Home again, home again, jiggety jig...

Home safe & sound after a whirlwind roadtrip experience this week. We left last Saturday after Mike Severe's birthday party here (26 people in our house!) and headed east. We spent the night in Fremont, OH just because, then went to our old church, First Presbyterian Church, in Clarion, PA. We got to see Kirk & Vicki Orr, Judy Clark, Jean Smith, and Dan & Holly Stitt- some of our closest Clarion buddies. We really missed the Larimers, Skaradas, and the Whitlings, though! Maybe next time!

We headed to Butler after lunch w/ Kirk & Vicki at Eat 'N Park. We spent Sunday and Monday nights there and got to see both my parents, Scott's mom, my grandparents, and Andrew & Megan. What a busy time! We tried to take care of mom after her recent hysterectomy, but there's just no keeping her down ;)

We got to sleep in our own bed Tuesday night and then headed to La Crosse, Wisconsin Wednesday morning. Scott had some stuff to do at a brewery there, again. The highlights were dinner and breakfast with another OI guy, Dave Wentt. He really got a kick out of Carrie, having three young boys at home. She even kissed him on the cheek when we parted ways Thursday morning. Got home, bathed her, and tucked her in by about 9 last night. Whew! Always nice to be home!

Carrie got a box of clothes from Mary Alice today "just because" and she had a wonderful time with the packaging and the stickers MAS had put on and in the box. Very cute Old Navy stuff! So now there are multi colored packing materials all over the house and she has an 18-24 month sticker across her chest. Hehe!

I do have more pictures, but can't remember how to upload them. Once I do, they'll be up and ready for viewing. Hope everyone is doing well! Have a spiffy weekend! Off to Kroger's....
