Purdue weekend!

We are enjoying October to it's fullest right now!  We took advantage of a half day Friday to go down to Burr Ridge for fancy salon haircuts and time with grandparents.  Isaac was not sold on the idea, but eventually Dara got him in the chair!
 Bamma continues to improve post knee replacement.  She was impressed with Sam's much improved reading skills!
 We had a fun night with Kelly and Ginger and Boots along with the Worsts.  It was a perfect fire night.  The chill required us all to warm our booties by the fire!
 I'm not normally a big fan of fall, but a recent walk to school with fog and changing leaves and cooler temps was just wonderful!
 Prior to our weekend trip to Purdue, we dropped Ellie off with my parents and went out to lunch.  Isaac LOVES a breakfast lunch and got right to work on some pancakes, eggs, and bacon!
 Friday night we drove down to West Lafayette to spend the weekend with Brad, Jeaneen, Kate, Meredith, and CJ.  The kids were VERY excited to stroll around a college town on Homecoming weekend!

 Outside the stadium!
 We saw the band during the pre-game rally.  They played Iowa, so I had to wear my Iowa shirt.  Isaac was sporting Cubs gear!
 Sam loves hanging out with his cousins.
 There was a hungry hippos inflatable game, very fun for all!



 The kids got lots of Purdue swag, the helmet and the glitter tattoos were a highlight for Isaac!

 We were sad to leave, but happy that we'll be seeing the Benharts soon again for the holidays.  Meanwhile, back home we're back to our usual week of activities.  Noah has enjoyed karate again, and is starting to work on solid belts!
