Jonathan's parents rang in the new year on a flight back to the U.S. after a wonderful two week visit here in Jordan. We were sad to see them go, but are so glad we got to spend Christmas with them and explore parts of Jordan together. Yesterday Guy had some major readjusting to do. After two weeks with grandparents, a dad on vacation, and tons of one-on-one attention, he was somewhat miffed that life went back to normal. I spent much of my day getting our house back in order, making dinner, etc., all without the benefit of three amazing babysitters to keep Guy entertained while I worked. It was a rough day.
Jonathan had a smooth return to work at the English Center. He enjoyed going back to work, and his class this term seems to be a good group. I was sick for almost two months before Lou and Becky came, but fortunately I was healthy for their visit. All that to say that it has been a long time since life has been "normal" for me, so I am looking forward to being back in a routine once again.
Here are a few pictures from our final days with Mimi and Popop. I'll post several more of our adventures together in the days ahead.
Jonathan, Lou, and Becky watched Alabama football games almost every afternoon while Guy and I napped. I had to protect Guy's ears from all the Roll Tiding going on in our home the past two weeks. Jonathan and I will be staying up really late this week to watch the National Championship. Our teams face each other at 3:30 a.m. on Friday morning, and the winner gets the morning shift with Guy. Hook 'em horns!
Playing with Guy's new Leap Frog Refrigerator Magnets. Those two are good buddies.
Popop is SOOOOO funny.
Giving kisses. Guy's still working on his aim, but they are so sweet all the same.
