Found: Love in the shoe aisle

It's been pretty quiet around the Andrews household lately. Ian wasn't himself this past weekend - not sure why. Is is teething, a cold, an earache, or just the general affect of a 20-month old. Who knows?! We still tried to relax and enjoy the weekend as much as we could. Casey did get home early on Saturday, as his boss was ever so kind to relieve him after kickoff, so we went out to dinner as a family. It was a nice treat!


Sunday I connected with my friend, Kate. We took the kids to a local park so they could let off some steam. We didn't get to stay too long though because the winds picked up as the storm moved in. We decided it would be best to leave once we started getting pelted with sand. The kids didn't care though. They were having too much fun together. It was the first time we've had them together where they have noticed one another, it was pretty cool to watch them playing together. We weren't ready to call it quits because of the storm, so when all else fails...shop Target. Right?

The next big thing on our agenda is a trip back to Indiana. A close friend from high school, Bekah, is getting married on October 10th. I am so excited to see her, her family and my old friends! Ian and I talk about our trip to Grandma's house everyday on our car ride to Kristin's. I tell him why we are going back to Indiana, who we are going to see and all the exciting things we will do when we are there. So, I was thinking...why not make a visual for him. We made a Countdown to Grandma's sign and he helped me decorate it with strawberry stickers. Very fitting! Now each morning he can look forward to marking another day off the sign, or rather I can look forward to it;)
