Children's Museum with Grams & Ty

Can't resist a trip to the Children's Museum when we have visitors. The kids love it and really it's cool enough for the adults too. We miss Grandma so much!! It was so great having them here. What would we do without them? XOXO

Tyrali seriously needs to give me fashion advice. Such a cute girl!

Meet Rich & Kyle!

Rich just finished an ENT fellowship here in Indy. (J.R. got to work with him for the past 2 months.)  And Kyle is Rich's adventurous brother-in-law. These two are on a journey to ride their bikes across the country in 40 days. Their goal is to raise money for the Oral Cancer Foundation. They started in Washington D.C. on July 2nd and will be getting to the West coast 40 days later. I got to take some pictures of them before they started their trek. The pictures turned out great and even more great is what they are headed out to accomplish!

These are 2 of the nicest guys you will ever meet! We were so excited to get to help them while they were in Indiana yesterday. Elliot can’t stop talking about them. They are his hero’s (among Superman and Obi Wahn). They slept in his room and left him a note on the bed in the morning. Totally made his day!!

 The amount of miles they are putting in on their bikes, the amount of food and water they have to consume to keep up the energy, the amount sleep their bodies need to recover is AMAZING! What a cool cool thing they are doing! My dad would be thinking this is awesome! I bet he would have wanted to do something like that. 

If you would like to follow them on their trek you can visit their blog here…WWW.TOURDECANCER.ORG

Way to go Rich & Kyle! We’re cheering you on and praying for your safety!!

A warm winter day

Nothing beats having your mom come visit. We had a GREAT time! Just having someone else to take over meal times with the twins made my life SOO much easier. It's amazing how a simple task like eating can take up so much time and Energy. We did lots of fun stuff and I got lots done too. (like updating my blog and getting 2010 made into a book - Yay!) I'm so happy it was nice weather. Elliot had so much fun feeding giraffes and fighting tigers as they explored the forest behind the park. He was a sad little boy when he woke up and remember she had to go home. Looking forward to the next visit already.

Thanks mom for the visit. You are such a strength to us. Your example of nurturing and patience is incredible. We feel so blessed to call you ours!

LOVE YOU!!
