Just a quick update from Phoenix...

Rylie has had a great couple of weeks. We have been really busy between Rylie's first ear infection and stomach flu (all in one week!), Sara starting a new job, a bunch of trips to the park, Rylie starting gymnastics class, and a couple of outdoor festivals/ carnivals.

Last weekend, we went to WorldFest in Phoenix. It was a big festival downtown with activities, food, and music from all of Phoenix's sister cities. There were cities from France, Canada, China, Israel, Ireland, Mexico, Japan, and a few others that I know I am forgeting. No representatives from Kazakhstan, but still a fun, outdoor activity.

On Friday, Adam's work had a Welcome Home party for Rylie. It was a lot of fun getting to see everyone, and as always, Rylie had a blast.

This is when we got to Adam's office. Rylie was much more interested in exploring (and destroying) Adam's office than posing for a picture.

This is one of the fabulous centerpieces one of Adam's colleagues made for the party.

Check out those pigtails!

In case you hadn't figured it out yet, Rylie loves to be the center of attention!

Rylie also started gymnastics last week. She loves it. She is such a little monkey in the class- she loves hanging upside down and climbs all over the place.

Today we went to the Purim Carnival at the JCC. For those of you who don't know what Purim is, basically- Jewish children get to dress up twice a year- Halloween and Purim. And instead of going trick or treating, there is a big carnival with rides, music, food, etc. Here's our little lady in her costume...

Love to everyone....
