Catching Up

So much has been going on! We had another showing last week, but they were looking for more of a backyard. Parent teacher conferences were last Wednesday and Sammie had a good report! She had a little bit of a rough start but has been adjusting well to her new environment. We were relieved when her teacher did not start the conference with a comment about Sammie talking too much! George and I are so proud of the work she has been doing! I took advantage of the warm weather this past weekend and put the Christmas lights up, but they will not be turned on until after Thanksgiving. We took the girls to see the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Erin kept calling it the meatball movie. It's nice that Erin is old enough to go to the movies now and we're hoping to take them more often. Erin is blossoming so much lately. She's talking more than ever and is participating in Sunday School, Greek school and daycare. We've also been working with her to have her blankie and suck her thumb only when she's sleeping. It started out rough, but with the help of her teachers at daycare, we are to a point where we rarely need to remind her to take her thumb out of her mouth! The girls and I took Nana to Glazed and Amused for some girl time. Erin painted a cat magnet and a fish for home and a butterfly magnet for Nana. Sammie painted a turtle jewelery box for home and a palm tree magnet for Nana. Nana painted a bowl for Papa's birthday. Sorry no pics! I forgot my camera at home. We also celebrated Yiayia's birthday by cooking and bringing dinner to her house. This week will be just as busy! Tomorrow we are heading to Cassandra and Sergio's to see how they've settled into their new house and Friday George and I are heading out of town for his boss's wedding while the girls head for a sleepover with Grandma-Great, Nana, and Papa.
