A little summary of the past few days.... Christmas was beautiful and white (yes, we got snow and icey roads here in DFW just so that we don't miss Omaha too much ;).) We spent Christmas Eve at our friends' house in Lewisville where the kids got to open early Christmas presents and enjoy a nice dinner. As I was coming down with a cold, our Christmas dinner was very simple yet yummy (smoked ham, sweet potatoe casserole, green beans casserole, bread rolls, fruit cake/chec, and gingerbread cookies), and we gobbled pretty much everything down. Ella loved all her presents (and she got quite a few) and so did we! Thanks mama. tata, family, and all the dear friends that spoiled us with gifts. They were all lovely! Then I got really sick with this cold, thought it was the flu, went in to see a doctor, started some antibiotics, didn't see much improvement, so went back in to see another doctor, and I'm finally a little bit better today. Been pretty much miserable having gotten no sleep two nights in a row but still happy and grateful for my blessings. It turns out that it's my allergies acting up. Hopefully I'll get them under control.
We're so proud of out little Ella, she adjusted so well already to her new school, she is in the pre-kindergarten class, loves her teachers and is working on making new friends. She did confess to me that she misses the Goddard school friends and teachers. That was indeed an awesome place for her.
We love our new hometown, lots to do and see, to connect with. Unfortunately haven't been able to do much of anything due to my being sick but I so look forward to getting out of the house and doing some more exploring. Looking forward to meeting our ward, already got in touch with the bishop and the Relief Society president and they seem really nice, found out we have a returned sister missionary from Romania living in the ward, excited to meet her, a couple of families in the ward living right next door and across the street from us.
In a few hours Romania will be ringing in the New Year in, so I'd better hurry and make my phone calls as the lines will get crazy busy through tomorrow.
Happy New Year everyone!!
La Multi Ani!!! Sper sa te simti bine in curand.
ReplyDeleteImi place tare mult caciulita Ellei cu masca de fata. Unde ai gasit-o?
La Multi Ani si voua!!! Cand ati si reusit sa faceti atatea, abia v-ati mutat inainte de Craciun si deja Ella merge la preschool??? :-)
ReplyDeleteCina de Craciun mi s-a parut delicioasa; ce ai fi facut mai mult daca te simteai bine?!?!? :)
Super cu sora care a slujit in Ro. Sa ne tii la curent. Se pare ca va veti simti minunat acolo. Ne bucuram pt. voi si va imbratisam pe toti cu mare drag! Sanatate!!!
Dragele mele, multumiri pentru comentarii si urari de sanatate! Ioana, caciulita din poza este de la Walmart (au si altele "animalute" cum ar fi mielusel si dinozaur si altele.)
ReplyDeleteStanca, da pe Ella am inscris-o din Omaha ca asta a fost cea mai mare grija a mea/noastra sa ii gasim un preschool bun.
Sper ca si voi toti ati avut un Craciun si Revelion frumos si va uram din nou un Nou An plin de sanatate, realizari si fericire!!! Cu mult drag, noi!
Sper ca esti mai bine. Imi pare rau ca ai fost bolnava. Ma bucur ca ii place Ellei la scoala. E asa o scumpica. Va pupam pe toti si an nou fericit.
