Our week in Park City

We spent last week in Park City, Utah with Bill's family. We had a great time being with them! Sophie loved her Nana & Papa. At the beginning of the trip she didn't really have a name for her Grandma, simply because she couldn't say "grandma." She would just point to her and say nothing. We decided Nana was an easy way Sophie could identify her, and that stuck. Unfortunately for Grandma, she shares the name "nana" with a banana because that is what Sophie calls a banana too!

Here is a little re-cap on all of the excitement that happened during the week! And I use the word excitement in all of its forms.

1. Sophie decided she would remain on the Eastern time zone throughout the entire trip. Her naps were pretty short and the latest she ever slept in was 6am...once. Who needs rest anyway? It didn't end up affecting me too much because I have become an insomniac. Can't sleep. Awake from 3-5am pretty regularly. Yes, it stinks. This may have something to do with pregnancy and point #5. See below.

2. Prenatal Massage. Ahh. I spent a glorious hour getting pampered at the spa thanks to a Christmas present I had received from Aunt Joyce. It was fabulous.

3. Sickness. Sophie and Bill both got sick. Bill had to miss a day of skiing because he was down and out. Thankfully it only lasted about a day and a half for him. Sophie on the other hand is still recovering. She had an eye infection, a cough and lots of green boogies everywhere! She has been a trooper through it though and has been in a great mood.

4. Auntie Susie (Bill's sister) came to visit us for the last couple days of the trip. We enjoyed spending time with her and celebrating her birthday a week late. It was quite the event too. We went to eat at Loco Lizard, a great little mexian spot, and right after we ordered dessert, the power went out. And it didn't come back on. Sophie was a little scared, she kept saying "dahk, dahk." So we enjoyed our ice cream chimichangas in cell phone light :) It definitely made for a memorable occasion!

5. So what else happened on the trip you ask? Well sunday afternoon we received a call from our realtor telling us that
someone was interested in buying our condo. Sure enough, on Monday morning we had an offer. We were very excited! We have been praying about this for a while now. Selling of course, also meant that we needed to buy something. So we put an offer in on a house on Monday night. Now we are pretty much waiting and waiting to find out what may come from that. There has been a lot of back and forth, uncertainty, date changes, you name it! It is keeping us on our toes and keeping us praying for God's will to be done, regardless of the outcome. So please be praying for us too. We will be homeless in a few short weeks so we would love to know where we are going next!

And finally, some pics from the trip:

Sophie loved sitting with Papa and reading her book!

P.S. I'm super jealous of your massage. I had a prenatal massage when I was pregnant with Isabel and it was so wonderful. Glad you enjoyed it!
