Jonathan's Birthday Week-Day 5-Lunch at the Bank

Today was a new experience. Since Jonathan missed four days of working in the office this week, he had a lot of catching up to do. He didn't think he had time to have a lunch break today, but the girls and I decided to bring him lunch. The girls LOVE going to the bank because they get to see Daddy and their Mama Mary. They always get a lot of attention! Here are some pictures from the special lunch.

Jonathan's Birthday Week-Day 4-Our Trip to Indy!

We are so thankful to our mothers for taking turns with the girls so I could accompany Jonathan on his business trip. The girls LOVE time with their Mama Mary and Nonnie!

















Jonathan and I had separate flights to Indianapolis,(not fun!) but it did allow me to finish a book I was reading and Jonathan to prepare a sermon. Once we arrived in Indy, we went to pick up our rental car. The sweet girl at the front desk realized it was Jonathan's birthday and she upgraded our car free of charge! We only ended up driving it twice, but we enjoyed driving in style. :) When we arrived at our beautiful hotel we got another blessing. One of our favorite restaurants from our days in Louisville, KY, was right across the street from our hotel! We enjoyed Steak N' Shake twice on our trip! Yummy steakburgers and chocolate shakes. :)

Jonathan got a great deal (of course!) on a really nice hotel downtown. The Canterbury Hotel was built in 1928. It still had real locks and keys! But also had modern treats...WiFi. :)

So cute!

The beautiful lobby where during the day a man would play the piano. :)

Jonathan's Birthday Week-Day 3

Our family started our day Tuesday morning with a Pancake Birthday Party! Jonathan and I were planning on leaving later that morning for his business trip to Indianapolis, so this was our chance to spend quality birthday time with the girls. The night before, the girls and I picked up a special present for Daddy. He now has a new 4-cup coffee maker. Previously he was making his coffee in a one-mug maker because I was hesitant for him to have a big one that wouldn't get used much. Yes, I'm the bad guy! I didn't want a big thing to clutter up my cabinets more than they already are. I also confess that I was hoping his love of coffee wouldn't last long. You see, Jonathan made it through years of college and even Seminary WITHOUT coffee and then decided to start drinking it when we moved back to Arkansas. ????? I really thought maybe it was just a phase, but then gave in and got him this for his birthday.

My little artist, Addie Leigh, decorated the card for us. I knew her daddy would love it, not only because of the beautiful art, but it was not $4.00! We need to work with her on keeping her letters straight. :)
