Well we got back from Kentucky Tuesday night 9/5. We flew into Houston and stopped to eat and was home around 9 or so. Perfect timing for Nora.

She was great on the airplane!!! Both going and returning. On the way home during take off she was starting to get a little ansy in her seatbelt while we were taxiing out to the runway. I firmly told her she had to stay still and she whined a bit

... but when we were jetting down the runway I guess the force made her give in to her sleepiness because we weren't but 10 feet off the ground yet and I looked over at her and Nora had her arm stretched out on the armrest and her head on it and was dead asleep! :)

She stayed asleep the whole 2 hour flight and didn't wake up until we were at baggage claim.

We had a fun time at David's 15 year class reunion. He got to see lots of friends he hadn't seen since graduation. I chit chatted with all those who would listen haha not a bad time although I did feel like a wall flower for a while.

I didn't go to his school so all in all it was fun. I am glad we went. It was much better than my 10 year – which was a huge flop… I will spare everyone the boreing details! Let’s just say, “You might be a redneck if, nearly half of the people at the class reunion are the same people you eat turkey with each holiday!!!? ( I graduated with two of my 1st cousins.)

The weather in Kentucky was just like fall for us while we were there! It was GREAT! We loved the highs being in the 70's while we were there. At my Dad's we slept with the windows open at night even! Nora's vocabulary really took a turn in a new direction as while we were there she started speaking whole sentences that I had no clue she knew how to say!

My dad's wife, Clara had made a Red-velvet cake on Saturday and when it came out of the oven she held Nora up to take a look at it and was saying to her "Do you see MaMaw's cake? What color is the cake? Can you say red?" and Nora said "mmm MaMaw, it smells good!" It was so cute! :-) and of course Clara, being the proud MaMaw she is, had something to brag about at the Sunday dinner! And I am sure she will be telling about that for a while to everyone she sees in the coming few weeks ;)
