Well, we're back. The poor kia sounded older as we drove back yesterday. Certainly we logged some miles on it. We left last Tuesday and spent the night half-way up Indiana to see what it would be like if we actually lived that close to our families! It was nice. Brian left Thursday after a birthday brunch to go farther up to Wisconsin for a conference. Corrie and I stayed with grandparents and spent some time with Oliver and my brother and sister.
Corrie and Ollie became quite a pair. They seemed to really enjoy being together. Ollie has a great, "whazzzzup..." (his favorite word, I gather).
checking out belly buttons...
Grandpa had made a special house out of a big box for them...
everyone liked to get inside, even the big people.
We had such a great time... it will be a multiple post affair!
Her relationship with Jabez was in 3 stages. Day 1, she was terrified to come nose-to-nose with a big dog like Jabez. Day 2, she was cautiously curious. Days 3-5, she was terrorizing Jabez, who longed for childless afternoon naps again. Here she is interrupting her nap with a hug.
Here is a clip of Carrie skiing at Breckenridge. After a traumatic first run, I coaxed her back up after lunch and she got the hang of it enough to make a few more trips. By her third run, she didn't fall at all! :) Petey was a trooper and took one for the team; he and Corrie had fun back in Springs while Cassie drove us out to ski all day. Stay tuned for more pics and clips in another post....
