Nashville 2009

On Friday morning Aunt Keli, Cousin Marcelino, Eli and I headed to Nashville, TN to visit Kiki, Popsi, David, Dana, Cousin Abi, Cousin Nate and Keaton. We had such a wonderful time!

On Saturday we spent most of the day relaxing and hanging out with Kiki (Karen). (Karen has a broken ankle, so she had to stay in a chair the whole time we were there.) We went for a walk in the afternoon with Cousin Abi and Keaton. Eli loved running around the gazabo, walking over the bridges and playing with Keaton & Marcel. It was such a beautiful day! That evening we met Nate, David and Dana for a yummy Mexican dinner.

On Sunday we went to David and Dana's church. They had a special program for Palm Sunday. We then had a delicious meal at Kiki and Popsi's house and hung out the rest of the day. Eli got the opportunity to see Popsi's work room. Popsi makes beautiful bowls out of wood. He let Eli practice with a hammer and drill. Eli loved it!!!!

On Monday the weather became very cold (they even got some snow!) We went to lunch with David and Dana, then headed to the mall for some shopping. He got to see the Easter Bunny! That evening we got a pizza and stayed with David and Dana. This was the night that Eli had some problems. Dana and I headed to pick up the pizzas, and when we returned to the house, we saw that Eli had had a bad accident. He tripped on the rug and fell into the coffee table. It hit his nose. Luckily, it wasn't bleeding much and he'd let us touch it, but it caused his nose and eye to become black and blue. Later that evening, he scratched his back on a chair, then fell again while holding a puzzle and hit his nose again and scratched his chin. Poor little guy....he looks like he was in a fight! Broke my heart!

On Tuesday Eli and I headed to Knoxville to visit my friend Krista Freshour and her kids. Eli had so much fun playing with Luke, Ellie and Abby. It was so nice to chat with Krista, too. Miss her greatly.

Wednesday we were heading back to Indiana. We had breakfast with Cousin Abi and got to see her cute house before we left. Wish we could have stayed longer, but it was so nice to get to spend some time with everyone. We love you and miss you! Hope we can get together again soon! Thanks for everything!
