Down to One Week here in the AZ!

I'm so sad! It's finally getting to the good weather time of year and Alexis just loves swimming and everything, I don't wanna leave! :o) I can't believe the summer has passed this quickly! Time to go back to coldness! I hope Alexis does ok! She has loved her long-sleeved shirts so far, but not for more than a few hours! She hasn't worn socks or closed-toed shoes for four months!!! She hasn't even worn anything more than shorts! Poor thing! I'm glad she's not one of those kids that wants to be naked all the time, though! At least she loves clothes and shoes! I'm sure that will help! There are many reasons why we're excited to leave, though! We'll be spending time with both sets of my grandparents, my family and friends in Poky, Jordan's grandparents and then Jordan's family and friends in Pittsford! We're looking forward to Halloween with Uncle Spencer! Even though he's "too old" to go trick-or-treating, Alexis is gonna be all dressed up and we're gonna have him go with us to take her around to friends in the ward! Lexi is gonna be a ladybug - the cutest ladybug EVER! :o) We can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas in New York, too! We haven't been able to spend either of those holidays in Pittsford yet and we're excited! It'll be fun with Alexis being a year and a half old, too! We were looking at old pictures last night of last Christmas! Of course, Lexi was excited even at 6 months old, too - she could just feel it! She knew everyone else was excited and she just joined in! We can't wait to see how she reacts this year! It's just so much fun being a parent! :o) Alexis is growing up so much! She's doing so much more just in the past couple weeks! She is making more faces and getting her feelings hurt easier! :o) She's saying more words like, "Stitches" and "bird" and singing lots of songs! She dancing and really starting to run! It's crazy how fast time goes! We love you all and can't wait to see lots of you soon!
Love, Kristen.
