Well it sure has been a long time since I was actively blogging.
We flew out of Salt lake 2 Fridays ago and stayed a week in Oregon. We had a wonderful time seeing so much family but it was not restful. it was stressful, trying to make time for everyone and trying to pay attention to Arora's bed time. Since she normally goes to be here around 6 it was around 5 there. It was definitely hard and towards the end of the week it went out the window. Now we are paying for it. Arora just fell asleep and it is 8:30. We saw so many people (including a soon to be sis in law Ashley, and 3 baby nephews Ethan, Michael and Gavin) that Arora was pretty overwhelmed most of the trip and was so glad to be home. We arrived home on Friday around 11pm. She had been sleeping in the car and when I brought her in she instantly lite up and was so happy. She was pointing to everything and saying "ddddddd" meaning I'm home at last! Look there are my toys and pictures of me and my vacuum! We could not get her to settle down til around 1 am.
We are trying to get back in the groove here and classes went okay today. It is hard to believe that there is only about 2 weeks left in the term. We started decorating for Christmas tonight for FHE. We have this cool little tree that is lit with fiber optics. Arora loved plying with the stings of beads. We bough Arora's first ornament at a craft fair a few weeks ago and it was the first on the tree.
Arora started signing "more" all the time now. Especially for more blueberries, more peas and more carrots. It is so cute and it is nice to be able to communicate better with her.
