The L.A. Dime

We arrived in KY on Christmas Eve and had a chance to see the immediate Riddell family within a few hours. Mom-Mom Saundra cooked up a yummy pork chop meal with lots of veggies and of course a lovely selection of desserts.
The next few days were filled with quality family time (cousin Sawyer and Sophie explored the Newport Aquarium together) and enjoyed many hours of running after each other and playing together. I got to spend some time with my two best friends in the world and we celebrated New Years Eve with a large group of UK Lambda Chi’s in Louisville. There was a bit of snow and even though it wasn’t enough to make a snowman (or even a snowball for that matter), I loved every minute of the clean, crisp, cold (it got down to 7 degrees!!!) weather. We also checked out the Cincinnati Children’s Museum which we were extremely impressed with.
I know I’ve said this before but I just love being home. I realize that it probably has a lot to do with the fact that when we’re there, we’re usually on vacation, everyone makes themselves available to see us and we don’t have to worry about making dinner, doing laundry or any other of those life responsibilities. But beyond that, it’s where I feel truly at peace and I was so happy to have seen Sophie play with her cousins and have a chance to catch up face to face with family and life-long friends. We are also very grateful for the effort Mom-Mom and Pops puts forth to make our stays memorable and enjoyable.
