back already?

Kaylea & I made our first trip back to Southern Indiana this past weekend.  I picked her up from day care just before her nap, hoping she would crash in the car - and she did just that!  She slept almost the entire 2:15 ride (that is the best time I've made). 

Friday night we went to see Mimi in the hospital. It really stunk because when we got there, we found out that my mom was in isolation and Kaylea was only supposed to go in if she wore a gown and gloves, and Kaylea really did not want to.  It wasn't a completely wasted visit, but I know my mom was upset that she couldn't kiss on Kaylea.  The good news is, they finally got a reasonable doctor in to see her and she is now home and on the road to recovery.

Kaylea was a little confused about the house - she wanted to go in the basement and play with her toys and wasn't sure why they weren't there, but we explained it and I think she understood.  She was very excited to see Daddy & Doodle.

Saturday we had breakfast, did a little shopping, and Kaylea & Daddy had some quality time while I went to see my mom at the hospital. 

That evening, we went to the Taste of Our Place (a Harvest Homecoming event) with several of our friends.  We had a great time stuffing our faces and even won a couple auction items!  Kaylea & Lucas danced the night away.  Jordy & I had some time to go out that evening while Kaylea played with nana & pop.

I'm learning quickly that it is difficult to see everyone you want to see on a visit back, but we certainly tried.  Kaylea spent some time with Trina & Meagan on Sunday before we hit the road to head back to Lafayette.  It was a great visit, but Lafayette is starting to feel like home.
