Tenessee: Take I

No, blogs do not take vacations. They really can't. Especially mine since it's more like our family journal. Too bad, huh? Sacrifices. It's all about sacrifices.
So Dillan, Leah, Grandma and I all boarded a plane headed for Nashville. We haven't been here since Dillan was 1. My sister Shannon lives out there with her husband and two kids, the same age as mine. The plane ride was not too bad. The flight attendant even talked Dillan into helping her collect garbage from the passengers. It was the first time he didn't shy away from speaking out his name to a stranger! They announced it over the intercom and he received a roaring applause from all passengers. My little superstar!



We've had a lot of fun playing, laughing, dressing up, making silly faces, trick or treating, and celebrating Roxy's 4th birthday. Dillan and Roxy average nearly 3 arguments a day where they insist they are no longer friends and will not speak to the other. They've been really good about apologies and making up. Dillan gets pretty brave when she's around, but also competitive.



We carved pumpkins then headed out to Trick or Treat. Dillan was Spiderman, Leah Sleeping Beauty. Staying true to character, Leah slept most of the time we were out.




Never faltering from tradtion, even silly ones, we wore our BYU GameDay Apparal to Roxy's birthday party at the park. Daddy called that morning to check-up on us.

The landscapes out here are beautiful. Trees everywhere. The leaves are breathtaking, with so many mixes of reds, yellows, oranges and greens. Dillan has asked why the leaves change color. I told him because Heavenly Father wanted it that way. Thinking twice, I should have explained why the leaves at home don't change like these, but maybe he won't notice.



We're having so much fun being altogether, even though we miss our Daddy a lot. Dillan woke up one night wanting to sleep in Daddy's bed. But, we're staying strong and making the most out of our time with family. They're great!
