Phil is working on the post about Em’s wedding. In the mean time, I’m jumping ahead to our trip to Indiana. My maternity leave ended the day we got back from the wedding, but we also needed to make one more trip back to Indiana for BJ’s wedding and bachelor party. I wasnt about to watch both kids by myself AND catch up on 12 weeks of work while Phil was gallivanting around in the woods with his friends, so we decided to drive to btown for 10 days to take advantage of all the free childcare and I could hunker-down and work. We also managed to fit in some gnarly dental appointments! (Thanks Dad!)
In typical fashion, we did our best to split time between grandparents. I didnt care who had the kids, as long as it wasnt me! Evie was pretty happy anywhere – but Wil usually needs quite a lot of entertainment to stay happy. Busia and Mimi were up to the task! They had lots of activities for him throughout the week! Here were some of the adventures at the Watkins, including Wil and Evie’s first IU football game! Andrew and Jessie came down for the occasion –
We also had tons of fun at the Wozniaks! We fit in a few visits with the stumpners, bungers, and freemans along the way. Evie got to meet her new friend Addison! Our last day was capped off by BJ’s wedding! It was so fun seeing so many good friends!
The kids did great in the car both ways. Driving through the night is definitely the way to go with us. Wil wakes up at gas/Evie/food stops, but we put on some netflix for 20 minutes while we are stopped – he watches like a zombie and then usually passes out as soon as we’re back on the highway. After 3 weddings this summer and traveling with an infant under 3 months – we are definitely staying put until Christmas!
