Dallas... the lone star state...

I'm here!!! We made it to Dallas! Well we did about a week ago.
It feels AWESOME to be here again. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I got here. All the craziness is over... the move, the goodbyes, the packing... DONE! I can relax and enjoy the summer with my family.

Before we came down Vienna and I stayed an extra 10 days to make our rounds to the family and say our goodbyes. We drove up to Fort McMurray to see my sisters and their families for a week. It would have been such an awesome week if Vienna didn't get so sick during the whole trip. There even was a few hospital visits during the week and an IV for her. It was so sad to see her so sick in the hospital with this huge needle in her hand. But I am also very grateful for modern medicine. I don't know what I would do if we couldn't take her in. I am glad to report she is BETTER! It was so sad to see her suffer. Vienna is such a people person and during that whole week she didn't want anyone but mom. It broke my heart to see her so uncomfortable. It is so good to have my happy and playful baby back!


It was awesome to see my big sisters... Vienna being sick put aside. I really have missed them so much! I hate them being so far away from me. I wish we were all closer so they could see V grow up. I miss my nephews and nieces a lot too. I can't believe how grown up they all are.
This month I have two of my nephews hitting land mark ages... one is turing 18 and the other turned 21 yesterday. That is right I have old nephews! I love them so much! It was awesome being able to visit and be silly with them. Growing up they were more like siblings than newphews... since we were all so close in age pretty much. It was fun to remember the old days and to share laughs.
But now I am in Dallas! I am here... and I am so in love with the heat and the sunshine! It was weird... I left from Calgary last tuesday morning and it was a cool and crisp spring morning... and when I got off the plane it was hot and humid... instant summer. It was weird how in a few hours so much changed!
We were able to take Vienna to the Fort Worth zoo the other day and it was the perfect day! The zoo was so amazing! You actually got to see all the animals... and up close. Usually in calgary you hit and miss... some animals are out and some are hiding in their houses. But at this zoo you saw them all really well. We weren't sure if Vienna would really get a kick out of being there since she is so young by she LOVED it! She did a whole lot of pointing and "ohhhhhhhhhhh'ing" hahahaha. She is so cute! We had so much fun! We went with Typh and Coby Cahoon and their two adorable boys! Oh how I love those guys! It was so cute, Nash (he is 3) would sit beside her in the double stroller and let her lean on him and he would hold her hand. So cute! Those boys are so good to her. They love having her around and love helping me. I wouldn't be shocked if she gets a lil crush on one of them some day. hahaha.

We also took her to the Cahoon's house to go swimming in their pool. She LOVED that too. They have this toy that she can sit in and covers her from the sun. She sat in it and kicked her way around the pool. It was soooo funny to see her skoot herself around. We were all so impressed with how much she loved this toy and being in the pool. This is so awesome because We have two pools in our gated community that I want to take her to during the day and I'm so glad to know she isn't scared of water and loves to play in it. That makes life easier indeed.
Jarom is doing so well at sales. He already has more sales halfway through May than he did all of may last year. So he is kicking trash and I am so proud of him! It was about 38 degrees celcious yesterday and it is may... I don't know how he handles knocking in this kind of heat. He amazes me. I'm so proud of him and I appreciate all his hard work.
It is sooooo cute to see how excited Vienna gets when he comes home at night. He usually sneaks in to our room where I am usually playing with her and he calls her name. She straightens up and the BIGGEST smile spreads across her face. She freaks out when her daddy comes home and I love it. I love watching the two of them play. They are so cute! I also love knowing that my little girl LOVES her daddy so much and has the best relationship with him. Jarom is such an amazing dad. I think that quality makes me loves him more and more each and every day.
Today is also my mommy's birthday! I'm sad that I have to miss it... so here is a lil shout out for my mom! I LOVE YOU CHERYL FRANCESCHI!!! I HOPE YOU HAVE SUCH AN AWESOME BIRTHDAY!!!
Thank goodness for Skype! It really helps us keep in contact with everyone... and it's free so really, what's not to love?!
I guess I should end this. Vienna is pretty much done her nap so I think I'll take her to the pool for a swim.
I am loving life here in Dallas... it is good to be home again!
Till next time...
