We took a short trip over to Indianapolis before Thanksgiving. It was Andrew's first flight as a Premier on United. Congrats, buddy!
We took the opportunity to visit our friends the T's who live in the Urbana-Champaign area. Believe it or not, Indianapolis is their closest major airport! It was a bonding time with our old friends now that we have a child and can talk with them on whole new levels. Unfortunately, Andrew was coming down with a cold, and we had a couple of really rough nights. But we made it through!

Learning to sit up is hard. |
We then headed over to Kokomo to attend Aunt-to-be (ATB) Kathleen's bridal shower. It was fun to see family and to meet new family!

In fact it was exhausting. Thank God for Grandma! |
We wrapped up our trip with a stay at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Indianapolis, with excellent views of the Indiana State Capitol.

This is my favorite nursing picture ever. My post-baby belly may be hanging out there, but this is my life! |
An unfortunate coda to this trip: I left my wallet in the rental car and it was never recovered. Three days before leaving on an international vacation! AGH. I blame mommy brain. Not my brightest moment.
