On the road again

We are packing it in to this last week that we are able to travel before being house-bound. After Nick finished up work on Friday afternoon, we hopped into the car and headed to Indiana to celebrate JP's big 3-0!! We arrived late in the evening, but that didn't stop Nick and JP from hanging out and catching up until the wee hours of the morning :-). Just like old times...

Saturday morning came earlier for JP than for Nick, who woke up with the sun (and Andy)...Not too long after, the boys were off to soak in the gorgeous fall weather and play some golf!! Us girls (and Andy) had different plans for our morning...We went shopping with a mission: finding matching outfits for our children for Christmas!! Oh my gosh were we successful!! The Children's Place had a big sale on dress clothes--so we got Claire and Emmy matching outfits down to the tights and headbands and Andy will compliment them perfectly with his sweater vest and page-boy cap! As if those outfits weren't prefect enough, they also had a big sale on jammies...You see where this is going...We were positively giddy with excitement over our purchases!!

Saturday night, after the kids were sound asleep and in the care of their babysitter, we went out for an adult dinner at Meridian in downtown Indy! We had a delicious four-course dinner and enjoyed lots of great laughs to help ring in JP's 30th year!

Sunday morning, JP and Andy invited Nick to join them for their man-breakfast at their favorite local joint. While the boys put away some grub, us girls got to enjoy the quiet and kick-back and chat...Later on, we reunited for a family walk on the Monon trail--such a great way to cap off our celebration weekend! Just a couple of days at home before I head to El Paso for Taylor and Danny's wedding (Nick will join me later in the week!) Wish me luck for an easy travel day!!!
