Trip back home to Rockford

We made the 2 hour trip back home this past weekend for a couple of events, Mitch & I had our 10 class reunion as well as the town's Fun Days. We went to the parade which was pretty short but for a toddler with a short attention span that works out just fine. The parade didn't start until noon though and Adrian never slept on the drive up North so she was starting to get tired.

Adrian enjoyed collecting all of the candy and putting it in her bag but didn't like the fire truck sirens. Little too loud for her sensitive ears, heck she is even scared of the vacuum let alone 6 trucks with the sirens blaring.

Izzy is the newest addition to the Harden household, Grandma & Grandpa recently adopted her from the local shelter. Adrian is a little scared of her since she is a pretty active puppy, but she sure loves saying "Issy" which sounds so cute :)

All smiles here...Adrian would be happy if she got to spend most of her day swinging.

Sat. night Mitch and I headed out to the Rockford Country Club for the class reunion. Grandpa was called to duty as Grandma was on call at the hospital over night. Thank You Grandpa for babysitting :)

It was good to get to see about half of our graduating class and to catch up with everyone! I can't believe it has been 10 years since Mitch and I graduated, seems like not that long ago we were living back in Rockford. Or to think back to all of the changes since our 5 year reunion, there have been so many. From moving to Polk City, starting a job with Nationwide Insurance, Mitch started working from home, buying a house, & the biggest change....having Adrian.

Heading back to Polk City Adrian got to catch a good hour nap with her paci, favorite blanket and pillow.
