We're Still Here!!!

Well, life has been busy. I realize I haven't posted in a few months, so I'm going to update. I started the Fall semester in August, so I'm over in Stephenville on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In the Spring, Macie stayed at a daycare here in Granbury but this semester I decided to find a place closer to me just in case something happens. Boy, did I luck out finding a babysitter. I had a class with another mommy over the summer and she referred me to Macie's new babysitter, Ms. Amy. It's such a relief having her closer to me. I feel like I don't miss out on as much now. Also, it's a lot more personal having her stay at someone's home. We just LOVE Ms. Amy and are glad we found her.

So, Miss Priss Macie talks up a storm now. She will be 2 in 3 short months and I can hardly believe time has passed so quickly! She's a stubborn little thing, but I can't help but laugh at her and her stubborn-ness (probably not even a word, oh well). She says many many words and is talking in a few sentences now. Here are a couple of sentences she says:

Der it ees! (There it is.)

Wur are eww? (Where are you?)

I get it.

(Maybe a little gross) Poo Poo/Tee Tee in the paee (potty).

I uv eww. (I love you.)

Eww uck! (Eww Yuck!)

Burr towd! (Burr cold!)

I also love that she has manners. She's really demanding when she wants something, but once she gets it she will say thank you, or tak eww. She will say please (peas) too most of the time.

Over the weekend, we went to Meridian to celebrate mine and Chris' 25th Birthdays and my Momma's 52nd! I always love getting to see my wonderful family and, of course, eating great food. My sweet Daddy cooked some meat on his smoker and the rest of the family brought the sides. Anyway, it rained that day and luckily I had Macie's raincoat and rain boots that my aunt bought for her in the car. So, my Aunt Sharon got Macie all decked out and took her walking around to splash in all of the mud puddles. Boy, did she have a blast! Here are a few pictures from that:

These are from yesterday, my Momma's actual birthday. We went into Meridian, again, to eat out with the family. Macie and I got there a little early so we went riding around on the golf cart to pass some time.
