Things Layla has said/asked:
what is jogging?
what is skiing?
What is a sweatshirt?
can I touch the ground? (it had just rained and was really wet)
What is a service? (talking about a church service (= )
The kids are real troupers. And lest you feel terribly sorry for us with all the transition, I have to let the cat out of the bag and say that our kids are super sleepers and will sleep just about 11-12 hours straight from the moment they go to sleep. So really, all this lugging them here and there isn't so bad (=
We are in a basement apartment of a friend's house here in MN so that is a great set-up. We have a rental car and lovely places to play so we are doing well. Layla did get up early this morning and say "mom, sometimes I just wake up and am scared because this isn't home". poor kid.
Tom finally bought a new phone (thanks dad for the I Phone but it was dropped one too many times and the screen cracked in the corner. figured we should FINALLY get him a new phone). He has been wanting the samsung SII for ages and ages but just couldn't bear the price tag. Finally after the SIII has come out he is willing to do it. So we bought it the day before we came to the US and he is IN LOVE WITH IT. Just a tad irritating at how much he keeps looking at it, but that is because it is so darn useful. I must say that I have never been enamored by the smart phone world and never felt a pull to jump in, but let me tell you, this little phone is amazing. I think it really is useful during this period of travel in our lives, but I'm not convinced it will really make a difference in my normal life back home (= We have two other samsung devices that were given to us and we just recently discoverd that they ALL have GPS all the time! even without a data plan! So useful for people going on a massive roadtrip.
anyway. It does mean that I am still hanging up on people a bit as I sort out the new phone, but WHEN i get a chance to use it, I am learning fast (=
