YEAH!

CONNER PRAIRIE - country fair

Our first fall activity of the year was the Country Fair at Conner Prairie. It goes all weekend and we spent a couple of hours there this morning. We came home with apple cider and carmel apples. Yum!

Our weekend

Friday we finally got the new mini van. It's AWESOME. We have plenty of space now. I can't wait to give everyone rides. On Saturday my friend Shawna and I threw a baby shower for Apryle. It was star wars theme - just adding a little creativity to your typical baby shower. It went great. She got loaded up with gifts and supplies. Here's the cool cake. Afterwards we went to a birthday party for Gabby Chamness. I left my camera in the car, which is a bummer b/c they had the very coolest bounce house and a perfect sponge bob cake made by Katie herself. Nice work. Sunday School started up again today. It was a big deal not only b/c I'll be teaching every Sunday again, but also because Lily started in the 3 year old class. Sniff sniff. I thought she needed a little taste of big kid school since we are delaying (or potentially foregoing altogether) formal preschool. Did she cry? Was she scared?? Not even close...she ran off and had an awesome time. Then we wrapped up today with a Colts win and some errands. The rest of the evening will likely be spent playing the new 3 point shooting game we got for the wii. It's my new favorite - and I have the current high score :)

Visitin' Clare and the whole N.C. crew

We spent a long Labor Day weekend in Jacksonville, NC visiting Joe and Mel and their fam. We stayed at a condo on Top Sail beach. It was so nice to just relax with the family for a few days, swim, cookout, swim some more, walk on the beach etc. Clare is adorable and the girls had big fun playing with the boys.
