Trip to Indy

Last week Nate was out of town. I am so blessed to have my parents living only 5 hours away. And they graciously offer to let me and the girls come down and hang out with them while he's gone. I hate it when Nate's gone, so I usually take them up on their offer. ;) We had a fun, relaxing week hanging out and playing with the girls. Here are some pictures of our trip (My mom somehow evaded all my pictures this time!). It was so special to have my Grandpa Helland visit while we were there. It was his first time meeting Natalie, and she thoroughly enjoyed having him carry her around everywhere. And Adrianna was fascinated by the cool pictures he could draw for her. We enjoyed spending time with my brother Philip and his fiance Alissa. I am thrilled beyond words that I get to have Alissa as my sister-in-law - she is a perfect fit to our family and we all love her! They asked Adrianna if she would be the flower girl in their wedding. Of course Adrianna had no clue what that was, but it sounded fun. The next day I told her to tell Auntie Sue what she was going to do in Philip's wedding. She replied, "I'm going to be a flower garden!!!" :) Adrianna and my dad loved playing together. He even took her to her favorite car wash (it has all the Sesame Street characters there!) even though it wasn't cheap. :) They had their own little greeting for each other as you can see in the picture! {Sorry about the crazy lay-out of these pictures - I have no clue what I'm doing!}
