It's amazing how quickly plans can change when you have a little one.
This weekend we planned to drive down to Marion, IL for a couple nights. Laine registered to run a marathon on Saturday and we were going to spend some family time relaxing at the hotel, seeing some sights, and enjoying the warm Southern Illinois sun.
But as we were packing the car, Linden puked...a lot. Though she hasn't been doing this much in the past few months, she does have quite a history of this kind of behavior. We decided to press on, assuming she would just fall asleep in the car. Instead, she got sick once we hit the highway and once more on the highway back home.
The good news is that Linden seems to be feeling better already and both my girls are enjoying some cuddles.
I was recently made aware of the fact that I completely skipped over Christmas 2014! We had a great time visiting with the Millers and Twanows and Linden made it easy for us.
We started the holiday in Milwaukee visiting Casey, Drew and Baby Ivy with Graeme, Nina, Doc and Shirls. At that Christmas celebration we received the camera that allowed us to compile the videos below, so this first leg is a bit less documented. It was a relaxing start to our trip and we loved having another chance to see our newest niece. Linden loved the hotel and learned that her chair could be used for more than just napping...quite the opposite in fact.
I upload all my photos and videos to Google and they will produce compilation videos of photos and movies from a single day or trip without me having to do anything at all. I don't pick the photos or edit the video so it's not super polished but it sure does make it easy. So here are some videos of our holidays that Google pulled together using our photos and videos.
This first one is from Christmas Eve at my parents' house.
The video below is a compilation of photos/videos from Christmas Day 2014. We started the morning with my folks before packing up and heading to the Twanows'.
And this one is from Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, and the next day when we drove back home to Bloomington.
The next week, we drove to Columbus, Ohio to visit Jaime, Jesse, Chapin and Gibson's new home. We left when Laine came home from work and spent the night halfway in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lucky for us, Linden loves hotels. :-)
But we all had even more fun spending New Year's Eve with our family in Ohio. Here are some photos from that visit.
