Catching Up

It looks like I'm only going to get to blog about once a week so here's what has been going on the last week with us starting with last weekend...

Friday
On Friday, Katie and I went to our neighborhood gymnasium to play with some other kids from our Mom's Club. She had a great time playing and her pull-along dog was the hit toy of the day. Katie did a GREAT job letting the other kids have turns pulling it around. I think she might be starting to get the hang of sharing toys. Katie was super-excited all day b/c she and Daddy were going to have a date at Chuck E. Cheese that night. She told everyone about it. All day she'd say - "Go to Chuh Cheese, Katie and Dadddy, no Mommy" By the time Ric got home she was so antsy to go. They had a great time together!


Saturday

We had a big day on Saturday. We went to Scottsdale to the Train Park. Katie was a little scared of the horses (carousel) so we just rode the train and played on the playground. She really enjoyed it but we forgot to bring a camera! After that we went shopping at the mall in Scottsdale. We headed home about 3pm and decided to go straight to church. Katie was exhausted by the end of all that but it was a good day.

Sunday
We hung out most of the day but had a neighborhood ice cream social at our pool that evening. Ric and I had a nice time visiting with the neighbors and Katie had fun running around in the grass with all the kids. As I looked around, I reflected on what a great neighborhood we're in - there are so many young kids and families. These are Katie's buddies Grace & Taylor. (PS: Thanks, Rachael, for the pic from your blog...I can't seem to remember my own camera)





Mon/Tue
Not much to add. Katie loves Bible Study on Tuesday mornings. Her teachers told me they want to take her home b/c they love her so much. She has to memorize a verse "I am with you always" and she's actually starting to learn it! I have to say "I am with you" and then she adds "always". I'm very proud of her! Oh, her latest thing that she's saying all the time - she'll list off something (people, food, books, etc.) and then add "And that's all". For instance, I'll say "What do you want for lunch?" and she'll say "Turkey, cheese, banana...and that's all". She's saying it all the time! She has really been chatty this week. It's so cute to hear what she comes up with.
