Have Family, Will Travel...slowly
Happy holidays everyone! We just recently returned home from our trip to Indianapolis to visit Danny's family for a really yummy turkey day:) Seriously...Laura made a crazy good meal and of course Kim and Jeff had an awesomely dairy filled app spread (which I can finally eat again!!!) We had to split the 8 hour trip into 2 days both ways...oh, the bathroom stops and baby who doesn't like to sit still very long. It definitely took the pressure off and kept us sane (i think). Anyhow, being up in scullyland is so much fun for the kids because there are almost a million of them! Once we land, we pretty much don't see kyla and logan until we leave. They turn into very self sufficient non-parent needing kids. They love it! Elliot had a blast being her party animal self and charming the pants off anyone who came in the room:) Laura and her family were super gracious in letting us invade their lovely home and turn it upside down for probably longer than they would like...so thank you thank you thank you! It was great to hang out with JoAnn (grandma Jo) who looks as luminous as ever. We also were able to hang out with Jenna and her husband Luke and their newest addition to the scully clan p Tyler. He is so big and such a good baby! Jenna is also such a natural mom and so great to be around. All those scully people are great...I know where my little girl gets her beauty and strength from. Of course, Elliot didn't sleep well which made me, yet again, not the most enjoyable person to be around...someday this too, will be different...right??? She is now full on walking and jabbering away. It's like we didn't sleep and woke up and she was all grown up. She is all day long hilarious. She very much reminds us of Logan with her sense of humor. She also has discovered dancing...best thing I think I have ever seen! I wish I could figure out how to post video because I have some of the sweetest and funniest video of her and her daddy dancing together. I can try to give a visual by saying that she starts out when she hears a song that she likes and throws her hands in the air and bounces them up and down in a hip hop way and then her next move is swinging her arms side to side...loves it! Thats my girl! Kyla is basically as tall as me now...one year and she has grown like 6 inches...not exaggerating! She is such a huge help and great big sis/daughter/stepdaughter. Did I mention that kids only text message people? No talking, just texting...ALL DAY! Straight A's, beautiful, and lots of fun to hang out with...feels like I am bragging but I just can't say enough about these kids...oops...Logan: 6 year old boy who loves his sisters, kung fu, all sports - but football (poor Danny...he isn't giving up)- super funny and witty. He has just started practice for his basketball team which now he is the youngest in the group so it will be challenging. We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of my bro Ryan, his wife Beth and baby girl Rayn next week. We are going to go to Charlotte to see a broncos game and my amazing friend Melissa. I love it so much when people come here because i can't seem to get myself and elliot on a plane yet. I miss my sis and her boy Braven but my first plane trip will be to see them in Phoenix. Ps...there is a lack of pix of kyla and logan which only proves that they were having kid fun!
