Life as a Hunton-Old Blog

I made it back to the US safely and was surprisingly not as tired as I imagined I would be. I spent two days in Nashville before heading to Houston, which is where I am now. It's so good to be back with friends. I am reminded of how sweet it is to "be" with friends. Talking on the phone is sufficient, but it's completely different and refreshing to be in each others' presence.

Michael has another review this week and will be home on Friday! We are both so excited about having time with family over the holidays. Speaking of family, I saw my niece, Taylor some before coming to Houston. I will share my favorite story of Taylor, and I promise it will be worth reading even though I don't have pictures on this post. :)

Characters in the story: Mom, Dad, David, Sara, Taylor, and me.
Setting: lunch at Jersey Mike's.

It was Saturday afternoon, and we met for an early lunch so "little miss Taylor" would be home in time for her nap. Taylor is smart. She knows how to push the limits so lovingly set by her parents (David and Sara)...especically when grandparents are around. Taylor had settled on sitting in Bubby's (my dad) lap and continued to eat her sandwich.

For some reason, Taylor thought it would be a good idea to slowly stuff her mouth full of bread. In the process, she dropped crumbs on Bubby's arm. She was cleaning the bread crumbs off his sleeve, when she quickly realized her mouth full of bread was not a pleasant situation. David and Sara, seated at the opposite end of the table anticipated her next move, knowing her solution to this problem.

Sweet little Taylor proceeded to turn Bubby's hand over in the shape of a cup, and before anyone else knew what she was doing...out of her mouth came the soggy bread. That's right, she spit it right into Bubby's open hand, so conveniently ready and waiting for her.

The uncontrollable laughter drew attention to our family in the restaurant, but we didn't care. The situation was surreal enough that we were trying to grasp the reality that it had even happened! Oh the joys of having niece who has no problem being the center of attention!
