Snow Storm

I guess I'm a homebody...being cooped up in the house from the snow storm didn't bother me too much. :) I love being with my girls, and it was especially fun having Alex home last Wednesday. I knew the roads had to be bad when Alex stayed home from work! The girls had fun playing in the snow with him.

Friday evening, we decided to plan a quick trip to Indy at the last minute. Due to the snow storm, Alex's basketball was canceled for Sat., so after his bible study Saturday morning, we loaded up the car and went to Indy for the rest of the weekend. We attended the Home Show at the state fairgrounds. We got some great ideas and advice for our new house. From there, we went to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, The Cheesecake Factory. Yum!! We were stuffed full and ordered our cheesecake to go, but of course the girls had to get a quick taste in before we left!

The girls had been waiting all day to go swimming, and as soon as we were checked into our hotel room, they started changing into their swimsuits. Brynna was a little top heavy at first in her life jacket...it kept tipping her forward and she'd get water in her mouth. Once we explained that she had to keep her feet moving, she swam all over the pool and had races with her big sis. They both LOVE jumping in too.

My parents were leaving for Hawaii on Sunday and I knew they would be flying out early. On our way to Indy, I had called my mom to see which hotel they were staying in by the airport on Sat. night. It just so happened that our hotel was directly across the street from their hotel! Braylee and Brynna enjoyed their visit from Mamaw and Papaw before bedtime. It was nice to see them before they left on their trip.
Sunday, we made it home in time for a Super Bowl party at Jenn & Brad's house. It was a typical Super Bowl party for me...the men were watching the game in the basement, while the ladies chatted upstairs. :)

Tuesday, Alex and I met with the guy designing our house. We spent two hours making changes to our plans. His program allows us to see the house in 3D. It's so realistic that you can "see" in the windows when looking at the exterior...very cool. The snow had drifted so much while we were there, Alex and I barely made it out of his drive. It's the little adventures like that that remind me how much I enjoy my husband and his personality. :) The wind was blowing the snow around so much that at times it felt like we were driving through a blizzard. A few pictures to share...

A few weeks ago, we went to see Hotel for Dogs with Abby, Lillie, and Pierce.

Brynna had seen me measuring rooms (trying to prepare for the house)...guess she wondered if Leila would fit in the new house. :) When I asked her how big, she replied "29!" It reminded me of my nephew Ely...He went through a phase when his answer to everything involving numbers was "28."

Braylee went home with Lillie from church last night. It sounds like they had a lot of fun, but I missed snuggling her last night.
Tonight at dinner as Brynna was shoveling food into her mouth, I said, "You're a little piggy!" She said, "No I'm not. I'm me! I'm Brynna!" :)

Continue to keep Chelsa, Ryan, and Brycen in your prayers. I can't imagine the loss they are going through right now. As Andon's due date approaches, I'm sure it will be extremely hard on them. My heart breaks for them.
