Hey all! Here is our latest feeble attempt at a family picture. Not great, but hey Danica looks adorable. I wish you could see the whole outfit SO CUTE! Next time we get her all spruced up I will take a shot of this GAP get up. Anyway, I digress. This photo was taken after our beautiful niece Madelynn's baptism in Columbia this weekend. We arrived in Columbia on Saturday and went out to dinner with the Heits family, Brian's sister, and grandparents and then woke Sunday to attend the MO United Methodist Church to witness Madelynn's baptism she was great, the service was great and then it was back to Blythe and Brian's for a brunch and then we were on the road again, hoping for a nap from little Miss Danica--we didn't get one out of her on the way to Columbia, but surely on the way home the little tyke would rest---WRONG. But all is well that ends well, right?
So Danica is not a sleeper but goofy she is....who do you think she gets that from? On Thursday, she was at Miss Dana's and took her first 3 steps, but of course she hasn't done it for mom and dad yet. She has also picked up some real quirky habits--she does this nerdy laugh/giggle, shakes her head no so hard she almost topples over, and does a snorty/snuffy thing with her nose all crinkled up it is hilarious! She also has a love affair with the telephone and when our home phone rings, it plays Old McDonald Had A Farm by the way, Danica lets out this super high pitched shreak, too cute for sure! The girl has personality, that she gets from her Dad.
We ate our first meal together as a family last night where we were all eating the same thing--pancakes! It was great to see her "shovel" the pancakes in and grunt for more.
The little girl broke my heart this morning though....she cried when I left her at Miss Dana's this morning, but I didn't turn back. Dana brought Danica to the door and I waved as I pulled away. That was tough, it definately makes you think twice about being a working mom. But hey, we all do the best we can to find balance. Best wishes for a great week!
