Randomness about our Routine and Indiana

I have mentioned before that I love organization, another thing I love is a loose schedule. I think of my day as having more of a routine. Our daily routine is something like this.
7:15 - 7:45 Girls wake up
8:00 Breakfast
10:00 Morning snack
12:00 Lunch
1:00 - 3:00 Nap (2 hours on a good day)
3:00 Afternoon Snack
5:30 - 6:00 Dinner
6:30 Walk
7:20 Bath
7:45 - 8:00 Bedtime

This is a typical routine in our house. I like our routine. The girls like knowing what is coming next. Everyone is happy with the routine. Although let's be honest, there are many days where things don't go exactly like this. Times get thrown off, nap gets pushed back, and that's okay. Things happen. Part of being a Stay at home mom is learning to roll with a lot of craziness in your day. Some days are not going to be perfect. There are going to be days you are ready to throw in the towel, but inevitably about that time during the day your kids do something absolutely adorable and you are reminded why you stay home.

Anyways, why talk about our routine, well our routine is going to thrown off soon. We leave for Indiana in 8 days and all the sudden I am starting to get nervous about my whole routine being off. Nervous isn't the right word. But I don't know what is. I am hopeful that the girls will adapt to the time change quickly. A 3 hour difference isn't the worst it could be, so that's good. Unfortunately last time we were there Mady had trouble adapting. Luckily though this time I know a bit better how to help them.

This will be Brynn's first airplane flight. Her first trip to Indiana, her first time meeting most of my family, her first time spending a night outside of our house. I have faith that she will be great. Well I hope so at least.

I am anxious to visit Fort Wayne. It's been about 14 months since I have been back. That's the longest I have gone without visiting. The last time we were there Mady was not yet 1 and I was pregnant. This time Mady is 2 and a spit fire and Brynn will have her first birthday. It's crazy how life changes so quickly.

I am going to try my best to see many people while we are there. I don't stay in close touch with many people from Fort Wayne, but I'd love to catch up. So if you are in Fort Wayne and want to hang out do coffee, take the kids out somewhere, let me know! I am up for anything! Well provided naps and bedtime do happen eventually...
