint called, Pizza King. Apparently, they run the train on Saturday nights during the warmer months. It was quite a popular event. It was fun to ride a train and eat yummie pizza.

At Pizza King. They gave the kids balloons. This was Lily's favorite part of the trip.

Trip to Hoosierland: The First Couple of Days

Lily and I are back in Colorado. It was a fun trip to Indiana to see the family. Lily really enjoyed spending time with her Nana and Babba and her aunties and uncles. I enjoyed it immensely and was sad to leave. I was quite happy to get back to my husband though. I missed him lots. (I also missed the low humidity and fresh nights of Colorado. However, the weather in Indy was quite nice save Hurricane Ike's appearance as a Depression through Indiana.)

On Wednesday, we went driving around Indy for a reminiscing trip. My sisters, Christie and Bonnie took me to my old house (one I lived in from about age 3 to 6ish). We also saw my old high school and my Nana and Papa's old house.

My old house! I remembered the yard being much much bigger. Funny how big things are when you are a child and when you go back to see it as an adult, it's a bit different. My bedroom was the window on the far left.

After having lunch with my Dad on Thursday, the sisters and I took Lily out for an ice cream and Handles.

Lily's Babba is one of her most favorite people. This was the scene most nights after dinner. She almost never cuddles with us on the couch at home.

While Lily Sleeps...

Lily and I are in Indiana this week. We will be back to CO on Tuesday. Sorry for no posts, I don't seem to use the computer much while I'm here. I've been using my time to spend with the fam.
I do have some pictures and will upload and share those when we return.
Miss you husband!! See you soon!

1st Day of "School" aka MMO

Today, Lily had her first day of "school". It's actually a Mom's Morning Out. She'll be going each Friday for 3 hours. I must admit, I was a bit nervous and sad to drop her off, but she did well and it will be a good experience for her. The teachers told us that Lily had a few sad moments and she kept looking for us, but I know that will get better.

Here is Lily walking up to the school with her Daddy..

Nervous....

To calm my nerves, David took me to a coffeehouse to sit and chat for awhile and we had fun...

Then David took me out to lunch at Salsa Brava. This is the 1st time we have had a meal just the two of us in oh so long.

We snuck (sneaked?) in at the end of school and got a picture of her playing outside.

Currently, Lily is napping after a big morning, I think I may do the same!

Curls and Cookies

I love after Lily gets a bath as her hair is so curly afterward. David has very very curly hair and mine is wavy, so she was bound to get a bit of curl. It does flatten out after sleeping though.

David made these cookies inspired by Amy. They are quite nummy. However, I do not like the extra salt sprinkles on the cookies. My palate is quite sensitive to salt. I almost never salt my food. I tend to only use salt when it's called for in a recipe. However, if you try this recipe, I would at least salt one to see if you like it. David really enjoyed the added salt.
