We play!
Today was a pretty funny day, not really funny ha ha, more funny strange (but fun). We gals were still reeling a bit from the news yesterday and no one slept a whole lot last night. At breakfast we laughed about some of the dumbest things you can imagine. But we laughed a lot! We did the usual routine, play time then nap time and lunch. This afternoon we headed out to the "Western Can Goods" store. It is weird what gets you excited when you are away from the things you are used to. Barbie was phyched to find Dr Pepper. For Betsy it was Doritos. I was thrilled with chips and salsa. All these things and more are available at the Western Can Goods store. Check it out next time you are stuck here.
From there we went over to our new friends home for the afternoon. This is the couple I met through Ryan and Betsy - they live here in Vietnam with their 2 girls. Once again it was a great few hours of playing, being outside, being normal and a wonderfully comforting home cooked meal complete with fresh bread and salad...just like home (except I never cook!).
After dinner we swung by the old hotel to say goodbye to one of our families. Brian, Caroline and Ryan have been with us since day 1. I am so thrilled that they are heading out tonight. They will be an important part of our life forever and i am lucky to have them as friends. David and Ben leave tomorrow evening - they have been here since thanksgiving so I know they can't wait to hop that flight and see mom and big brother.
The pictures are of Trey having some great play time - first playing ball with me in the room (I realize he is filthy but it is from an orange this time, not crackers!), then riding the airplane outside (I did not make him do the safety demo first!).
When I logged in I saw it was -14 in Mpls. Maybe I am glad this got dragged out another week! THAT IS CRAZY COLD!!!! So bundle up and pour another cup of coffee, it is going to be a long weekend in MN.

Oh girl, you are hysterical! Love the blogs and look forward to reading them each morning.
Hang in there and have Trey give you a hug from me.

p.s. you are a GREAT cook! Think enchiladias and chicken chili :)
HI CINDY- you are amazingly funny and upbeat even surrounded with uncertainty. Just know that your 2 sisters pushed hard for you and now we hope to be able to see you 2 soon. We stayed way too long at M and T's for his birthday celebration- still playing/watching pool til 3- yes, I said 3 and so we're both moving rather slowly with this -10 or whatever it is. Hope things move quickly and you 2 can jump on a plane home for all of us to meet Trey. Go Packers - or Jets for those NY fans- hugs Stephanie
Cindy - Keep up your great attitude! Let us know if we can do anything! Trey is so darling on his little plane. Enjoy being outside! We miss you. Love, Molly and the gang
Hi Cin-
I'm glad to hear you had an upbeat normal kind of day. You sure are not missing anything here...Otis is about to bounce off the walls because I'm too big of a baby to walk him in this weather.
Warm thoughts-
peace-
Sandy
