Not so Nocturnal November...

I feel so guilty for a promise that I never delivered... so in vain, nearing the end of November, I will attempt to post a few pictures and notes. I have been in frantic mode preparing for our upcoming trip to Cajun Country for two weeks and have doubled up on therapy and all things related to life here. It's been insane and Marci is finally starting to revolt... I don't blame her...
After the Halloween events and in between therapies.. sweet little Ms. M was quite pooped... here she is with her favorite stuffed animals and book...


Marci's new thing is Yoga! I can't believe how's she's taken to it and does it many times a day... "OHHHHMMMM" Namastae...






Above - Marci takes her 'babies' and does Yoga with them - here she is putting the block on their head so they can walk 'smoothly'....

Last but NEVER least... Marci and her cousin McCade. Uncle Tony, Aunt Michele, Cousins Coree, Cade, Parker and KC came over to share some Gumbo. Marci didn't take much time to warm up to everyone and shared one of her favorite books with Cade, Goodnight Moon. They are kindred spirits! Cade is a very talented and up and coming artist... he sold two "Cade" originals this night! We are so proud and honored to know such an amazing gifted artist...

I hope to keep posting our Thanksgiving posts in LA but in case I don't, I promise more in December. Have a peaceful and joyous Thanksgiving. God Bless our Troops and their families.

October in Overdrive

Here are highlights from October for this fun toddler. I will be adding to her loving list soon but wanted to note that Marci can spell her first and last name - without help! Pretty amazing considering she is not yet 3... She is also loving Yoga! I'll post some pictures in my next post... Ohmmmmm


Marci's loves motorcycles... must run in the family!
(Below) enjoying my friend Tracie and some flannel board stories...




Can you find me in the pile of stuffed animals?
(Below - the next few are at the Pumpkin Patch in Syracuse.)






My friend the cat... below - your kidding me right?
(below)You want me to put a rope around this tire? oops.. I mean cow?










Marci loves her daily walks with KC. Here she is at the park across the street from us.... feeding the ducks below...















This was funny... notice the tiny phone on KC's bed, she was talking into the small receiver...




(below - our first snowfall in the middle of Oct..)














I know - she's still her her pj's... but they were fleece! She kept saying 'I see snow'... remembered that from one of her memorized shows...






Marci is showing Will how to spell a word. She really enjoyed this visit with the Vidrine's! YIPEE!











(below - at the pumpkin patch again...)

















Marci loves this toy magazine for some reason.. it is now missing most of the pages.













Can you believe she actually fell asleep on a tramp during the day?











Marci loves to play 'mommy' to her babies... here she is feeding them after their bath...












One of Marci's friends Heidi, lives on a horse ranch and invited her to come and see the horses! We didn't get her to enjoy getting on the horse this time but maybe another day... Thanks Heidi!








Marci had 2 Halloween parties she attended this year. This day she was a sailor...












On Halloween she was a motorcyclist! Daddy and Mommy dressed in leathers to complete her look...

September in Pictures!

Well, by now many have given up on me and who would blame them. I put blogging high on the to do list but it always falls to the bottom by the end of the day. Between therapy, play, work, play and just life... So over the next week I'm going to post pictures of adorable Marci through the months. I hope someday I'll stay current but until then, I'll photo blog! I'll try to catch up on some upcoming post but for now... here are some pictures to start...


(Marci - still an avid reader, catching up before bedtime...)

Marci at her easel... crayon in hand!



















Marci lining up cards.. usually she can line up her animal family according to type!






Just relaxing .... and riding...
