We are in Prescott Arizona.
It's been 3 days since we arrived in Prescott, and it's time to blog. David packed everything so neatly on the day we left Provo and forgot his survival package, which included his computer, game, a holiday book about an engineer autobiography, etc.. So, we are using Kyle's and Marie's computers ever since. I will upload Yuna's weekly pictures once we get to Tuscan. For now, I just wanted to say hi and upload a few pictures from my phone.
Yuna with the first bow in which David reluctantly agreed to buy.
It has been fun to be around with family members. Fun to watch Amara and Yuna's interactions. Fun to listen to Marie and David's conversations. Kyle is a great example for discipline. He gets up early and leaves to coffee shop/library/work around 6 a.m.. He goes to bed by 10 p.m. for sure with clothes and a bag ready for tomorrow. As always, Marie organizes the house with fashion. The house smells nice even with two dogs. Marie and David have been watching sci-fi TV shows crazy, like even now.... I love visiting people and learning about them and good life style that I love to implement into my life.
Yuna did great sitting for 10 hours in the car coming up. David did fabulous driving for 10 hours by himself. And, I did amazing entertaining both of them. It took Yuna for a couple of nights to adjust to a new place. She now sleeps fine but we are leaving Prescott tomorrow to Tuscan. Another adjustment for her.
Amara has grown up so much. She is walking and talking. She's got diarrhea for 2 days now, hence she's been a little fussy mommy/daddy's princess. I did bond with her for the first day here though.
On Monday, we went to the Prescott gateway Mall and did Christmas shopping.
Tuesday, we planned to visit Sharlot Hall Museum but failed because David had a backache from driving so long. So we changed our plan and napped/read/played with Yuna and Amara in the house in the wood. Indeed, it has been a very nice vocation. I started reading Christmas Chronicles by Tim Slover. It was a book given to us last year in Cairo from Christensens. I also started crocheting. So I am enjoying my vocation spending time with David, Yuna, and family members, as well as reading and expanding my hobbies.
Now, I just remembered that I need to make a chocolate pie to enlighten the day of visiting Grandpa Gurney and Danny tomorrow even more. I am so excited to see them and hope the visit goes well. Love to all.

Teething
Oh no----!!!! Our Yuna baby is becoming less babyish! She climbs, stands, holding on to something, and eats regular rice. She even started teething yesterday and had a difficult day today (reported by David).

Week 32
Makes me laugh.
It makes Yuna laugh, too.
Recently Yuna has learned to climb up objects; thus, a superman pose with an accomplishment-and-satisfaction smile.
On November 30th, I put up the Holy Nativity from Cairo. Yes, this is a big accomplishment for me since I procrastinate putting up Christmas stuff. Since I procrastinate putting them up, off course, the natural outcome is to procrastinate putting them away. In fact, some of the Christmas stuff stay out through the year, like I did with poinsettia plants last year. It saved me from all the hustle of putting them away, finding them, and putting them up again. I actually felt "lucky" when I recognized the existence of the poinsettia plants, sitting at the corner of rooms from last year. Then, I felt ashamed and resentment of my laziness.
When I came home from work tonight, all the lights were off. This is not surprising since David likes the dark. What surprised me was I found David and Yuna viewing all the Christmas lights of the neighborhood at the corner of a room in darkness. He told me it calmed her down. Even Margaret talked about how Asher liked lights on their Christmas tree. So I went to the down stair storage room and the attic, hoping that mom took most of the Christmas decorations to brighten all the Kuwaitis. Probably, she or Matt actually did. But I still found some decorations around the house. Still enough amount to feel Christmas spirit in every corner of Normandy house if we decorated with. Will I do it? I hope I will be able to show you a lot of pictures of Yuna with Christmasy backgrounds in next few weeks, additionally, no Christmasy pictures after Christmas. Like the saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words," I want this venue to be a proof of my effort to improve my procrastination.
Oatmeal and banana for dinner.
