Trip back to Indiana

Every time I go back home for a visit, I always think that I should take more pictures. That thought didn't sink in on this trip. Oh well! We still had a good time. Luckily, I was able to capture a few shots.

Unfortunately, Brett wasn't able to stay the entire time, so he had to leave at the beginning of the trip, do a few days at work, and then come back. I was so thankful he did because having Sophia on a plane for two legs by myself would have been a little unnerving! Sophia did a pretty good job on the flights. She's so used to crawling around on the floor all the time, so when she had to sit in our laps for a few hours, she wasn't too pleased. On our way back, we purposely took a flight that gave us a 2-hour layover in DC, so she was able to crawl around for a while.

The trip was great. We took a drive to Marion to see all of the Dickason and Musick side of the family. We got to see Brett' s cousin, Justin's, new baby girl. We hadn't seen Katelee since she was born...and I'm not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly! She and Sophia are about 4 months apart. We plopped them down on the floor, and they just examined each other. Sophia really hasn't been around another baby, so it was really interesting to watch her reaction. She kept wanting to put her fingers in the baby's eyes...don't quite get that one. We also got to go over to Brett's grandpa's and visit with him. Grandpa Musick just kept pulling baby toys out from the back rooms, so Sophia warmed up to him.

I got to spend a good amount of time with Brett's mom, since she had the week off of work, so that was nice. I should say that SOPHIA got to spend time with her, while I worked on my computer. Mom took Friday off of work, so we got to spend the afternoon together. We went down to Noblesville to drive around some neighborhoods to see what was for sale. Sophia had had enough of the carseat by the time we drove back, and we got to hear her cry quite a bit. I think she got her lungs from me! Great...

Over the weekend, Sophia and I went with the Suppinger side up to the lake in Michigan. The weather was perfect! Aaron and Laurie came with their kids. Carla came with her kiddos. Louis had caught the sick ick that Aaron's kids had caught earlier in the week, so he stayed home. The kids got to swim in the water and went fishing. I got to go swimming! I can't remember when I swam at the lake last. It was great!

Brett flew in the following Tuesday, so we stuck around town and spent time with family. It was a great trip! Sophia warmed up to her 6 cousins bombarding her, and now I think she misses it! There were a couple times today when she actually looked bored. Next trip will probably come in late October or so, when Carla has her next little bundle.
