Random Pictures

These first few pictures are our visit to Salt Lake City to be with Grandpa just a week after returning from China. What a trooper she was!

She loved taking walks around the hospital with anyone she could convince to go with her. This time she was walking in daddy's shoes!

This is when we first arrived at the hospital. She had not seen Grandpa in 2 days and when we got to the hospital and she saw him she laid on him and cuddled for about 20 minutes. It was amazing seeing some of the most important people in my life love each other and make each other so happy!!
Grandma and Kenya at Uncle Dale's house.
This is Kenya doing the hair of our dear friend Jena in Rexburg. What a good sport Jena was. It was so fun hanging out with them while in Rexburg. We love you guys!
She was really brave and let Kenya put rollers in her hair.

These next pictures are of here in Libby. It is such a beautiful place! Today it snowed from the time I woke up and didn't stop for more than 1 hour all day! I loved it! Winter is so wonderful here! These pictures are not of today, but a few weeks ago, but you get the idea.


What a cutie! Kenya LOVES the snow! She is always asking to go outside and play in it. She loves to walk in the snow and throw snowballs. One thing we are glad she did not completely miss this winter.
This picture is out of the kitchen window at my parents house a couple of weeks ago.

Life back in Montana.

Well, since we have been back in Libby we have done a lot and really not been up to much. Crazy how it works out that way.

The first week we were home we were trying to adjust to the change in time. All of us had adjusted enough after just 3 days. I had a few nights where Kenya and I were up for 2-3 hours in middle of the night, but that also included extra long naps.

As you could tell we spend our second week traveling to Utah and back. Kenya was AMAZING again! She really didn't have a hard time with the 12 hour trip there and while we were there she did rather well too! The trip home was just as good too. We were able to break it up into two days because we stopped in Rexburg for a day and a half. We got to see some of our good friends still there and had a great time!

So, this past week we have had a fun time playing. We just been hanging out with my family and trying to get somethings organized and get our lives back on track. Kenya has loved having more people to play with and a little cousin to teach new tricks to.

Kenya loves to dance (still), play chase, go outside, play in the snow, and loves all the animals around. I think she loves the horses the most.

The other day when it was snowing she said, "I want to going flying in the snow." She meant it. She wanted to go outside and go flying like on the movie "The Snowman." Robert took her outside in the snow to try.

Kenya often thinks about her friends in China and asks where they are. All we can do is tell her that they live in China and we don't live there anymore. There are many people we miss and wish we could see.

That is all I can think to update for now. I am shocked that Kenya will be 2 years old in just a couple weeks! I am sure I have an update then!

Safe

Everyone is back at home and safe.

Traveling.

Well, tonight I spend a good 1 1/2 to 2 hours unpacking from China and repacking. We are headed to Salt Lake City for a while to be with my dad. He was flown down to the VA hospital there on Thursday and we are not sure how long he is going to be there. So, are going to spend a few days down in SLC.
Kenya has been such a great child! She has adjusted to everything really well! She has been on a good sleep schedule for about 3 nights now. We will just see how she will do with a 10+ hour drive.

Splendid China (one more vid)

Now this was amazing! It caught everybody off guard. Everyone saw the fog coming in and most of the lights were off. All the sudden this Green Cyclone Tunnel of Doom appeared and everyone gasped all at once!
