Well, it ain't Sylvania.....

Aww Man, this isn't underwear!

Future Most Embarrassing Picture Ever!

School is going fine, it really is. The staff is amazing. Everyone is super nice and fun. But....... I was so spoiled in Sylvania. I went from the Hilton to the Budget Inn. I think the staff is going to make up for everything else, though.

Patrick's busy at work. He had to pull one of his boats out of the ocean today. I mean literally swim out to the boat and pull it in, camis and all. He was soaking wet when he came home. He has been a HUGE help to me since I went back to work.

McKenna is doing so much better! She starts Daycare/Preschool next week. We'll see how that goes. Little Hitler is in for quite an experience. She's been going to Brady's sitter this week. Of course, she got a cold; just in time for her birthday. We are quickly becoming Cape Fear Pediatrics customers of the month. I've become the kind of mother that I used to complain about. I send my kids to the sitter sick. Oh well, that's what you do when Nammy Jan and the Rosebrocks are 700 miles away (they used to watch the kids when they were sick.) McKenna is constantly amazing me with how smart she is. She knows how to count from 1-12, say her ABC's, recognize the letters A, O, M, and B, and make the short A and B sound. She also knows a square, circle, triangle, star and crescent (I'm trying to teach her to say parallelogram, but she looks at me like I'm nuts, which I am.) The craziest thing is she can say how things are alike and different and she can complete patterns! She's either going to be a doctor or Rainman. I found out that she knew her shapes because I overheard her scolding her babies for saying the wrong names for her shape puzzles. She was like, "No Sweetheart, that is a square, not a circle." Too funny.

Bubby is hilarious! He is a total Daddy's boy, now. He says mama, dada, hi, bye, baba. He always gets my day going with his amazing smile. McKenna is like me and wakes up furious at the world. Not Bubby. He wakes up talking, smiling and saying mama, dada, mama, dada. He is crawling like a maniac and 100% boy. His newest stunt is trying to crawl into the dryer. No kidding. Every time I open the dryer door, he crawls over and tries to get in! So, I pull him out and sometimes he has a pair of my underwear on his head. He's so much like his dad.

Go, Bubby, Go!

Hey they didn't drown each other! Looks like they were having fun. Bubby looks so cute getting into that dryer. When did he start crawling like that? Love & Misss You All, Grammy Sharlene

OMG, I can't believe he started doing all of that in the last few weeks! What a big boy. McKenna has always been smart, so it's not a big surprise that she knows all of that. How fun is it to impress everyone with your BEAUTIFUL and SMART daughter???

I'm glad Patrick is being a help. Sometimes they're worth keeping around.... ;)

Give McKenna birthday hug and kiss and tell Brady how proud we are of him!!

Namma-He started this week! He wanted to see what his Sissy was doing so he crawled from his room to hers!

Thanks for the video of Bubby crawling. Wow! He always could melt away any problems with tha smile of his. Whatever happened to McKenna's wakeup "It's a wonderful day"?

Was the swim to the boat a training exercise or did it get away from them?

I'm glad the staff at your school is so nice--I'm sure you'll miss your former pricipal--what a great guy!!! Love you all!!!

Aunt Carol-
McKenna's "It's a wonderful day" doesn't occur anymore unless it's after 8:30 am.

Patrick's boat was sinking.

Mr. B is great! I miss him and the Stranahan staff a lot. Love you, too.

I just love the videos on these blogs it make me feel like I am right there. Man I can't believe how he is crawling since just a couple weeks ago he was just rocking on his knees. How cute he is and love the pic of them in the bathtub. Love you

Brady's eyes could melt anyones heart. I'm glad your happy at school, hate that we don't get to see to much of each other except passing in the hall. Hopefully some weekend we can enjoy the pool and McKeena and Emma can swim. Lou Ann
