We took our first road trip as a family of five! We went to Indianapolis for cousin Scarlett's 1st birthday party! The road trip wasn't as awful as I expected it to be. We put the big girls in the very back row, and I sat in the middle row to be with Blakesley. She still doesn't like her car seat very much, so it was a good thing I could be back there to put her pacifier in and help soothe her. We stopped three times for feedings and diaper changes and potty breaks. And I can't believe I am even typing this, but I read a book. As in an entire, long chapter book! I've been in a book club since the summer and I was worried I would have to just skip the September book because I have not had any time to sit down and read. However, I managed to download and read , "The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry." Great book, by the way!
We arrived just in time for the party to start - 5 hours after we left home.

| The girls were so excited to be there to celebrate Miss Scarlett. My Sister put on a GREAT party! |
 |
| Smash cake! |
 |
| Blakesley met Great Grandpa for the very first time. He wasn't too sure about holding her, but I assured him that they would be fine! I am glad he did! |
 |
| I love this picture of Blakesley looking at Grandpa. |
 |
| Cora and Sonoma played for a very long time with Jordie and Jason. They caught TONS of bugs in a new bug jar Cora got. And they also played human bowling |
 |
| Love this little girl!! She is so happy! |
My parents were very nice and got us a suite to stay in at the Embassy Suites. It worked out so well. The girls slept in their very own room, and Blakesley, Marcus and I all slept in a separate room. Blakesley slept from 10-4:30 and then ate and slept again from 5:30-9:00!
 |
| We enjoyed a very bountiful breakfast the next morning |
 |
| The girls loved the elevator looking out at the atrium |

 |
| Sonoma always wants to take pictures of me and Blakesley. Some day I will appreciate that so much! |
