MARCE COMES TO TOWN

^^

Marce came up with the best FHE. We built a book of Mormon candy land game. The adults really really got into making the promise land, wilderness, and Jerusalem. Isabella loved playing the game especially moving the little guys around and putting them on the boat.

those two played shoo shoo train so much. someone loved taking all her friends with her.

I have been counting the days for this trip. The hardest adjustment I have had in moving in West Plains is being away from my sisters. We are like peas in a pod and I miss those peas so much! They are probably more like beans in a pod since we are Latinas hahaha. Well the day Cyndee left Marce got here and we partied 24/7. This trip was extra special and hard because Marcela and her awesome husband Davidson are moving to London, England so pretty much it was a goodbye trip. I don't know when we will see each other again but it won't be anytime soon unless someone wins the lottery. Well Marcela and Isabella hit it off like they had not been apart for 8 months. Marcela has been like a second mom to Isabella since the day she was born. Those two have such a special connection. It was also awesome for me to have so many breaks while those two played. 

We found out the zoo in St. Louis is free so we hit it up every time we went up to the airport, so twice. Marce got to go both times. I could write a whole post about how amazing this place is. Suffice to say we loved it. Short story about Isabella cause I can't help myself. She is obsessed with Curious George (we have decided she pretty much IS Curious George) so when we got there we told her we were going to go see papa de Gu (what she calls him). She found a gorilla that looked nothing like george and decided that was papa de gu. The gorilla got angry at one point and slammed the glass.The last month has been all about papa de gu and how he is loco and pow pows. The second time we went we told her we were going to go see papa de gu. The WHOLE drive (4hrs) she talked about papa de gu and how she was going to go see him.

Isa found this old camera grandpa Wells gave us and has taken on a new hobby: photography. She seriously takes pictures by herself. counts to three and says cheese. I need to post some of the pics she has taken. Most parents say their kids are geniuses but mine really is. 

As we dropped Marce off at the airport Isabella cried and asked for her "To". I teared up too and made myself not cry so Isa wouldn't get worse. I am in denial this sister of mine is across the world now. But I am so excited for her and all the adventures she is going to live!
