Yet again I am loss for words to write, as I am reminded by my lovely husband to write in our blog! It's interesting how fast he disappears when asked if he would like to add a couple lines of his thoughts! :) But he's right, I've been behind on the blog! Slowly but surely we are getting close to being done in Nacogdoches. We still have a two months left, but we see the light at the end of the tunnel. It does make us excited to be able to see, visit and catchup with all our friends and family back home! It doesn't however make me excited that we will be moving back to a COLD winter wonderland! I will miss this weather, can't believe I'm finally saying that!! We will for sure miss everyone we've met in TX!
To catch you up, our latest visitors to Nacogdoches, TX were Andy's parents. They arrived the night before Thanksgiving. The girls woke up Thursday morning to sounds in the living room. Their faces looked confused since they knew where Andy and I were, but who was in the living room? After a few seconds, Laila ventured into the living room to take a sneak peak. As soon as she discovered who it was, she ran back with a smile! We spent our Thanksgiving with good friends we made in TX. We enjoyed a wonderful cooked meal, visiting, kids playing and eating some more! After everyone went home, I decided to go to Walmart at 9:15pm! I asked Andy if he would like to join me, but i'll let you guess what he decided to do. It involves a blue shiny can and Andy sitting on a couch! So I went by myself and waited 25 minutes in line for a couple items. I was very pleased with how organized Walmart was! I was in and out in no time! The rest of the week/weekend was spent showing his parents around TX! We revisited the Drive-Thur Safari and said hello to all our animal friends again! Andy made a new friend/girl friend. A certain camel at the drive thru was very fond of him and proceeded to stick her head inside to give him a kiss. It was a fun day with great weather! Later in our visit, Laila and Lainie were excited to see Santa! Santa asked Laila if she was good? Of course her response was yes! He asked what she wanted for Christmas and she gladly told him a pink bike! Lainie just nodded the entire time he talked to her! Both girls stood in front of him like status and did not move! They were super excited to have talked to Santa! We enjoyed having Andy's parents here to celebrate Thanksgiving and to show them a little piece of TX we've been enjoying for the past 10 months.
December is here already and the girls are still growing like weeds!! Lainie has graduated into Laila's toddler bed! After a week of putting Lainie to bed in her crib and finding her on the floor the next morning with her blanket covering her, we decided to try the toddler bed since she clearly was telling us she did not want to sleep in her crib. Andy and I are thrilled she has taken it upon herself to get into a toddler bed!! So far three nights and naps during the day in the toddler bed!! Laila still tells Lainie it's her bed, but we are pretty sure Lainie has claimed it! Laila is still choosing to sleep on her dora layout couch! Whatever works I guess!! Anyways, we hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Till the next (soon)! EN
P.s. I've reposted this post from December 2nd just in case this has missed anyone! Enjoy!
