Our Trip to Kentucky...

On Friday, Grammie (my amazing mother in law), Ava, Claire, and I loaded up our bags and headed to the airport for our trip to Casey and Jason's place. I have to throw in a little story here. When we were checking in at the airport, we noticed that our seats were separated, so we quickly asked if they could seat us together. After we thought we had all of that settled, we were told that the seats we were given did not hold enough oxygen masks for the 4 of us. They told us to go ahead on the plane and they would work it out. Now imagine this, we were one of the last ones on so, of course, the whole airplane appears to be given us one of those "oh my goodness...this should be great...2 babies to scream" looks. Are you getting the picture, yet? As if my face wasn't already bright red (from all of the attention this was causing) we were met at our seats, and the lady from the gate was explaining (for about 2 mins) that it would be o.k. to sit there. By this point I was just afraid to even look at the lady sitting next to us at the window....and would you know....that she looked at me with this big smile and said, " I have triplets!" Haha...how funny is that? The girls did great on their first flight!

Alright, so we arrive in Indiana and head out for our 2 hour drive to Louisville to set up for...

Casey's Baby Shower

We had a great time celebrating the upcoming arrival of Lincoln with Casey (Cory's sister) and Jason. They are so excited to meet this little guy and I am so excited for them. I had a wonderful time getting to know their sweet friends and family. What a great day! I love you guys! I can't wait to meet little Lincoln soon! Here are a few pics from the event!







While we were away, Cory and Ellie were having fun on their own. On Friday they went to Trunk or Treat at the church that her preschool is held. After that they met up with my parents for dinner and then they were joined by the cousins. Apparently, the Gator cheerleader outfit gained her a lot of attention. There was even a trunk decorated with Gator stuff. Here are a couple of pictures of their fun together!

WOW the girls are getting so big!! Great new look for the blog. When I have you all in my reader sometimes I don't get to the actual blogs.

Brooke, I love the pic of you with the girls. What a great photo! I think miss Ellie looks adorable as a cheerleader. I understand the whole "hating the attention your kids bring you" thing. Trust me on that one. i just love that the Lord blessed you with that sweet passenger on the plane. It is those little things that He does that just makes you smile. He truly cares about the smallest details of our day.
