Catching Up...

Yes, believe it or not - Marci's mom has decided to dust the cobwebs off her blog space and update the site with a few words and pictures! I have been blog-stalking my favorite people (you know who you are!) and have been hoping that their blogging prowess would rub off on me... alas it was not to be. I have however graduated with an MBA in procrastination... Without further delay - I will catch you up on our activities with some photos and then I'll make a promise and try to keep it for staying updated.... (Forgive the typos and poor grammar.. my mommy mind has gone to bed!)

April - past post (hopefully posted by now) show Marci's last days with Aunt Michele, Uncle Paul and Duke... we miss them so much! We keep wishing on the stars....

May - Lots of playdates and play therapies that kept us hopping! Marci loves to be outside and walk KC, play in her pool and just be 'one' with the yard.. Marci's latest 'brag' is she has 'memorized' counting in French, Japanese, Spanish and Swahili (sp?)... Marci has one of those minds that memorizes quickly and she's learned from a CD she listens to... she doesn't know what she's saying but hey, I'm still counting it!

June - Kenny, Marci and I spent 2 weeks in Louisiana visiting family and working.

Marci had a wonderful time doing all of her favorite things and entertaining everyone with her dancing, singing, reading and just silly 2 year old things.

We spent a week with Jeanne (Marci's Nanny and Kenny's favorite sister) and then a week with MawMaw Alda. We loved spending time with family and loved all of the great Cajun food and the incredible hospitality. On our way home, while sitting on the Dallas tarmac for 2 hours, Marci demonstatrated her newest skill, reading! Yes, Marci can sound out some three and four letter words in her book now!

We picked up a new friend there!

July - it's been a month of catchup on appointments, work, dear friends who I'm horrible about keeping in touch with, family time and blogging! We also spent a nice long weekend up at Grandma and Grandpa Smith's and celebrated Grandma's birthday!

As you can see, they live in a beautiful setting and we enjoyed being with them and the outdoors. Grandpa let KC and I tag with him and Tip on their morning walks. It was spectacular. If anyone would like the photos of our walks let me know. Someone who takes care of the trails carves faces on the trees they cut down from the path.. very fun! We also wrote our names and notes in the geocache.com can under the bridge...

Kenny took Abby (our neice who came with us), Marci and I rides on Grandpa's 4-wheeler which was fun.

Last but not least for this trip was Marci at the piano. Marci loves music and has an unbelieveable ability to dance, lead music and sing - right on beat (maybe not on tune but hey... she's 2!) Here are some parting shots of my marvelous maximum Marci!
