Taylor Visit!

We went to our Alma Mater, Taylor University, this past weekend for Dan's sister's graduation. It had been 5 years since we were back there as a family.  Crazy how time flies and how much it has changed!!  

 We had driven to Ohio the day before and Ari was not feeling well at all.  She had a rough night and therefore, wasn't really herself for a few days.  Maybe it was the right timing because she slept a lot in the car and the driving wasn't too bad.  Ashlyn did pretty well too until Saturday morning when she got sick as well.  Yucky.

Here's Dan with Samuel Morris Hall behind him.  Look at him, pushing a stroller with two lovely ladies!

 We walked around campus after having a quick picnic lunch on the lawn.  Nostalgia is a very difficult emotion to describe but it was overwhelming and so.very.strange.  But also, very very good.  Such amazing and life-altering memories were had in that little town of Upland.

We stayed in a hotel on Friday night and the girls were a bit stir-crazy!!  After taking a quick swim with Uncle Mark, Aunt Jill, baby Lily and Baba, Ashlyn climbed into the suitcase:

Saturday morning was graduation.  It was LONG but thankfully, Ashlyn slept a bit and then played out in the hall with all the other kiddos.  Afterwards, we met old professors and caught up with the whole family.

Aunt Katie, we are proud of you! You can use your skills and your Art major with our girls as much as you want. :)

the whole gang...

We had a great time at the Haller's house in Delaware too. Lots of good fun and food.  It was a whirlwind weekend and though 75% of us were sick at one point, we are recovering and are grateful that we got to go and see everyone (and of course, eat Ivanhoes ice-cream).
