Children's Museum

For those who have moved, you know that there is always a period of "quiet". Its a time of reflection from where you've come, a re-framing of where your going, and it offers the opportunity to change things up a bit schedule wise. So that's what we've done. We've reflected {better known as crying}, remembering all our sweet friends, and fun summer time activities, that we miss. We are changing up where our priorities are, not what we value, but where we are spending our energy. For example, Justin is leaving around 6:45am every day, and returning well after 10pm... yes this is a little more than we thought it was going to be. But that means we make it a point to drop of lunch and dinner to him. He hops in the car, we drive around the block while he talks with the kids, sometimes we go to a nearby park for 20 minutes, and then drop him back off. Today Blythe said, "I really like the stairs at daddy's new home where he lives" , she is referring to the steps that lead to the front door of the law school {hilarious and sad all at the same time}. So when Justin says he has a free moment, we stop what we're doing, load up in the car, just for a few minutes here and there.

Thank goodness there are just a few more weeks left of craziness and then he has a 2 week break to be all ours! So as not to dwell on the past and everything great that we left, we have been motivated to make some new memories here to make it feel like home. We've visited the Indianapolis Children's Museum, which is the largest children's museum in the US. It is amazing, and if you're ever in the area, it is worth the price to drop in. Justin and I have talked about how we would like to go on a date there {that is how cool it is}!

So in efforts to make new memories, here we go.


There was a Dora the Explorer exhibit for kiddos ages 5 and younger!












Dinosaur Exhibit was so cool!
A little over our kids head,
but there was a section that looked like you were
walking through Jurassic Park!















A whole area dedicated to trains, this was Big Guys favorite!
They had an old caboose that was simulated as if
you were riding it. I think he could have stayed there for hours.














Barbi! This was Peanuts favorite!
There was a design studio, fashion runway,
doll dressing area, pretty much a little girls dream!












Big Guy was quite intrigued with the phone!

  1. I know those days of adjustment too... and I remember some tears as well... (I think when we moved to Siloam I cried every day for the first month). Just want you to know that I'm praying for you during this transition. Love seeing the pictures of your littlest one too!
