Indiana Lesnet Blog: Summer's Over Already?

Life has been pretty busy here at the Holiday Inn…er, I mean the Lesnet house! We have had overnight guests each of the past 3 weekends and we have loved every minute of it!

3 weeks ago, the Patterson’s were in town from Arizona. Last weekend Grandpa and Grandma Eridon were in town for a wedding that was up in Anderson. This past weekend the Martin’s (also from Arizona) were here for a night. We really enjoy hosting our friends and family so if you would like to come and hang out with the Indiana Lesnet’s and get a shout out on our blog, please come and visit!

This is Stephanie and Kai with Sara and Sadie Patterson:

Here are some pictures of Kai and his friend Cole Martin:

Although we have enjoyed all of our visitors very much, family always gets a little extra mention here on the old blog. Grandpa Eridon has a twin brother who’s name is Uncle Kris (seriously – first name is Uncle…their folks must have been on to something). Uncle Kris and Aunt Bev were also in town for the wedding and they came over for dinner on Friday evening. We grilled up some chicken and sweet corn and had a very nice family dinner. The rest of the weekend with the grandparents was awesome too! Grandpa and I went and played 9 holes of golf on Saturday morning (he kicked my booty). Grandpa and I also went to a late night showing of The Dark Knight at the IMAX, it is a great flick but it’s a bit dark for the kiddies. On Sunday, we celebrated Grandma Eridon’s 39th birthday at Red Robin, yum! As always, Kai really enjoyed his time with the grandparents and Stephanie and I enjoy catching up on our rest since Kai is so well taken care of.

Since our last posting, we had a sick bug wreak havoc on our innocent little family. On one night Kai didn’t sleep at all so mom and I had to take turns holding him all night long. On the bright side, the Olympics are live on TV in the middle of the night so we were able to watch a lot of the action live! This bug has some pretty good staying power but we are all feeling much better than we did.

Stephanie is leaving PricewaterhouseCoopers! She has worked there for 10 years and she is now moving on to be the Director of Financial Reporting at Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Stephanie and her new boss used to work together at PwC and he called her out of the blue to see if she was interested in back-filling for his old job since he was recently promoted. Her last day at PwC will be September 12th and her first day at the bank will be September 29th. She is very excited about starting something new but she will miss working with her team at PwC.

Stephanie took her last ever business trip with PwC last week up to Chicago. She left on Sunday evening and came back on Wednesday evening. That left the boys home alone! Stephanie enjoyed her time up in Chicago and even went to Harry Caray’s and Morton’s Steak House while she was up there. Kai and I didn’t eat nearly as well as mom did but we had a lot of fun hanging out! Although everyone had a great time, we were all very happy when mom came home and the Indiana Lesnet’s were all together again!!

Stephanie and I have started celebrating the upcoming nuptials of our friends Eugene and Kim. They are getting married on September 13th so there is a lot of parties leading up to the big one next month. Stephanie went to a bridal shower last weekend and I played golf this past weekend down at Heartland Crossing (a darn fine course that I highly recommend). We will probably have a couple more events coming up!

Kai is continuing to grow up so quickly! He celebrated his 7 month birthday since our last blog post. In addition to crawling all over the place, he is now able to pull himself up in to a standing position! It is always funny to walk in to his room when he wakes up and see him standing there staring at the door waiting for you to come and get him. It seems like just yesterday we had to keep his head supported all the time and now he can stand up. Wow! I definitely see why parents always talk about how quickly time flies and how fast kids grow up.
