What a week! We are all very tired. Daddy went to his last classes as an undergrad and started his finals. They all went pretty well and Daddy was glad when he was finished. While daddy was studying and taking finals, mom and I tried to pack, sell things we were not storing or taking and organize a Christmas Program for the ward. By Thursday and Friday mom, dad and I were working non stop to pack, store, clean and organize so we could head to California. They really tried hard to get rid of stuff because I add so much to the collection. They were able to get rid of 7 garbage bags of clothes! On Friday I was a perfect little angel which worked out very good because mom and dad wanted to leave on Saturday. We ended up packing and cleaning pretty late into the night so we decided to sleep in at Auntie Richelle and Uncle Deejay’s and leave in the afternoon. It was Richelle and Deejay’s 25th wedding anniversary that day so we got to see the cute things Deejay planned for Richelle were treated to the newly built “In and Out” before we left. On Saturday we drove all the way to Reno, Nevada in a very tightly packed car. There was not an inch that did not have something stuffed in it. I was fine, but mom was pretty uncomfortable for the entire trip. Mom didn’t realize how trashy of a town Reno (no offense to anyone from there). She also felt a little funny carrying me through a casino to get to the hotel room but it was the cheapest room we could find. On Sunday we drove to Sacramento, California and spent a couple of hours at Auntie Andi, Uncle Adam and Cousin Marin’s house before finally making it to Alameda. This was the first time mom and dad travelled a long distance with me and I actually did pretty good. There was only one time I had a huge spanz attack. Mom had rushed to put me in my car seat and I was very uncomfortable. When mom fixed me we were all relieved; so much so that I smiled at mommy 3 times!! This made mom’s day and she was so happy the rest of the night!! I have smiled a couple of times since and hopefully will do it more and more as time goes on. I continue to grow and fit into most 3 month old clothes. My neck and legs are getting stronger and I talk more and more everyday. Life is good now that we are living for free at Grandma and Grandpa Wilcock’s house and my first Christmas is almost here. We hope every one has a wonderful Christmas and can spend as much time with family as possible.
