A quick trip "home."

Steve has known for a while that these last two weeks would be really busy for him as his Unit was having a big inspection. So, I thought what better time to take Isabella and Jack up to Indiana to see their Poppy, Nana, Great Nana, cousins, etc. I wasn't sure how well the airplane trip would go with just me and the two kids, but they were PERFECT. Jack slept the whole way and Isabella played with her little Disney characters, read books and colored. I was so proud of them!

I was looking forward to some cooler temperatures, but after living in the South for several years I think my blood as thinned out a bit. It was COLD! There were snow showers the last couple of days, but not enough to make snowmen. Unfortunately both kids came down with colds so they weren't able to play in it.

Isabella had a blast playing with her cousins Lydia and Lauren. We were able to celebrate Lauren's 1st birthday, as well as my birthday which comes in a couple of days (be sure to check back in the next couple of weeks to see the awesome gift Steve got me for my birthday!).

Now to unpack all the bags...
