Behind as Usual...

Will there ever be a Rodden blog that doesn't begin with an apology for tardiness? Well, not this time anyway. We're sorry.

Anyway, life has been crazy as usual for us since our last post. First of all, we had a desperately LONG drive to and from Indiana (and Michigan) for Christmas in Richmond, a basketball game at IU, and Nichole's baby shower (as I type, Nichole is being induced...baby Hadley Grace Carr will be with us soon!)

Christmas at the Carrs' is always full of excitement. This year included a small fire.
Jake was bummed about the rolls that went up in flames.

The culprit napkin.
Good thing Jenny pays attention to what is happening when none of us do!

Yummy dinner with 3/4 of the Carr family.

Go Hoosiers!

This is the best venue for college basketball anywhere!
...doesn't he look so good in that crimson jacket?!?...

A late night stop or the BEST breadsticks in the WORLD!!

Christmas in Michigan with the McCauleys.
All Joe wanted was a white Christmas...all he got was wet grossness.

They love looking outside and watching the little ones play.
Aren't they adorable?

The whole Carr family together...a rare occurrence these days.

C'mon little Hadley! We are ready for you to be here!
