It was next to impossible but we said farewell to Rae, Jed, Lexi, and Nolan and headed back to the bluegrass state on New Year's Eve. Our visit was so nice, relaxing and time spent cuddling with Nolan will be cherished for a lifetime. Did I mention that I have the cutest nephew in the world? Nolan and Rae will be visiting us in March during Rae's spring break. Yeah!
Our flight left at the butt crack of dawn and Jed was nice enough to toot us to the airport with all our luggage which included a sizable Christmas haul for Noah and Chloe'.
Note to self: pack lightly for the trip down because us Kinder women can shop like banshees and every bag has a weight limit!
Upon arrival the temperature was a tad bit cooler but other than that it was uneventful. Justin picked us up at the airport. Our luggage arrived (a belated Christmas miracle)!!!! And we spent some time playing with Logan and Riley Kate before driving back into Pikeville to celebrate the New Year with our best friends and neighbors-Dustin, Leslie, and Madi Williams. I am embarrassed to say that Danl and I were too sleepy (our day had started at 3 am over 1,200 miles away in San Antonio!) and were fast asleep (with the TV tuned in to Dick Clark) and missed the ball drop. It was the first time in memory I missed the new year :( I stayed awake until about 10-15 minutes til midnight but I couldn't keep me eyes open another second!
However...The week gets better!
What is the one word that teachers since the dawn of time have longed to hear?
Education? No.
Knowledge? No.
SNOW! Yes, we got snow!
Not only did we get snow we got several inches of snow and three days off! Yes, it's true Wednesday-Friday were snow days! (Another Christmas miracle if you ask me!)
I spent three glorious snow days reading (I finished Pillars of the Earth), napping, putting away all the Christmas decor (Ggrrr), and missing my sis. :(
Leslie, Chloe', Madi and I went to Peking for dinner on Friday evening. Second semester starts Monday-Have a great one!

Just found your blog! Looks great! Sorry we missed you and your family over the break. Looks like you had a great time! Your comment on our blog cracked me up! You're hilarious! And I can just picture your family standing on the curb at the airport waiting to be picked up. Too funny.
