Visit to Indianapolis

The Thursday before the MLK holiday {which is really only a holiday for Nick, who works at the bank...the rest of us have work/school}, we headed up to visit friends in Indianapolis for the weekend. We had planned to take this trip after Christmas, but it got de-railed, so we rescheduled for MLK weekend because I had to be in Indy for work the following week.

We made the uneventful {always positive!} trip up there on Thursday and stayed the weekend with our friends, the Murphys. The Murphys were so gracious to have us for 4 whole days in their home! They have had a new addition to the family since we moved, so we were so excited to get to meet baby Erin during our visit! She is such a sweet baby, and I can't believe that she was almost 4 months old before I got to meet her! Well worth the wait, though!

Friday morning, Deanna and her two and Nick, me and our two went to Mon.key Joe's. Connor loves Mon.key Joe's, but Carter had never been. He was in heaven. He loved all the bounce houses and warmed up to the slides. Callen, however, may have liked it even more than Carter. There were bouncy areas for 2 and under, but she didn't want any of it. She wanted to be in the big bounce houses with Connor and Carter.

She had no fear...sliding down a medium-ish slide on her own...

...and down the really big one with Dad. Please see the look on her face. She was delighted!

It was really fun, and a great way for the kiddos to get a little energy out on a VERY cold Friday morning. Both of my children were basically asleep while they ate lunch and then slept for about 3 hours.

That night, we had dinner more precious friends, the Habeggers. They made a delicious dinner and we were all able to visit and have the kiddos (all six of them!) play. It was so much fun and so great to see them. It makes me realize how much I really miss our friends in Indy!

We spent the rest of the weekend visiting and catching up and even made it to one of our favorite spots, Cafe Pata.chou. Thanks to the Murphys for hosting us, and the Habeggers for having us to dinner! We had such a wonderful time and miss you all! We can't wait to see you again soon!
