Please forgive me

I have really neglected my duties to the blog. It has been a rediculous amount of time since I last posted for this I am sorry. before you get all mad and start throwing things at my pathetic plea for forgiveness, remember Easter just passed so there are pictures a coming.

Today Grandma S. came into town to see the girls. A was so excited she was talking about this for a few days. A becomes Grandma's shadow, and Grandma loves to read all the books and it is different voice reading all her books and she loves that. This afternoon A had just taken off her diaper and pulled her pants down so she could sit on the potty, when TaaDaa Grandma came in. A takes off waddling through the house pants around her ankles "Grandma, Grandma, Grandma". Upon make a quick escorted return to the potty she had lost all interest she had to go see Grandma. The potty training is going well, but like everyone says it is a long process.

Z on the other hand is also becoming a big girl in her own way. Her last visit at the doctors office we were told she is 4 inches and 4 pounds above average. She is currently wearing 12 month clothing and size 3 diapers, although the next pack will probably be 4's. Z is pretty amazing she is just shy of A's weight, Keep in mind Z was born in December. She likes to sit in her walker and is very independent. When this kid starts moving around herself look out she will be coming through.

A visit from Grandma

Grandma came in from New York a couple weeks ago, and managed to take a couple pictures.

Grandma and A took a trip to Great Grandpa's house.

Z even smiled for Grandma.

Grandma made cookies and A really enjoyed them the evidence is on her face.

The picture taking got old and it was time to read, A had got mail from Mickey Mouse that day.

Grandma is coming back soon so there will be more pictures from her shortly.

I am a little behind

Times are tough, life is busy, the check is in the mail, I got held up in traffic, my alarm clock didn't go off, something came up. I got a million excuses for why I haven't posted, so just pick which ever you like.

Grandma made a trip in from New York last week, it has been a hard winter for her not seeing the grand kids. I was hoping that she would get some good pictures while she was home but the girls, mostly A was being camera shy, I never thought that would happen. A was grandmas little shadow when she came home though. One kinda warm day grandma, and I took A to the playground across the street from where I grew up. It is kinda strange spent a lot of time there growing up. It just seems weird how short everything actually is. Now I don't have to get my feet off the ground to use the monkey bars. A was not into the playground experience that day though, hopefully soon it will be warm enough to take Z as well.

Hopefully the next update will be soon, and have pictures.

Photo update

When the Flu came to the marble house a couple weeks ago.

Too bad she doesn't act like this more often.

Jam session at Elmo's Restaurant.

Piggies!

I am gonna need my soapbox for this one

Unless you live in Arizona you changed your clocks this weekend. Hopefully you all remembered the other task that you do that same weekend. That is right time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. You should have a smoke detector on every floor of the house. For those people I know who do not have them or have them but have not put them up shame on you, think of all the important things in your house, antiques, heirlooms, and I don't know kids. So take a few minutes and a few dollars, replace those batteries. I am stepping back down now.

Shot day take 2

Today Z went out for her second round of shootings. The wife said she was a trooper throughout, not making a peep after the first and just whimpering a little after the second. When I left for work today she was sleeping and when she was a wake seemed to be in a pleasant mood.

A has taken an interest in my guitars. She realizes when I am playing that she can stop the music by putting her hands on the strings, and I have let her pluck a string or two before. We heard her in the other room plucking lightly at the strings. I do not want to discourage her from it and the one she was playing is in poor shape anyway, so I let her go on. A short while later I noticed the wife's wallet on the table and asked did you get a new wallet this one is empty. The wife not so calmly responds with, "it shouldn't be", we questioned the usual subject. A confessed to the whole thing stating she put Mommy's stuff in Daddy's guitar.

Wishes for a speedy recovery

Just wanna say hope your day gets better to LB and Aunt G. Those of you who may know MelanieWelanie's little guy found out the floor is harder than his head, this discovery scared the crap out of all of us. Thankfully LB is doing better, still not 100%, but on the way.

A and Z's Aunt G was also hanging out in the ER yesterday around the same time, before having her appendix removed. If you recall Pappy W. just went through the same ordeal. When I told the wife what was happening she looked at me and said, "didn't know that was catching."

Talking about Pappy, poor fellow is scheduled to go back to work soon, time flies when you are recouping.
