Family time

Our days here in St. George go by so fast that I don't think we have weekends. Actually, I take it back it feels like the weekend all the time. We have so much time in our hands and we spend it together. I love it here because it's so small and friendly and feels pretty safe to be out and about, it's very family oriented. Now that the weather has gotten pretty cold I think we will have to find some indoor activities and other type of entertainment. That's one of the things I miss about Dallas, there is more to do over there than there is here.

Anyways on Saturday we took Velani to Barnes and Noble for story time and let me just say that I enjoyed it more than she did. She has a real short attention span and well, she likes to do her own "reading" so I was paying more attention than she was to the author! yes the author was reading her newly released book "Granny McFanny" it is a cute book. I should have known she was the author instead of thinking that these storytellers had to memorize the books they were going to share for story time, duh!! it was one of those "blond" moments ( like my mom likes to put it. How can you call a brunette a blond?). After that, Clifford showed up and Velani couldn't be any more scared and excited than she was at the same time. Jahvel and I also had our fun.

We really spend more family time with the girls here and I guess that's what it's all about. I want my girls to really have a good childhood like I did and long lasting memories and I truly believe that this is the place and time for it. Jahvel is going to school and works as an interpreter when needed and gets to spend most of the day with us. I truly believe we are here for a reason, school for starters, but I know there is more and we still don't know what, but everything seems to be working out just right for us. Everything is falling into place little by little.
