Weekend in Indianapolis

This was my first weekend away from both kids and I was a little nervous about it.  As I teared up saying goodbye on Thursday morning, I asked for big kisses and hugs.  I got big smiles from Caylee, but Connor was too busy watching tv.

Her cute little face made me melt!

Daddy texted me pictures all weekend while I was in Iowa City.  They went to the zoo on Friday!

Ice cream for dessert

On Saturday, they went on the boat and tried swimming in the lake for the first time.

Connor was very brave for trying out the raft

On Sunday, they took a walk to the park in the morning...

Holding hands!

A great weekend for all of us, but I was happy to be home to see my loves after a few days away!

Happy 4th of July!

Good morning, Caylee & Kitty!

Connor must have gotten up early to go fishing and he caught another fish!

Caylee wore her new patriotic dress with her favorite flag and we took some photos outside in the morning.

She went over to Grammy & Grandpa's house to play and even took a nap with Grammy!

I got this text of Connor playing on the blow-up waterslide! I'm sure he wants one for our house now!

After Caylee's nap, Aunt Julie and the two of us went to the craft fair for a bit.  We had the most fun at the baby hairbow booth (of course) and she may or may not have gotten just one new bow.

After that, we headed over to Grammy & Grandpa's again.  So adorable! Kisses for the bear with "bracelets" on!

Playing catch and she loves to share!

Perfect weather for some family photos

Swimming!

While Connor finished his nap, I played with Caylee for a little bit in the lobby.  She made a few friends by crawling around and batting her long eyelashes :)  When we got back to the room, we got everything ready to go swimming!

Connor got right in, but then he freaked out once he was in the pool.

Caylee and I watched from the side while Connor tried to get more comfortable with the water...

And then it was Caylee's turn to try the pool for the first time!

She's a natural!

Such a little fishy!

Connor got out for a little while and was too scared to come back in...


But I convinced him to sit on the steps with me and make funny faces!

Later on, we actually got him in the hot tub and he tried to "swim" and did really well!  So he warmed up towards the end of our pool session and maybe next time will be a little easier.  Hopefully, Caylee will continue to love the pool!
