The best teenager ever....

Last night, McKenna opened up "Kenna's Cafe" and very professionally prepared Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp scampi for Nana and I. For dessert, she whipped us up a fruit smoothie of our choice. What a treat!

Things ran much smoother at our house last night since Nana and I had time to walk Maisy and Paige while the "Chef" was getting down to business.

Thanks Kenna! You rock!

Happy Birthday Eric!

We miss you!

Hives, Hives, Hives...and not the bee's kind...

Our little Paige E. Girl has sprouted a nice case of hives...we have no idea what she may be allergic to. They don't seem to bother her...she is her little cute self still. We haven't changed our soap lately so were thinking it must be something that she has eaten lately...we're afraid watermelon may be the culprit! Papa brought a yummy watermelon with him when he visited last weekend and Kenna has been diving into it for dessert for the past few nights. And of course...Paige has to have some "biiiites". Poor child if that is what it is...can you imagine a life without watermelon?

I was so proud of McKenna yesterday (and every other day of course)...she came home with a comment sheet from her dance teacher at school. Her teacher wrote that she was an exquisite dancer and was a great role model for the rest of her class! What a compliment! That...along with her other 7 A's makes me a really proud mama!

Many thanks to our Leisy P. who has been with us for the last 3 weeks. We let her go home to her lonely husband who missed her dearly! We will miss you Leisy P!

18 months...

Yesterday marked 18 months that Eric has been gone...seems like such a wild ride. We still think about him every day and miss him like crazy! I know he is keeping busy being our guardian angel.

Paige is becoming quite the little talking machine! All of the sudden she has added several words to her vocab...including Awww Dang! She also says cheese and shoes.

She had the giggles while sitting on my lap a couple of days ago when I noticed a new tooth in her mouth! So that makes 7....she absolutely hates to brush them though...:(

Kenna is so busy that we barely see her anymore! She has quite the social life! With that, dance and school her life is pretty full!

Leisy has been with us this week and will stay on as head Nanny-housekeeper-chef-taxi driver-keep mom sane person until the 21st. She is giving Nana a much deserved vacation and we love having her around!
