Our Week

     I haven't blogged in about a week, so It's time to catch up! Our week has been pretty laid back ... except for Tuesday, but I'll get to that in a bit.
    Aaron had a late work call on Monday, so he was able to sleep in and help out with Connor in the morning. I stayed home and did laundry most of the day. 
I had a really cute helper.

Big News

There is so much for us to do before the move, but we are both very excited!

Our Snow Day

    The weatherman was right, for once. He predicted snow, and we got snow! It started last night, so I was excited to look out the window first thing this morning to see just how much it snowed over night. It was kind of like waking up on Christmas morning as a kid. The yard and field in front of our house were covered in a thick, white blanket of snow. I thought there was only going to be an inch or two, but there was at least 5, if not more. It was beautiful. I put on my robe and ran outside to get a few pictures.

Sunday Funday at the Park

    On Sunday, we had to waste a couple hours before dropping Chrissy and Pappy off at the airport. We decided to go to the park so Kylie could run around and Pappy could take a nap in the car. We weren't familiar with the area, so we had to look up a park on the GPS. We found one close to the mall we were at, so we just went there. I am so happy we did because it was a beautiful park!

Picking Up Kylie

    As I mentioned yesterday, we finally got Kylie back home to North Carolina. She was in Texas since we visited during Christmas. We weren't able to fly her back with us, so she had to stay. Thankfully, my father-in-law offered to fly back with her this weekend. She has been gone for about 3 weeks, and we missed her so much. We got a text from Chrissy early in the morning letting us know that they were able to get on the flight and that Kylie was okay.We left at about 9:30 and Connor fell asleep almost as soon as we got in the car. He slept the entire way.
Chrissy texted us that they landed as soon as we got to the airport. Perfect timing! We parked the car in the packing garage and rushed to baggage claim. We were so anxious!
Aaron asked the people that worked in baggage claim if they were going to put her on the carousel with all the other luggage... we all looked at him like he was crazy for asking. Obviously they wouldn't do that to an animal.
 Connor and his Grandpappy

It seemed as if we waited for a long time, but it really wasn't. We could hear people behind the door, so we knew it would only be a little longer. Finally they opened the door, and there she was. As soon as she heard us, she started whining.
 There she is!
We took her outside so she could run around and get some energy out. One of the employees told us there was grass on the opposite side of the building, so that is where we went. Later, we realized there was grass right by where we parked, but we weren't paying any attention when we parked.
 Doing tricks for her daddy.
 Smelling her brother.

Chrissy and Pappy had several hours to waste before their flight back home, so we went to the mall to kill a little time. I can't believe I am saying this, but we didn't even shop. We walked around for a little while and then went to The Cheesecake Factory.
 He had fun up there!
 The guys.
 The cutest face I have ever seen!
 Connor was interested in the lemon, so guess who let him taste it...
Ugh, that poor face.

After we ate lunch, we went to the park (I will do a whole separate post on that tomorrow) and then dropped them back off at the airport. It was so good to see them for a couple hours, and we are so happy to have our other baby back!
