3 Weeks Away From Home

I have been at my parents for three weeks. My mom asked me to stay an extra week to help out with the littles because she started school back and they didn't go back to school until the week after she started. So that is how 2 weeks turned into 3 weeks. I arrived at my parents' house on the 4th of August. We left for Kansas to see Seth on Wednesday the 8th. We stopped in Indiana to stay with some old family friends, the Wings. It was very good to see them. We got to Kansas on Thursday evening. We had a lot of fun staying with Seth and his wife Sarah. They took us on a tour of the base. Aiden loved the helicopters and pow-pows (guns). Up a huge hill to see some tanks. The best restaurant we ate at was Famous Daves. It was delicious! The ribs fell off the bone, macaroni and cheese with jalapenos, yummy potato salad and not to mention the delicious wings! We went swimming at the pool in their apartment. Seth was an awesome uncle to Aiden. In fact he was very helpful with my little man. On the way home we stayed with the Wings again. We did have a few set backs on the way home like driving 2 hours West instead of East and my mom lost her keys. They ended up being 7 miles away from where she set them on the hood of the car. Somebody riding a bike found them and mailed them back. Nice, huh?

Anyway three weeks is a long time to be away from my husband. I miss him a lot. Last weekend he came up to see me but I hadn't seen him in 2 weeks! He took me out to a hotel to have a night alone together. I had a blast and found him wonderfully romantic. Chocolates in the room and everything. We ate dinner at Ham's and of course I got the Chef's wrap with homemade chips my favorite! Then I had a cup of coffee from Starbucks because I was craving it. The next morning we ate breakfast at the hotel and had a late checkout of noon. We went to lunch at Panera Bread before going back to my parents' house. I really enjoyed the time I had with him.

Last weekend Aiden went to his cousin Carter's birthday party which had an Elmo & Dorothy theme. He had a good time. He ate goldfish crackers, drank lemonade, played with the parachute and enjoyed cake. He sadly went home early though because he fell and skinned his knee pretty bad. He even got to take home a fish as a party favor!

The parachute!

I have really enjoyed the time I spent with my family. They were awesome to let me go with them to Kansas! I am grateful to them for letting me stay in Leah's room and spend time with them. I am ready to get back to my own home though with my own routine. Sunday I will be 3/4 of the way through this pregnancy! I am getting so close!
