We had a great trip to Indiana for Jaime's 13th (yes, 13th) high school reunion at Pendleton Heights High School in Pendleton, IN. (30 miles west of Indy) It's a long story why it was the 13th, so maybe she'll explain it on her blog.
It was also nice to reconnect with her family/extended family while in Indiana...Faith got to demonstrate her walking skills many, many times. She can now turn around while in motion, and she no longer sits down to applaud herself every few steps anymore.
Oh, and she now waves goodbye! According to the experts, that was supposed to happen at 12 months, but she waved for the 1st time to a sweet little girl at Bob Evans (our going away breakfast with Grandma Kinder) yesterday morning. Too precious. By the way, Bob Evans is always a great way to start a 580 mile day. Traveling with a 15 month old, and a wife who is 26 weeks pregnant is no quick trip. Jaime was/is an awesome wife, and the conversations you can have on a long road trip like that are so fun.
If you've ever driven west on interstate 70 through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio...wow, aren't those views amazing? The mountains are absolutely breathtaking anytime of year. Keep in mind I've spent most of my life in Memphis/Dallas, so those are MOUNTAINS! :) But the vistas from the interstate are truly amazing, and help to make the long trip do-able. Some of the best views are on 15 once you've crossed the Potomac as you're coming south through Lucketts and Leesburg...those Virginia horse farms are beautiful! And we drove in around 7:30 pm, just as the sun was setting!
We are thankful to be home safe, and to start gearing up for an awesome Easter.

Now you know why we love living in Loudoun County!!! The beauty of the blue ridge is breathtaking - Was just looking at them today as I drove from Lansdowne to Leesburg - even in the midst of all the construction - there the mountains were - blue and misty.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact I grew up in Ft. Worth, too....
