A Good Weekend

These past two weekends have made life here go by fast. Last weekend I made a surprise trip to Illinois to see my grandparents and sister Allison! It was fabulous! I was so grateful to be able to see them. I love them all so much, and KenLea got comfortable with them very quickly.

And this weekend my wonderful parents came for a very much needed visit. If I haven't made it clear, I miss home! I miss not having to feel like two minutes after getting out of the shower, that I need to shower again, due to this wretched humidity. Urg! I miss the mountains! I miss country roads. But, most of all I miss my family. Thankfully I have my grandma three n' half hours away and I can zip on over and see her, if I need it.
But, it was so wonderful, as short as it was, that we were able to see my parents. We ate food, sat around and talked in their hotel room, while watching and playing with my hilarious KenLea. I'm tellin ya, she is a hoot! We went swimming three times. KenLea loves to swim, and pretty sure if I took one day with her and taught her, she could be a Olympic swimmer the next day. Sadly they had to leave, but it really did help with my homesickness (approximately seven weeks left!). I seriously have the best parents! They are so supportive and loving. Can't wait to see them in my beautiful New Harmony!

And as for everything else. KenLea still likes to keep me going a million miles an hour. She loves to mimic everything, when she's in the mood that is. She insists on feeding her self. She loves to wear shoes, weirdo! She makes it hard to keep a strait face, while trying to tell her "no!" She is our little dancer. She loves pickles and strawberries. She thinks that having a picked up room, should be non-existent. She loves to show off her hill-billy smile, which we love! She can almost out run us. She wears size 18 to 24 months clothing. She likes to walk around in my heels. And she is just amazing. I love her more than I could ever explain. My mom always asks me, "Can you believe how much you love her?" Honestly, it's amazing. I can't imagine a love greater. I know that she was meant to be mine. I know that she was my daughter before we can to earth, and that this is all part of Heavenly Fathers plan. I'm so grateful for the knowledge and blessings of the temple, that we can have eternal families. Family and God really are the most important thing here on this earth.

This is what it looks like right after brushing it out. But, within five minutes it will go back to its ringlet curls.
