M & J visit

My great friends Miranda and Jennifer came to visit to meet Blakeley. Miranda flew in from Nashville and Jennifer made the drive from Indianapolis. Blakeley had fun reading and playing with them, and we had a wonderful time together, as usual! We had dinner in the Short North, enjoyed Jeni's ice cream and then walked around during Gallery Hop--didn't really look at any art, but enjoyed the scene. It is wonderful to have such loving friends to be a part of our little girl's life!

Happy 1st Halloween!

Blakeley celebrated her first halloween at home as a ladybug. There were no trick-or-treaters at our house to introduce her to though. Happy 1st Halloween to our little ladybug!

Pumpkin Palooza

October was full of fun PUMPKINS!

Our little Pumpkin Pumpkin craft: I made a onesie for Blakeley

Pumpkin food & drink: pumpkin pancakes with pecan faces, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin & pecan muffins with cream cheese frosting, pumpkin beer

And then Halloween...

Boiler Up!

Blakeley attended (kind 0f) her first Purdue football game! She actually only tailgated in the parking lot but I think it still counts since we made the trip to West Lafayette. She met some amazing Pi Phi ladies, a few of Casey's friends, and family too. It was her first trip to Purdue, but won't be her last!

Fall Break

Blakeley's Mimi and cousin Shaylynn came to visit over Fall Break! We had so much fun playing and laughing. Blakeley got a box of toys, books, and clothes, as well as a big comfy Purdue blanket. We went to the American Quarter Horse Congress, it was Blakeley's first horse experience. Thanks for coming to visit!

The Majors Family

Tim & Kristin, friends from high school, and their two boys Max & Luke came to visit their sweet new nephew Owen and took time to visit and meet Blakeley at lunch. It was so great to see them!

Purdue vs. Penn State

We had a great time visiting with the Heynoski family for the Purdue vs. Penn State game...even though Purdue lost.

Reagan & Riley are such sweet girls! It was so fun to watch them play with Blakeley!
