Good Weekend

We had a fun time this weekend. M and I decided to take the girls to the county fair, and we had a blast there. It is one of the biggest fairs that comes around our area, and we learned of it last year. Last year we went with my parents and had a fun time, but we did have a fun time just us four. We walked around had a great time patting all the animals, watching the horse shows, and the tractor pulls. It is rather funny seeing all these lawn mowers turned into hot rods essentially by all these men. Although there was two girls riding, and it was fun to see them putting the petal to the metal. We stayed for about 5 hours or so before heading back home. We have decided to go again this weekend since it is the last weekend for the season. We will be going with Grammie J, H, D, and M. Princess is so excited for her boyfriend M to be going. We should have a fun time again since they have never been there. I will update again when I have more time. Tonight, I am exhausted. It was a very busy and mindfully exhausting time at work today. I hope for an easier day tomorrow.

Great Day!

Today was a fantastic day with both the girls. Miss P came to visit this morning like she always does on Fridays. After she left Little Miss took her nap while Princess watched a movie. When Little Miss woke up, I decided to take them to the mall to get out of the house, but most of all to get away from the humid heat today. We headed out the door at about 12:30 and headed to the mall. We ate lunch, and browsed around for a bit before deciding on which outfit I would get Princess for her birthday pictures. I decided on a Watermelon theme outfit from the Gym*boree. I really liked it, but even more, I liked the price tags on them. We finished walking around and headed out to go back home and wait for M to get home. M called me after leaving work to let me know that she was in a little traffic and would be home as soon as she could. I asked her if she would be interested in taking Princess to get her pictures taken tonight, and she thought that was a great idea. I called Kid*die Kan*dids and made the appointment for 7 PM. After making the appointment, I thought that it would be a great idea to get a picture of Little Miss and Princess together, so they both ended up in the tub to get ready. We had a fun time together looking around at all the baby stuff. It's amazing to me with all the "new" stuff that has come out within the last four years, hell, the last 2 years at that. We got their pictures done along with Princesses 4th birthday photos. I think they came out great! I have to scan them in, but as soon as I do, I will post them. Tomorrow we are heading out for the day together as a family to go to a fair that we love! They have many animals to see along with many different stands to by items. It should be a good time.....have a good weekend everyone!

Princess

My update on my Princess. What can I say about her without making it seem like she is the best child? She is an amazing little girl that is no longer a toddler but a little girl. She is turning 4 soon and I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday we were trying to get pregnant with her, then when I became pregnant we just couldn't wait to meet her. When she was born, she was everything we had dreamed of. By the time she was 6 months old she was already talking, and by 15 months was using complete sentences to tell us what she wanted. She to this day is a little chatter box (I wonder where she gets it?) and just makes us laugh constantly. She will be attending pre-school for her final year before heading on to kindergarten. I don't even want to begin imagining it. She finished up her first year of dance school, and did fantastic with it. We will be having her attend again in September. For now though, we are enjoying the summer with Grammie J and the warm weather that we have had on and off. We can't believe how quickly these last four years have gone, if only we could put the time on hold for her to stay this age. I would love it!

Little Miss

I have been meaning to update everyone on my Little Miss. She is now 20 months old. Can you even believe that?!? She is still being seen by Early Intervention for her speech and language development, but what an improvement from where we had started. When we first had an evaluation on her she was going on 12 months, and some of her milestones were only at a 9-10 month level. I was devastated, but with the help of Miss P we are improving by leaps and bounds. She is now saying more and more each day. She can now say "up please", "down please", "more", "binkie", "mama", "papa", "no", "kitty", "meow", "please" "thank you and thanks". The list goes on and on now. I was so concerned with if she was ever going to talk that I almost got this overwhelming pit in my stomach thinking about it. Now with this improvement, I feel like we have defeated all the thoughts that I had running through my mind. In about a month, we will have that evaluation again to see if she still qualifies or not for the program. This time around I will go into it without worrying what she Can't do, but what she Can do. She is such a joy to have, and each day when I see her smiling back at me, I couldn't imagine life without her. She is the best little girl that I know. Pictures to follow soon, and also a posting on Princess. Princesses birthday is fast approaching, and I can't believe that she will be 4. Yes, you read that right, 4 YEARS OLD, where did the time go?!?!?

Here I Am

I've decided to blog again, and once again move it back to blogspot, we will see how it goes. I am starting this new blog to share my life with our daughters.
