First Family Truckster Trip!

Ok...we made it to Indy and back in one piece...phew! We packed up the big car and headed up north to visit with all of the Scullys for the Easter holiday. Laura and the Schmidt family were extremely gracious taking all of us in for 5 days. We had fun going on the tour of grass mowing from Danny's younger years and seeing my old house I lived in for a while. Strange how so much changes and then some things don't change at all. We also visited the childrens museum which sure seemed a lot bigger when I was smaller:) Grandma Jo was as beautiful as ever and is getting stronger every day. Elliot was a dream the way up but once we got there she didn't seem to want to be anywhere but in her mama's arms. Kyla and Logan had a blast playing with their cousins and wished we could have stayed longer but due to mom's exhaustion and dad's bum back...we packed up and headed back home. Like all trips home, this ride was a little more trying than the way up. But we made it home and let the kids party and eat more junk for a couple of days to round out their spring break. Elliot had a rough couple of days when we got back and I am blaming the stop at Skyline Chili in Cincinatti...eewww...But now she has gotten in her groove and seems to have turned yet another corner in her short 11 weeks she has graced us with. I get so excited when I think about all of the changes that will be happening so soon. She is smiling like crazy and squeals with what I like to think is delight. No laughing yet, but I am sure she thinks I am hilarious. It might be a fluke...i am not getting to excited...but she has slept through the night completely the last couple of nights...much needed rest for us all! My friend Brooke is due to have her baby girl in a couple of weeks and we are looking forward to adding another friend to Elliot's posse! Keeping Brooke and her family and all of our loved one in our thoughts we sign off until the next moment I have two hands to type!

I dream of visiting the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. It's the home of Dale Chihuly's LARGEST tower (as opposed to his TALLEST, which I stalked in Oklahoma City.) He's the blown glass artist responsible for the Bellagio lobby ceiling and for a ceiling and tower at the Indy Children's museum. So yeah, I don't have kids, but I might have to make that trip :-)
