Colorado Bound

Earlier this week my mom and I decided to take an adventure and make the 20 hour drive to Colorado to visit my brother and his family. We had to leave Kevin home as he still has classes and can’t take off much work. This will be the longest we’ll all be away from him. … We sure do miss him and Ethan can’t go to sleep at night until he talks to Daddy and has him pray with him over the phone. (too cute!)… We love you, hun, and miss you so much!!!

We packed the van and took off Thursday morning hopeing to make it to Omaha, NE and crash there for the night. The boys did amazing in the car. Ethan loved looking out the window, reading his books and playing with cars. And Lucas only cried when he was ready to eat! We took our time and made it to Omaha with enough time to take a short swim in the hotel pool before bedtime. We crashed and then Friday was 8 hours of flat, straight driving through exciting Nebraska. We finally made it to CO in time for dinner.

We were greeted with great big hugs from Noah and Ethan was finally able to see his cousin he’s been talking about all week!

Here’s some pictures of our drive as well as some play time around the house:

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
