Home from vacation - for 2 weeks now...

Well, we left phoenix and drove to Durango, where we went out to eat and then stayed the night at a hotel. Mom and dada love durango and dad has decided to move there. Mom wonders how she is ever going to balance dad's dreams with reality, even though she loves the idea herself.....
We had a great drive home, but about 2 hours before we got home, mom shut down. She just couldn't talk to and entertain us for a second longer. Dad did a great job picking up the slack, and he caught mom smiling at his singing while she was engrossed in her harrypotter book.

Jumped right back in to the swing of things when we got home - went to swim class the next day, and mom had to work the day and then gymnastics on thursday. Grandma and jiddo came in to town for the weekend - it was aunt nada's 40th birthday and my cousin tia's 4th birthday and there were lots of parties. I got to spend the night at grandma and jiddo's house with my cousins while there were at aunty nada'sbirthday party.

Last weekend we went over to play at tia's house while aunty lara and mom went for a "long" run - they are training for the bolderboulder race on memorial day. Uncle raja watched us - that was different. Then on sunday - mother's day - we had breakfast in bed with mommy (actually we ate on the floor next to the bed), and then left the house bright and early because mom was volunteering at the title9 mothers day race. She was filling cups of gatorade and handing them to all these women running by, and she showed me how to do it and i did! I was so excited each time someone would take a cup from me. Mom was so impressed at how good i am getting at following complex instructions and how grown up i am. Mom and dad were both impressed because we had to ride our bikes to the water station and it was over a mile away from where we parked - so i rode 2 or 2.5 miles on my bike, up and down hills on a dirt road! We all had so much fun.

Talk to you later!
