Our first week in Zionsville


We've had an eventuful week--we're trying to get in the groove of things and try to reach a "normalcy." Michael is working hard and seeming to enjoy himself. He's now started his research, which means he'll start getting paid, which is pretty much AWESOME. :) Here's some pics of our first week in Indianapolis.
Thursday we went to the "village" which is a cute little part of Zionsville that has a lot of tourist stuff. Every elemementary school in Zionsville has a "Nature walk" built for the kids, so we went and hiked it. It was way pretty. Parts of it looked like the sacred grove--a lot of green, which is a treat coming from Wyoming. :-) The kids loved catching the tadpoles and running around exploring.

Later that day we went to Shane & Claire's for a barbeque and she has a kiddie pool set up for the kiddos and Stetson went crazy. He loves the water. Plus we saw fireflies that night for the first time and it was pretty sweet. I tried to get a pic, but no luck.


Today we drove to Indianapolis. We don't actually live there, we live in a suburb of Indianapolis-Zionsville, which is the CUTEST town EVER. Brandon & Amber took us on a drive last night and I saw some of the nicest houses I've ever seen in my life. EVERYONE keeps their houses in tip top shape, including landscaping, everything. I feel like I'm in a fairy tale sometimes. Anyway, so this is the hospital where Michael works every day.

This was at Champs restaurant in downtown Indianpolis. Stetson LOVED his chicken strips and fries
