MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR (as it is almost Valentines Day!!)
 
I am finally getting a few minutes to update what has been going on in the the last month of so.  We are currently living in a hotel in Arlington, VA while Lee does training and we prepare to leave for Paraguay on the 28th! We have had a great time being in the US and seeing our families.  But two kids sure does make for a different kind of "vacation"!!  
This post will be of pictures from our time in Memphis with Lee's family.  They were so gracious to babysit EVERY day so that Lee and I could get out and do things like spend WAY too much money at Sam's and buy a car!  All things that we wont see for months when it finally arrives in Paraguay.

Jane and Ola came to visit several times.  Kinley loves Jane because she gives her York Peppermint patties!!  I took tons of pics of her eating them with her, but they somehow got deleted :(

Kinley loved being in Memphis.  Mimi had lots of toys for her to play with and she loved the slide she had for her!  Thanks for everything!
