Jonathon has had the past 2 days off of school for fall break and has spent every minute, I'll let him, playing with Avelyn. Avelyn is doing really well adjusting to the kids and the dogs. She's still fairly nervous around all 4 of them but she's getting a bit more brave every day. :) I'm so enjoying this little kitten she is one little ball of energy and full of surprises. She did very well last night and actually slept with me instead of playing! Every time I woke up I had to be careful to find her first then move accordingly. She's so light and little I can't always feel where she is.
I woke up with a very angry tummy this morning and have been dealing with it ever since. I added a few new pictures, I thought you all might like. The one of Mikayla was taken by Jonathon, he was on the floor and she was standing over him. :) But I thought it was pretty cute! (I thought that one needed explaining since the angle is a little weird.)
Last night we had a new friend come over her name is Kara. She's another spouse who's husband is deployed with Todd. We had a wonderful time hanging out and cooking dinner! She has even agreed to watching the animals when we make a trip home for Thanksgiving! :) Oh and you'll have to try the recipe we used last night! Oh my goodness the veggies were amazing! So yummy! It was celery, carrots, onion and sweet potatoes all chopped up in to bite size bites and coated in Zesty Italian Dressing and baked till tender! Oh my goodness I will be making those veggies again! Soooo good!
Tomorrow the kids and I will be going to dinner and a movie with some of the other spouses that have hubbies deployed. Kara is going to meet us here at the house and ride down with us. It should be a really good time! I can't wait! I hope everyone is having a wonderful night and I'll talk to you tomorrow. :) Well that's the plan at least!
