2 Weeks Ago

The end of September/beginning of October was filled with fun things. One of the things was that my parents visited us for about a week. We were able to show them our house, Coppell, Reg's school, new friends, and all of the great shopping within 20 minutes of us. It was so wonderful to have them with us. Within 48 hours, my mother had us completely unpacked, organized storage, and decorated for Halloween. My dad cooked basically every meal (he loves to cook). Jenna was put down for every nap and bedtime by my mom. It was so nice to not have that responsibility for a week (she really hates bedtime). They attended Grandparents' Day at Reagan's school. We had a mini birthday party for Jenna (she turns 2 on Friday). And of course, the girls were spoiled with yummy treats, movies, toys, clothes, and all the attention that they could dream of. That week was the week that Ian was working a crazy amount of time. So it was great to have playmates while Ian had vanished. We really had so much fun.

Like I mentioned above, we celebrated Jenna's 2nd Birthday. She was so funny. With all of the clothes that she got, she kept on squealing. She was so excited. She even made me put it all on her, at once. Jenna was so excited about her cake and singing happy birthday. She loved every minute of the mini party.

The other thing that was really cute was that Reagan (the kindergarten at Lakeside Elementary) had a Nursery Rhyme Parade. The Kindergarteners dressed up as Nursery Rhyme characters and put on a parade for the whole school. Reagan wanted to be Jill from Jack and Jill. We dressed her up, curled her hair, and took a ton of pictures. She loved it. It was really cute seeing all of the costumes.

We have had a busy and fun past 2 weeks. And we are so glad that we could share it all with my parents. It is so nice to have family come and visit, especially when we are alone here in the Dallas Metroplex. We can't wait for more visits from everyone!
