We got the "okay" for Dan to travel from his doctor and his boss about an hour before we made the drive. That was so exciting to have him home with us. He was to be in training in Indiana right now in prep for Afghanistan so each moment I have with him I count as such a blessing. He's healing great, by the way. Still on crutches but back to work tomorrow!
We stayed at my parent's gorgeous home at the Waters in Montgomery. It is such a resort-experience for me and Dan each time we go home. It is right on the lake and is the most magical place.
On Saturday morning, we loaded up and drove South to Troy in time for the awesome Troy Homecoming parade. It is always one of the highlights of my year! Noah loved it. He was beside himself, he had such a great time. And of course, my parents loved showing him off all day!
At the game, we sat in the Chancellor's box and enjoyed seeing so many great friends. Dan kept his foot propped up so being in recovery was great for him: it meant he could actually watch the game instead of having to socialize!
Noah kept everyone entertained throughout the game. He (of course) went right to his sweeper that they keep in the box and began cleaning the place. He's obsessed with cleaning supplies still! At one point, he went up to the Alabama Speaker of the House, the Alabama Governor and an Alabama State Senator who were all involved in a deep discussion and began to sweep their shoes. I couldn't believe it! But they laughed and let him. I got a picture of him in action. It was so cute.
We took our dog Piper with us this time since Maria has passed away. We didn't want to leave her alone so she made the long trip. She did great in the car and had such a fun time with her cousin, Ruby (my sister's 100+ lb Rhodesian Ridgeback). They tore the yard up but had a great time nonetheless!
Enjoy the photos! And Happy Fall! We LOVE this cooler weather and changing leaves - it is our first fall in 3 years.
