I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I enjoyed spending time away from work and with my family. It seems like when you child is in daycare, you don't really get to spend much time with them during the week. We spent the holiday in Kermit Texas again this year. The tricky part of the drive nowadays is timing the stops so that Allie has enough time to get out of the car seat. If we skip a town and move to the next one, we have to make sure that we can make it before she wakes up. On the way home I didn't feel as rushed as I usually do to make good time (guy thing). I was having fun listening to the audiobook we got and just being close to the family. By the way we listened to Twilight. I thought Veronica would like it, and I wanted to see how it compared to the movie. Honestly it wasn't too bad of a read. I could have done with less of the Edward is so hot, and I'm so in love with Edward...anyways. During the drive we stopped in Sonora or Ozona, I always get them confused. Right across from the Town and Country store their was a park. We thought it would be nice to stop there and let Allie play for a while. I am glad we did because although we were only outside for about 20 minutes, it turned out to create some of the best moments of the week. Allie, Mom and Dad played on the teder toder together. Another first for my little one. She enjoyed it. She also got a chance to go down the biggest slide I think she has ever seen. I have it on video, I'll have to upload it so you can see. She goes down backwards and looks like she is loving it. I guess in the end it pays off to slow down and smell the roses. Like Robert Frost says, we took the road less traveled, and that made all the difference.
