Fall & Family

The kids and I had a really great weekend. We went with my mom and drove to Bloomfield to visit with my sister, Meghan and her family. We drove down Friday afternoon and ended up picking up my new van friday night in Bloomington and then heading back to the Dowden's house after that. Saturday morning Uncle Steve took the older kids to the IU football game. I think they had fun but were quite disappointed in IU's performance (BIG Surprise :P)!



While they were gone Grandma Stella drove up from Paoli to visit with us. She had not met her newest Great-grandson yet. I believe he is her 13th great grandchild! WOW! Now, she has at least one more on the way from my sister, Courtney!!! We enjoyed catching up with Grandma and I think she enjoyed spending time with Stella, Will, & Drake. My Stella always enjoys spending time with her and just thinks it is so special that she is named after her! Grandma nevers ceases to amaze me. She is 88 years old and still works almost every day outside in her yard. She brought us some persimmon pudding and said she has been pickin up persimmons every day form her tree. She is quite a lady! I just love her:)



I really enjoyed watching ny nephew Will play and jabber. He just loves Drake and had to be right by him all the time. I hope they are really close as they get older. We had a great visit and can't wait to do it again.
