My cousin Jen came up to visit from Sugarland last weekend. She hadn’t been up here since Nadia was baptized back in September and boy has Nadia changed since then. Most of Nadia’s waking hours were spent in playtime. Jen also ran around with me to complete a few pre-trip errands while Nadia napped, like getting my hair cut and so on. We all went to eat at Pappasitos’s. YUM!!! We had to have a little Tex-Mex fix before we are out of the country for a month. Jen also joined us for a trip to Fry’s to pick up a step down transformer and a couple of adaptors for the apartment. We were so grateful for her keeping the cuteness entertained.
While Mike was looking at computer software we wandered off and were watching some kids play “Rock Band”. I got all psyched out that I wanted to play the drums. So a guy who ACTUALLY knew how the game worked offered to play guitar and let me pick the song. I choose “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. It was so much fun, but I kept laughing and would get major off beat. Nadia was getting excited and pretending to bang drum sticks like me. So after we finished Jen and Nadia got in the drummers seat and I took up the guitar. We failed the song 3 times in a row because I just couldn’t get my groove on, but Jen and Nadia were great drummers. Another guy came up to play guitar and I switched to bass. MUCH better and we didn’t fail the song. I have got to tell you that “Rock Band” is a really fun game. I have seen it on a TV review and on other people’s blogs. It was great fun!!
On Sunday Jen and I went to church so that I could get some KIDS HOPE stuff done. After church we went to lunch with a friend from church. We went to Pei Wei because “it’s tradition.” Then we came home and Jen got some more Nadia time in before she had to head home and back to life as the super duper Jr. High Spanish teacher that she is. (Teacher of the Year I would like to add).
Thanks for coming to see us Jen! You know I adore you and think that you are one of the most awesome people that I know. Your sweet heart and love for God have been a great example to me…..from the time we were teens and I wanted to be like you 🙂 And from that I learned about the Lord, and became addicted to PJ’s.
This photo is of Nadia in her Apple Hat that was made by Leigh at Mike’s office. TOO CUTE! And oh my gosh I love this photo of Nadia!
And some shots of tooth brushing.
Peek a Boo with Mama!
Nadia is great with the spoon!
And finally so tired after all that playing. Notice you can see the stem and leaf on the hat 🙂
