Indiana Visit

We had the pleasure of a visit from Jeremy's parents this past week and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Well, almost all of us did. I don't have any photos of Richard because he caught a nasty flu bug and spent much of the time in bed. Hopefully his next visit will go a little better!

One night, they watched the kids and Jeremy surprised me by taking me to see Wicked after dinner at Zachary's. It was SO fun! It was also the first time I had left Olivia to be put down without nursing and she went down fine but was up much of the wee hours of the morning (I think due to getting a cold). It was worth it - what a fun surprise from my thoughtful hubby!


We got to watch the Superbowl with Jeremy's folks which was a treat. We went to Gail and Mike James house (Amanda Burtch's folks) who are also fellow Colts fans and cheered away. We even broke open the Colts pinata that my Aunt Diane had got us a long time ago during halftime. Both girls wore their Colts gear to church that day. Ashton Coffey and Olivia hung out for much of the game. It was a lot of fun, but a disappointing loss for Jeremy!


The girls hanging out - Olivia has mastered the army crawl and parades around the house eating things off the floor, much to my dismay.


Made an outing to Little Farm in Berkeley, which has great views along the way. You get to feed goats and cows, which Connie (a real farmers daughter) enjoyed. Abigail took the second photo of us pretending to have a wild time at the park (except for Daddy).

Also went to a wildlife museum.

This was probably Abigail's highlight. One morning when grandpa felt okay he treated her to a doughnut from the 7-11 down the street. What a treat!

Once they left, all I heard from Abigail the next day was who am I going to play with, what are we doing etc - Grandma does a great job of being Abigail's playmate while she is here. She gets up with her at 6pm to color, lets Abigail boss her around, and even pretends like she is the baby and Abigail is her somewhat deliquent mommy (she wouldn't feed the baby but kept telling her to cry). I am so blessed by wonderful in-laws and I never want to see them go (they are way too helpful)! Thanks for the visit Smiths!!
