Day 7.....

Day 7 can be named "Lazy Day" in our little hotel room.

Here is basically what we did all day....
This is why...(this is the sight outside our room).....

A dear friend, Dawn, reminded me to savor the simplicity of this time--of being able to focus on one child--our time here will soon be a memory!

So here is Kevin playing cars with our litle man....

I will leave you with a clue to Nathan's real name.... :)

Thanks for leaving comments for us...we love to read them. Caio for now!

    The snow is pretty, but I'd want to be inside, too! (Hey, we moved from SD to AZ for a reason, you know!)

    Thanks again for your kind comments....it helps to keep us going!

    Stephanie....Do you mean the Woman's World Magazine article from Feb. 2010? If so, I will send you a copy when we get back home.

    Kelly & Gretchen...thanks for stopping by! And Gretchen....is your little "Ross" named "Stas"? We took your cue and decided to keep Nathan's real name because of a post you did, if I am remembering the right gal? We agreed that his name is the only thing that has ever been his. We had never thought of it that way until I read your blog. (unless it was someone else's :)

    Love, Paula
