Hello friends and happy Friday!!!!
Today I’m joining Darci, Natasha, April & Christina for a little F.O.F. fun…and this time it’s all about our first week back in Kansas.
ONE.
It didn’t take this lady long to make herself at home at Gigi & Papa’s. What kind of new roommate strips down to their underwear and demands Mickey Mouse the minute they arrive anyway?!?
Good thing she’s so darn cute…
TWO.
My parents live in the country, which gives Arden lots of opportunities to play outside and explore.
It’s been a little chilly this week, but thankfully things are supposed to warm up on Sunday–which means we can make a few more visits to see our new neighbors!
Moooooo….
THREE.
We spent some time at my sister’s house this week and these two cousins had so much fun together (as usual). The best part was saying goodbye and knowing that it only meant a couple of days, rather than a couple months!!!
This makes everything worth it 🙂
FIVE.
To try and keep things as normal as possible for Arden during this transition, I took her to a couple activities this week that she’s used to back in Texas. We went to the gym (which looked EXACTLY like our old one, so I’m pretty sure she thought she was there. It made the childcare drop off easy-peasy!) and we checked out the local MyGym class. Although it looked a little different from the one back in Houston, she didn’t seem phased–she walked in and acted like she owned the place 🙂
The only heartbreaker was that she asked for her friends Henry and Sawyer that she usually sees at those activities. That’s a good way to make your mom cry, Arden! 🙁
FIVE.
It may not be much to look at right now, but our house is coming along! Drywall went up this week and the trim is happening next week! Going out to check on the progress is definitely going to become a hobby of mine 🙂
On top of all this, I’ve gotten to catch up with friends, spend lots of time with my parents, and hear one little nugget’s heartbeat at the first appointment with my new doctor. Pretty great first week if you ask me!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
So glad you've had a great first week and that Arden is adjusting well… there's nothing like being close to family 🙂
So glad you guys had the opportunity to make it back home. And there is truly nothing like the country! It's a great place to grow up if I do say so myself! (:
Stopping in for the first time from the link-up… Your daughter is too cute! Hope things continue to go well as you all transition. Have a great weekend!
We love our baby gym! And yay for getting your girlie together with her cousin 🙂 We live close to my sister & her daughter and it's so much fun to get the girls together.
Yay for the ease in adjustment so far! She is an absolute doll and SO excited about the house plans coming along! Hope you guys have a great weekend and get to play with some moo-cows! haha xoxo
My son loves his gymnastics class. It's such a great way for them to burn off some energy. Arden is absolutely adorable. I love the first picture with her striped down and demanding Mickey Mouse. Smart girl! Have a great weekend. Stopped by for the first time from the link up and love your blog!
How fun that your bAck and able to spend time with family without the "I'm leaving in a few days" feeling! Just to let you know I do kindermusik with Scarlett and it's probably one of my favorite activities I do with her in kc. I'm not sure where you are at but it's in brookside. They just ended school year classes but they have some great summer classes!
Your daughter is precious! Congrats on the new baby!
Ahh doesn't being close to family just make all the difference in the world?!? So glad you guys are close again!
SO glad the transition is going well!! & I am super excited to see the finished house!!! Happy Friday mama!
So glad I found you through the "Five on Friday" link-up! Although we live in Dallas, Kansas will always be "home" for me! So glad you can be close to your family!
Arden you are killing me! I'm so happy I can kind of get me Arden fix here!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
I didn't realize y'all were building a house. Where have I been?? Anyway. I can't wait to see it! I'm sure it will be breathtaking!
That cow looks like the perfect chick fil a model. It looks so beautifully fake! Can't WAIT to see the house as it comes along! Oh and tell your preggo friends about my maternity giveaway running through Sunday! 🙂
Looks like you guys are settling in well! Yay! Arden is such a cutie! I'm glad the move transition is going smoothy for her 🙂 And how fun to get to watch your new home being built!
Glad to see the move is going well. Excited to see the progress on your home. Such a fun process!
How fun! I posted a cow pic on my 5 on Friday today too!
Cow neighbors make excellent neighbors haha! It is so fun to move back to family, we did that from CO to FL. It was so nice having all those lovely faces to see all the time! Just a little sad that Arden was asking for her TX friends, I'm sure she'll make lots of new ones though.
I'm excited to see your homes progress too! Love stuff like that.
So excited to follow along with the house and transition progress!
Sounds like a great first week home! Enjoy your weekend! Can't wait to follow along with the progress of your new home (and new baby!)!
Sounds like a great week back home! I was wondering if you guys were building or looking for something…that's exciting!
Yay for a great first week! And a gymnastics class, so fun! 🙂
