Back Home Again in Indiana

We just got back from a busy week in Indiana! The kids and I tagged along with Alex on a business trip. We started the week off by visiting my grandparents! It is crazy to think they are Blake and Claire's GREAT-grandparents!




We also got to see the Myers' family!




The next day, we decided to get a true taste of fall. We headed to Brown County!









We went to WonderLab in Bloomington, and I even got to have lunch with Brittany, a former student!































We spent a few nights in Bloomington at a hotel and stayed at my parents' house the rest of the week. We got pretty lucky until near the end of our trip. Then, the sickness came! It wasn't too bad, thank goodness! We still were able to hang out, go swimming at the hotel that Alex's mom (Liz), Kristen, and Bree were staying at while visiting us, and go to the Indianapolis Children's Museum! If anyone has any tips or tricks about how to not get sick when traveling, I'm all ears...




















































Overall, we had a great trip! We will miss seeing everyone!

San Diego Stuff and Family Visits

Claire is walking! Blake walked really early and, apparently, Claire is doing the same! She is getting so big! Her first birthday is right around the corner! The party planning (nothing big) has begun!













Blake is also getting so big! We have started potty training. It is going to take some time, but he is doing pretty good!















We have done a few new things around San Diego, too! We saw Hullabaloo (a children's musical group), fed the ducks at Lake Miramar, visited the aquarium's shark and sting ray tank, and went on a family canyon hike!



















Auntie Anne and Bob also came to visit! We went out to eat at Pacific Coast Grill and watched the sunset, ate at Hodad's, and had a great time watching Sunday football!











We ran our first official 5K, Purple Stride, for Pancreatic Cancer! Alex's company was a sponsor, so they had a team. Alex and I ran, and Lauren walked with the double stroller. Everyone had a great time!







We are headed to Indiana for a work trip for Alex and visiting family this coming week, so I am sure there will be more pictures to come!
