Busy, busy, busy...

I am happy to say that Maelyn's fever has broken and our little miss is on the mend! Phew!!

We originally had a few play dates set up for her this weekend and we were going to take her to daycare tomorrow -- but we decided to keep her home to make sure she gets some rest and doesn't catch any other germs before the big day.

Now that she is feeling better, though -- she is a whirlwind of activity! And it is very hard to pack with an energetic four year old hanging off your legs....

Things around here have been very, very busy!!

We installed Ailee's car seat in our new vehicle -- that made things feel very real!

We got our shots and took our Dukoral to make sure we stay healthy while we are away. Maelyn was an absolute trooper. She went into the doctor's office, rolled up her sleeves, and with tears in her eyes asked the doctor to give her a needle so that she could go and get her sister.



We have spent hours getting paperwork done and ready for travel.

We got festive and decorated the house for Christmas. The tree is up and ready for Santa (or, 'Ho Ho,' as Maelyn calls him). The presents are purchased and wrapped.

Moving the furniture to make room for the Christmas tree...

Such a strong girl...

Silly girl... :)



All the decorations ended up in one section of the tree...hehe!


We have packed, but still have some packing to finish tomorrow.

We cannot wait to be on the plane -- heading towards our Ailee and not even thinking about our to-do lists!!
