Update #1 in Clovis New Mexico

So, Rylee and I are in New Mexico. I have taken a TON of pictures and a few cute videos BUT I left the cord I have to have to upload my pictures at home. OH well! Rylee and Aavary are getting along great for the most part. We have had a few moments where Rylee was being a little too rough. I would get down on her level and make her look me in the eyes as I told her "No....." and she would stop and listen and then get the WORST pouty face because her feelings are starting to get hurt more easily lately. Rylee calls her BABY. Rylee has been sleeping in Aavary's crib, in the room across the hall from the room I am in and she LOVES it! She has only woken up 1 night and even then, I gave her a binky and she layed right back down. I need to get her a twilight turtle like Aavary has because she lays back there at night and counts the stars (she can count up to 4) and talks herself to sleep, it is the sweetest thing ever.She wakes up and walks around the house screaming and looking for baby Aavary. It is so cute. Speaking of waking up, Rylee has not slept past 6:38 am since we got here and we still have 6 more nights here....UGH! I need a nap.

Heather and I have been having a few glasses of wine or a beer or two after the girls go to bed every night. It has been so nice to be back with my BEST friend/sister/cousin. We can go a year or two without seeing each other and everything just clicks the moment we get around each other. I love her! She has the first 4 seasons of Weeds. In case you are not familiar, it is a series on Showtime I strongly suggest it. I have watched all of seasons 1and 2 and we are 1/2 way through season 3!!!!! OMGsh, it is addicting. I am hooked.

We are taking the girls to the zoo sometime while we are here. It is a small zoo but I think it will be the perfect size for an almost 20 month old and an 11 month old. The weather is so nice here. I has been a lovely change from the 100+ degree weather back home. The high since I have been here is 94 and the low was 68 the second night we were here. We have been able to play outside and not worry about the heat. I am planning on getting Rylee some sidewalk chalk while we are here.

George ha been busy with work and he has called me once asking me to bring him something while he was at work, then he realised I am 6-7 hours away! He and Rylee have been talking on the phone every night while we have been here, he still wants to tell her night night and that he loves here while we are here! It is so sweet. Rylee gets so excited to hear his voice.

SOOO, over all this hass been a MUCH needed vacation for me. Regardless of having to get up early, which I do at home too, it has been JUST the thing I need before Rylee and I start school. I am relaxed and for the most part stress free! I will post TONS of pictures when I get home, we are leaving here on Friday.
