We just returned from a ten hour drive to Ohio over Memorial Day weekend. We surprised Alan for his 50th birthday along with everyone else from the family (except one cousin, Jaime)! It was a blast. Addie ended up having a fever on Sunday-Monday and was pretty fussy so the drive home was difficult. She slept MAYBE two hours the entire trip. On the way out she was wonderful. I took her to the doctor Tuesday afternoon and, of course, her fever had gone away. But the doc said it appeared that she had developed a sinus infection. She has already been treated for two previous ones, so I was a bit leary of putting her on an antibiotic again. I still haven't filled it. But I'm thinking I might have to. She's still getting her teeth so it's hard to tell what's causing the discomfort.
Our family in Ohio is just marvelous. We stayed at Angela's house (our niece! Weird, huh?) and she was very accommodating.
The first day we were there, we went to COSI in Columbus with Cory, Beth and Rowan. We had a blast and the girls were awesome. Neither one of them were fussy and we stayed until 5:30 pm. Of course, once we got in the car, we realized Addie's binkie was lost. Rowan fell asleep promptly, but not Addie. We thought we'd just let her cry herself to sleep, she'd surely sleep, right? WRONG. She went biszerk! We finally had to stop at Kroger's and get her a $4 binkie. Yes...$4! What we will do to get the girl quiet! She fell asleep quickly and guess where the binkie was? On her lap! Geesh!
Anyway, here are some pics of her having a blast:
Addie---The girls were trying to catch some water droplets that shot up out of the ground.

Addie soaked herself at the water table.
We were playing in the sound room. I'm acting like a monkey...now you know why my child acts like one too.
Here's Alan opening his gifts at Angela and Chris's home.
Me and Katelyn on their cool blow up slide! Everyone kept calling me Katelyn, so I decided we should get our picture taken together to prove that we must be long lost twins....born very far apart.
Can you believe I didn't get one picture of any other family members? I never had my camera with me when I wanted to get a shot of something. I'm counting on others to send more photos to me.
We scheduled family pictures for 11am on Sunday at the park. As soon as we stepped on the trail to meet the photographer, it started to sprinkle. Then we heard thunder. Then the sky let her rip. We were drenched. Some people ran ahead to get under a bridge , and the rest of us ran back to the bridge on the other side of the creek. We took a picture of them across the way and a picture of us. We ended up having to postpone our pictures to the evening.
The twins, Christian and Tylar, were prepared.
Lisa, one of my wonderful sister-in-laws, was calling our family on the other side of the creek.
Debbie, one of my other great sister-in-laws, held Addie for a while.
Sydney, Brad, and Brenna

Those are great pictures, Beth! And I recognize so many of those family members. :) COSI is such a great place too. I remember having sleepovers there when I was in Girl Scouts. I hope Addison feels better soon.
So much fun! We are going to Minnesota with Dan's family in August. I can't wait! I hope Addie is feeling better, too!
