Shelli Moves, Stephen Visits

Shelli decided that she needed to move back to California. We were super sad to see her leave, but we know and understand that she had to do what was best for her. She has lived with us for the past 17 months & it has been great. She was such a great help with everything, especially Enzo. He loves his Aunt Shelli & they have a very unique bond. She could get him to giggle & laugh anytime. The minute he saw her come in from school or work at night or downstairs in the morning he would get the biggest smile & have to say hello to her. I loved having a sister live with me again, it gets lonely being the only sibling that lives away from home , so when she started discussing plans for hair school in Utah, I was thrilled that she would be living with us. We had a lot of fun running errands, shopping, baking & cooking. She was my second set of hands & I am so grateful for all that she did for me & my family while she was here. She is a wonderful friend & my favorite younger sister. ( I could say little, but I am much shorter than her) One day she will be a great wife, a loving mother & the best hair stylist in the state of California!!!
I miss her so much already & its only been a week & a half. 



There was one happy thing that came from Shelli moving & that was that our brother, Stephen, flew in to help her pack & drive home. It was great to see him & to spend a few days catching up with what was going on in his life. He is such a quick witted & funny guy, you really never stop laughing when you are around him. Enzo just loved him & thought he was a pretty neat Uncle.

Thanksgiving

We stayed in Utah for Thanksgiving this year. Although we missed our family and friends in California, we had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving Day. The Lundberg's allowed us to join in our their family festivities which were wonderful. The day started off with all the boys & dogs going pheasant hunting. The girls started prepping all the food for the Thanksgiving Feast. By the time the boys returned, it was time to eat. The food was all so great! Enzo loved the fact that he got to try all sorts of new grown up foods as well. He has been enjoying baby food since he was 4 months old, but likes to think he is a big boy & tries to eat everything on Moms plate. We finished the night off watching Christmas Movies.
