On a Jet Plane

This weekend, while Jack was in Howe, Indiana with friends from high school, Caroline and I went to Zionsville.  Caroline was appropriately spoiled by her doting Nana and Grandpapa.  She loved all of the attention and was pretty excited about smiling, making faces and giggling with her grandparents. She was particularly enamored with a cloth elephant that Nana had for her to play with. (I was having so much fun watching her I forgot to take a picture of that).

Caroline got to take a walk around Zionsville and see some of where I grew up. She also got to go to Zionsville Fellowship (the church I grew up in). She was good enough in the nursery that I didn't have to go get her! 

I had a great time at home too. I got to see all the gardens that my dad has put in (they truly look professional - amazing). I had some great talks with my mom too. My parents have been cleaning out the attic lately. That meant that there were a number of boxes of mementos for me to go through. I decided we didn't need all of my weekly journals from third grade, but I did keep some fun stuff like my baby book. It was really fun to read and see the similarities (and differences) with Caroline.
Caroline also got to meet her soon to be godparents Kim and Jeff. As you can see, they took to her immediately (and really, who wouldn't?).  They were trying to feed her shortly before this picture (though she was being a little cantankerous). So, Jeff's got his burp cloth all ready to go. 

Elliott was also great with Caroline (and I have to say, he was pretty good at making her giggle). He's got a great knack with babies it seems. She though he was pretty funny.

We missed seeing Olivia but are really excited to have them out here for Caroline's christening in July.

Speaking of Elliott being good with babies, he apparently knows what will make them smile. Caroline thought wearing his hat was pretty funny!
