December Catch Up

Lots to catch up on! I just realized I haven't blogged since December 1st!

We arrived about a week and a half ago and everything went really smoothly. It was the first time to fly commercial with both girls. They did great. Kensley was a huge helper. She pushed Kallie in her stroller for most of the time. It slowed us down... a LOT.... but she was having a good time.

They were both great on the plane. Kallie slept a little bit and Kensley watched some movies I had downloaded and/or rented. When she was done, she laid down for a little bit (like, MAYBE a couple minutes) in Kent's lap. She had her own seat, so we had plenty of room. She even tee tee'd on the plane! I just knew she wouldn't go in the plane- have you ever seen those bathrooms?! But she did it :) I was so proud of her.

We landed and had to run to BAss Pro Shop and grab something and then we ate at Chick Fil A. I was ready to get back home and go to sleep! It was a long day :)


Since we've been here, we have just been adjusting. It's really taken a toll on Kensley this time around. I guess because she's getting older. She sleeps in a crib at home but my parents have a toddler bed for her. (and let me add, when we got here, my mom had it all ready for her with DORA sheets- the whole get up. It was SO cute to see Kensley get so excited. haha.... my mom knows she won't have Dora bedding at my house- so she can enjoy it here--- mean mommy, huh?) It's a nightmare trying to get her to sleep. Half the time she ends up sleeping in "mommy's big bed". I've had to lay with her until she falls to sleep---which is something I do NOT want to start. But it's the only way I can keep her in the room! Tonight was totally different than any other night.... eh..... whatever. Our lives are going to be so crazy the next couple months with traveling, who knows what will get her to sleep next month.... let's just pray it's not me laying in the bed with her. Kallie, on the other hand, sleeps fine; I expect that though. She's in a crib, so she's good to go.

So, with all that said about bedtime, that is the reason I don't have time to get on the computer much anymore! I usually get a nice break when I come here. Luckily, tonight Kensley actually went to sleep on her own. So I am trying to play catch up.

We go pick Kent up tomorrow--- yay! I can't wait to see him. It's been too long. Almost a week and a half. Not sure what we'll do, but we'll figure out something. I believe that's all I have to update on for now.
