top ten!!!









nora found several nice arms to sleep in... uncle james took over (only until uncle david could fight him for nora!!) she and pop-pop slept very well (while mom got TONS more sleep in her own bed!!! thanks pop-pop!!) we met our new friend libby, and got to hang out with her. another day, we went to deacon's house and hung out with him and libby. unfortunately, nora did not find deacon funny! she screamed bloody murder every time he talked! the moms found it VERY funny!
nora found something hilarious that night... either knocking over the blocks or how funny grandpa haile found it! it's cute to hear her laugh!!

so, as i was getting ready to come back to san diego, i started making up a top ten reasons why i don't live in cleveland (it was the night that was the worst ice storm in THIRTY years!!) but then, i realized that it sounded so negative to say... 1. because of the ice storms. 2. because i don't have to scrape off my car before i drive it. 3. because sitting on the runway for three hours for them to deice the plane and clear the runway is obnoxious.... so, instead, i came up with the top ten reasons why i DO live in san diego...
1. i can be relatively safe with jeans and a t-shirt most days. (maybe a light jacket!)
2. i can be outdoors 51 weeks out of the year.
3. outdoor malls!!
4. great friends (okay, those are in cleveland, too)
5. i have never had to scrape a car, worry about ice or plan ahead for snowstorms!
6. i can see the snow, know that it's there, and drive only two hours if i REALLY want to see some!
7. i can see the ocean ANY day i want!
8. i can lay out in the middle of february (okay, most san diegans would think i was crazy, but i could!)
9. i can smell flowers blooming in december.
10. 74 and sunny!

alright, i hope you aren't too jealous!! love you all... it was a fun week in cleveland! i'll be back...
