Doctor Update

We went to the doctor yesterday. We are cutting back the breathing treatments. Maci is doing very good. She gained 1/2 a pound, so she is 27.5.

Maci loves to watch the rabbits in the yard. Here she has spotted them out the bedroom window. When we are outside she squats down and motions for them to come here. All the while asking the rabbit "come ere bunny, come ere bunny".




Biker babe: One of our favorite outdoor activities includes riding the bike around the driveway. When she gets tired you have to push her. Some genius bike maker added a tall handle for the parent.



Future artist. She loves all craft like activities. The messier the better!

The Internet makes me smart!

The ability to use the Internet makes me appear to be smart! I find that the teachers here do not know the power of Google. I don't have a phone book. I don't listen to the weather. I don't watch the news. I have the Internet. People come to me for the weather forecast, phone numbers and general information. If there is an argument going on about What was Lucy's last name of the peanuts? Google it is. Van Pelt if you are now wondering. On the flip side people come and ask me phone number, the weather, and general information. I always ask - did you try to Google it?

Weekend - Busy start / Slow Ending

Saturday

We had a VERY eventful Saturday this weekend. We started out heading to the Youzeum in Columbia. It is a new children's activity center all themed around the body. Leah, Madeline, and Stella had invited us to join them. We met Larry, Donice, & Anthony there. Maci was a little clingy, but loved the activity. We then headed to lunch with the gang. We had a nice visit. Anthony & Maci got to color and eat raisins together. Anthony is a very sweet kid especially for Larry as a father. He takes after his mother. I was worried Maci would be mean or bossy, but she did good.

Then we headed to Fulton to visit the great grandparents. Dale and Bev were there mowing and weed eating away (until the rain). We had a good visit. Maci showed up just in time for cake and ice cream.

After our visit, we headed back to Barnes and Noble to pick out a few new books for me to read to Maci. I have to mix it up. The same books do get boring. We picked out some really good books this time. I have already had to read them 3 or 4 times yesterday.

We then met Derek's side of the family for dinner. We took Grandma Betty out for Mother's day. She was ecstatic to see Trace. She wouldn't leave his side until her food came. Then she barely would eat because she wanted to spend more time with him. I think he likes her attention, but will soon be embarrassed as he gets older. I don't know though.

Sunday

Maci and I hung out all day Sunday. We didn't even leave the house. It was great!

No Allergies for Maci

I didn't get this post up too quickly. Maci had an allergy test. She is not allergic to anything. Good news is she doesn't have allergies. Bad news we don't know why she stays all full of yuck. We have a followup visit in a couple weeks. We will see what is next.
