Day 41--Indianapolis and Jordan's 2nd Birthday

Things went pretty much according to plan this morning and Marv got things emptied and dried to his satisfaction before we got on the road. However, we had forgotten that we would be passing out of Central Time Zone so we were suddenly an hour ahead of where we thought we were. We still managed to check-in at the Jamison Inn, drop the trailer, and get to Jordan’s second birthday on time. All of Craig’s family except his brother-in-law, Mike, and brother, Brian, was there. And all of Sarah’s family was there, along with a friend named Marie and her daughter, Claire. Cessa and one of her divers also dropped by, having dropped off her special Elmo cake before practice. A wonderful time was had by all and Jordan was a delight. He sang to himself and spontaneously wished himself Happy Birthday several times. He and Eli fought over who would play with the presents and he quickly figured out that, for one shining day, he could always count on being given priority. So he extended the privilege to pretty much anything Eli picked up. It was pretty funny. Craig’s family and the others all left before the boys went to bed, but we stuck around until about 11:00, with Ken and Jen staying in the guest room. It was so nice to see our family again!!
