nothing like home.

We are getting all settled in our new house now. We know where our kitchen utensils are located, which light switch works the fan, most of the rooms are decorated. Is that what life is really all about though? As much as I miss Arizona (aka the Nielsens, Treeces, Phelps, Flakes, Simons, Pooles, Homers, etc) there is nothing like having my mom, dad and sister here throughout the week. Mom comes over every night. We usually swing by her work once a day because Dr. Foster's staff is also known as the Reese McPherson fan club but it is so great to see Reese's face when her Gigi walks in every night. Tonight was the best. Mom, Dad and Aunt Boo all came over for dinner and to play with Reese. Reese loves her Papa. It cracks us all up how mesmerized she is with him. They are best buddies the entire time he visits. Everyone plays, reads books and her favorite part? She can lead them directly to her playroom. It's kinds her way of locking them into her world.

I cooked turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans and we all sat around chatting and eating. I stopped for a moment taking it all in. Boo is only two hours away and Daddy an hour but I wish they were next door. Reese adores them all. Gigi luckily is five minutes away. I did grab my camera and snap some shots during our playing. I'm still working on her room but I'll post pictures as soon as it's complete.

Where's your belly? She kept showing us her belly and it was kinda chilly outside.

And then it became a game. Papa had to keep pulling her shirt down which she thought was hilarious...

Reese and her amazing Papa...

Where's Reesie?

There she is!

Then she decided to follow everyone into the basement. Daddy is so proud. He is working so hard to get it finished! Reese was testing paint...

And running around yapping to Papa...

After playing for hours with Papa, Gigi, Boo and Jenn Carter , Reese was exhausted. Guess when you're tired you gotta catch zzz's wherever you can...

Thanks for a wonderful night! I love you guys so much.
