The Big Uh-Oh

Mary Kate has extended her vocabulary to include the word "uh-oh." She is forever dropping things on the floor and saying her new word. We went to visit my parents over the weekend. MK, Madelyn, and I went shopping at the Mall of Georgia. I rented one of those push-cars for Mary Kate to ride in. She was always dropping things over the side of it. Well, Madelyn went into Aeropostale to look and I couldn't go inside the store because the car was too big to fit through the aisles. They are not exactly a mom-friendly store, so we sat outside on a bench, or rather I sat on the bench and MK sat in her very large car. :) We were on the second floor near the railing overlooking the first floor. Well, Mary Kate was thirsty and needed some water so I gave her a sippy cup and relaxed for 15 seconds. She drank happily and then I heard her say "uh-oh" and at the same time I heard a loud crash on the first floor. I couldn't believe it! She had let the sippy cup drop and it rolled over the side of the railing and could have hit someone in the head down below! I laughed so hard and Mary Kate just kept saying "uh-oh." I couldn't retrieve it because we would've had to ride the elevator and I couldn't tell Madelyn where we were going because I couldn't fit in the store. Anyway, here are some pictures of the weekend.

New House

I know this is a long time coming, but here are some pictures of our new house. More will follow.

Hot, Hot, Hot!!!!

In case you don't know, Rome is one of the hottest places on earth to live. Every night on the news they say that Rome is the hot-spot for Georgia. It is miserable to go outside. So, instead of going outside, I let Mary Kate play in an empty bathtub with kitchen utensils and water. She had a blast.









This is when MK had had enough of the tub.

Blueberries

Many of you may not know that my parents have several blueberry bushes in their back yard. My dad spends countless hours picking them to give away and to freeze. They are the best blueberries that I have ever tasted! This year my mom made blueberry jam and they brought us a jar when they came to visit on Sunday. It was the best that she has ever made. I let Mary Kate have a piece of toast with some jam on it and she loved it. Here she is enjoying the feast!

Our Little Einstein

Yes, our little nine-month old daughter is a genius. She already plays the guitar. She also loves to read books while in the buff. She is truly an artist! :)

More Visitors

My parents and my Grandmother came to visit over the weekend. I tried to show them around Rome, but everything was closed on Monday. We had a great time anyway. Mary Kate enjoyed spending time with her Great-Grandma. We didn't do much on the fourth but we did eat yummy hamburgers with Nana and Pops.




Happy Belated Fourth!
