3 YEARS!!!!

TODAY MARKS THE 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SINCE WE GOT OUR REFERRAL OF AHNNA LEIGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN THAT LONG! SHE HAS GROWN SOOOOOO MUCH! SHE'S DEFINITELY A LITTLE GIRL & NO THE LITTLE BABY WE FIRST SAW. THE PICTURE WASN'T THE BEST QUALITY BUT WE DEFINITELY GOT AN IDEA OF WHAT A WEAK LITTLE THING SHE WAS. SHE IS SO STONG & HEALTHY NOW! SHE HAS BEEN SUCH A BLESSING & WE CAN'T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HER!
WELL, NOT MUCH TO POST NOW. I'M GONNA HAVE TO START P365 ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING. WE CLOSE ON TUESDAY! WE JUST FOUND OUT LAST NIGHT SO NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE RUSHING! SO, I'LL POST SOME JUST MNOT EVERY DAY. KEEP CHECKING IN & PLEASE COMMENT! : )
OUR 1ST PICTURE OF AHNNA LEIGH! SHE WAS 7 MONTHS OLD & HAD JUST BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL WITH HER 2ND BOUT OF PNEUMONIA.


THIS IS AHNNA LEIGH'S CRIB AT THE ORPHANAGE. SHE IS THE BABY ON THE FAR RIGHT. SHE EVENTUALLY GOT BIG ENOUGH FOR HER OWN CRIB. TONNIE JUST SENT ME THIS PICTURE A FEW WEEKS AGO!

ANOTHER ONE TONNIE SENT ME. THE NANNY ON THE FAR LEFT WITH HER ARM AROUND THE LITTLE BOY (ALEX WHO WAS ADOPTED WHEN AHNNA LEIGH WAS) IS HOLDING AHNNA LEIGH.

AHNNA LEIGH NOW! SHE HAS CHANGED SOOOOO MUCH!

MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER! SHE WAS OURS THE MOMENT WE FIRST SAW HER LITTLE FACE!!!! AHNNA LEIGH, WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW!!!!

P365 CATCHUP! JULY 13-19 WHEW!

OK. SO HERE'S THE DEAL. WE HAVE TO BE OUT OF OUR HOUSE BY THE END OF THE MONTH. THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE TAKING PICTURES EVERYDAY A PRIORITY. SO, I WILL POST AT LEAST 1 PICTURE EACH DAY. IF I GET [ICS OF THAT DAY I'LL PUT THEM UP HERE. IF NOT, I'LL JUSTPOST ABOUT OUR DAY WITH A PICTURE I HAVEN'T POSTED BEFORE. SO, HERE GOES!!!!
-JULY 13 (P 365 DAY 8):
TODAY WE LEFT FOR THE BEACH. IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET GOING BECAUSE JO JO, MY SISTER'S DOG (WHO WAS GOING WITH US) WAS SICK & ZACH HAD TO GET A TOOTH REPAIRED BECAUSE HE HAD A FILLLING FALL OUT ON SATURDAY. ONCE WE GOT GOING WE STOPPED FOR NUMERUS POTTY BREAKS & MINOR EMERGENCIES THANKS TO THE 3 YEAR OLD TRAVELING WITH US. IT RAINED BUT WAS NOT A BAD. WE WENT TO CALABASH FOR SEAFOOD & HEADED BACK TO THE HOUSE TO HANG OUT.
-JULY 14 (P 365 DAY 9)
TODAY WE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS ON THE BEACH. AHNNA LEIGH LOVED IT! SHE IS JUST A SUMMER BABY. WE DIFFER IN THAT RESPECT. I LIKE SUMMER IN SMALLER AMOUNTS. I'M MUCH MORE OF A FALL/WINTER PERSON, BUT SHE IS A FLIP FLOP LOVIN, SWIMMIN, TANNED LITTLE GIRL! SHE WAS MADE FOR SUMMER! ANYWAY, AFTER WE WERE DONE WITH THE BEACH JEREMY FIXED US A LOW COUNTRY BROIL FOR SUPPER. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THAT BEFORE, IT'S SHRIMP, POTATOS, & CORN ON THE COB ALL BOILED IN A BIG POT WITH OLD BAY SEASONING. IT WAS YUMMY! THEN WE HEADED TO BROADWAY AT THE BEACH WHERE WE LOOKED AROUND & LET AHNNA LEIGH RIDE SOME RIDES AT THE PAVILION NOSTALGIA PARK, WE FINISHED IT UP WITH A TRIP TO "FRIENDS 2 BE MADE" FOR AHNNA LEIGH TO MAKE A NEW BABY DOLL (WE OWED HER A PRIZE FOR STAYING DRY ALL NIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE.).

GETTIN READY FOR THE SAND!!!!




I'M NOTICING A PATTERN HERE. SHE LIKES THIS POSE. SHE'S GETTIN A LITTLE BRAVER WITH IT THOUGH.


-JULY 15 (P 365 DAY 10)

TODAY WE WENT BACK OUT ON THE BEACH! THIS TIME WE HAD A BEACH TENT! WHAT A WONDERFUL INVENTION! I CAN HANDLE THE BEACH SOOO MUCH LONGER WITH A LITTLE SHADE & THIS IS EVEN NICER THAN AN UMBRELLA! AHNNA LEIGH LOVES JUMPING WAVES WITH HER DADDY! SHE GOT MORE & MORE COMFORTABLE AS THE DAY WENT ON & PLAYED A LOT MORE AT THE SHORELINE. AFTER WE CLEANED UP WE HEADED TO THE MARKET COMMON AREA FOR SUPPER AT PF CHANG'S! YUMMMMM! AFTER THAT WE LOOKED AROUND AT THE SHOPD THEN HEADED TO THE TANGER OUTLETS! THE WEATHER WAS SO NICE IN THE EVENINGS. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER WEATHER!

LAYING OUT!



LOOKING PRETTY BY THE FOUNTAIN AT THE MARKET COMMON!



-JULY 16 (P365 DAY11)

TODAY ZACH & JEREMY WENT TO PLAY GOLF! ERIN, AHNNA LEIGH & I WENT TO GET OUR NAILS DONE. ERIN & I HAD PEDICURES & AHNNA LEIGH GOT TO SIT IN THE PEDICURE CHAIR TO GET HER TOE NAILS PAINTED. THIS PLACE HAD CHILD SIZED PEDICURE CHAIRS WITH PRINCESSES & PANDA BEARS ON THE HEADREST & BULT IN DVD PLAYERS! SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS SOMETHING ELSE & GOT HER NAILS DONE A DARK PURPLE COLOR! AFTER WE WERE DONE WE WENT TO THE MALL TO HAVE LUNCH & LOOK AROUND. AHNNA LEIGH DID THIS REALLY COOL TRAMPOLINE THING WHERE YOU ARE STRAPPED IN A HARNESS THAT IS ATTACHED TO BUNGEES SO YOU CAN SAFELY JUMP HIGHER & FLIP OR WHATEVER YOU WANT. SHE LOVED IT! SHE'S NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING & WILL DO WHATEVER SHE'S ALLOWED TO DO. ZACH & JEREMY HANDELED SUPPER AGAIN & WE HAD STEAK ON THE GRILL. ZACH'S SPECIALTY! THEY ARE REALLY GOOD (JUST ASK HIM! HA HA!). WE WERE GONNA GO TO THE BEACH FOR AN UPDATED FAMILY PICTURE BUT THE RAIN STARTED BEFORE WE COULD GET THERE & WOULDN'T STOP! WHEN WE WERE CHANGING OIUT OF OUR "PICTURE CLOTHES" AHNNA LEIGH CLIMBED UP ON OUT BED & WANTED TO JUMP UP & LAND ON HER BOTTO. WE TOLD HER NOT TO DO THIS BECAUSE SHE COULD FALL & GET HURT. BEING 3, SHE IMMEDIATELY STOOD UP TO DO IT AGAIN. WE BOTH SAID, "NO." & REACHED TO MAKE HER SIT DOWN. BEFORE WE COULD GET HER SHE DID IT AGAIN & FELL OFF THE BED & HIT HER HEAD ON A BOOKSHELF! WE THOUGHT SHE JUST HIT IT REALLY HARD BUT WE I LEANED HER BACK TO LOOK HER IN THE FACE TO CALM HER DOWN ZACH NOTICED THAT HER HEAD WAS BLEEDING!!!! SHE BLED ALL OVER ME! IT WAS SO SCARY! HEAD WOUNDS BLEED LIKE CRAZY! SHE CALMED DOWN AFTER 3-4 MINUTES & WANTED A POPSICLE WHICH WE LET HER EAT ON THE WAY TO THE ER. WE LEFT ABOUT AN HOUR LATER WITH 3 STAPLE IN HER HEAD & JITTERY NERVES! AFTER GETTING SOME ICE CREAM, WE ALL CRASHED!!!!





-JULY 17 (P365 DAY12)

WE HEADED HOME TODAY AFTER BREAKFAST AT THE PANCAKE HOUSE. IT WAS RAINY AGAIN. WE FOUND OUT OUR CONTRACT ON OUR HOUSE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED! YEAHY! WE ARE REALLY GONNA HAVE TO GET BUSY FIXING UP OUR NEXT HOUSE & PACKING UP OUR CURRENT ONE! NO STRESS AT ALL! (SARCASM)

SPLITS ON THE BEACH



DADDY'S GIRL






-JULY 18 (P365 DAY 13)

BACK AT HOME. WE FOUND OUT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO CLOSE BY THE END OF THE MONTH SOWE WORKED ON THE HOUSE MOST OF THE DAY. I HAD TO DECORATE MY MUSIC ROOM FOR VBS THAT STRTS TOMORROW & ZACH HAD A FEW HOURS OF WORK BU OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS ALL WORK ON THE NEW HOUSE. AHNNA LEIGH STAYED WITH ZACH'S MOM SO WE COULD GET A LOT DONE WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT HER GETTING HURT. AFTER ZACH RAN TO THE CHURCH TO PRACTICE WITH THE BAND FOR VBS WE STARTED SANDING DOWN THE OLD HARDWOOD FLOORS TO STAIN THEM. WE ARE SOOOOO EXHAUSTED. THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG 2 WEEKS!









-JULY 19 (P365 DAY 14)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! I LOVE MY DADDY! HE & MAMA ARE ON A VACATION IN MICHIGAN RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE GOING TO MACKINAW ISLAND. I REALLY HOPE THEY ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME! WE HAD OUR FIRST NIGHT OF VBS TONIGHT! IT WAS A LITTLE HECTIC. IT ALWAYS IS BUT MY 4 YEAR OLDS & KINDERGARTENERS WERE LOTS OF FUN! AHNNA LEIGH STRUGGLED A LITTLE AT FIRST. I HAD TO WAKE HER UP FROM HER NAP AFTER 3 HOURS SO WOULD MAKE IT ON TIME. AFTER THE BEACH & TRAUMA FROM CUTTING HER HEAD & THE ENSUING ER VISIT SHE'S WORN OUT! WE CAME STRAIGHT HOME AFTER HAVING SUPPER (JUST THE 3 OF US) & PUT HER RIGHT TO BED! WE BE SLEEPING IN AS LATE AS POSSIBLE TOMORROW! IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER BUSY DAY!







WELL, NOW I AM CAUGHT UP! HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE INTERNET REGULARLY FROM NOW ON & CONTINUE WITH MY PROJECT! STAY TUNED & PLEASE COMMENT! : )

WOO HOO! I HAVE OFFICIALLY COMPLETED MY 1ST WEEK OF P365! ONLY 51MORE TO GO. I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT TOO MUCH. IT'S A LITTLE OVERWHELMING.
TODAY WE WENT TO CHURCH & THEN WE ALL TOOK A NAP. IT WAS SO NICE! IT'S BEEN AN EXHAUSTING LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AFTER OUR FAMILY NAP (FROM WHICH AHNNA LEIGH WOKE UP DRY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!) WE HEADED TO ZACH'S NANNY'S HOUSE FOR SUPPER WITH EVERYBODY. AFTER WE WERE DONE EATING WE WENT OUTSIDE TO PLAY A LITTLE & VISIT WITH JOSH & AUDRA'S PUPPY, THOR. YES. I SAID PUPPY. HE'S GONNA BE BIG!!!! AHNNA LEIGH LOVES ALL ANIMALS SO IT WAS TOUGH TO KEEP HER INSIDE KNOWING THAT HE WAS OUTSIDE. SO, I SNAPPED SOME PICTURES WHILE THEY PLAYED. HAVE FUN LOOKING! I'M OFF TO PACK FOR THE BEACH! YEAHY!!!!!!!!!!!

VERY FEW OF MY PICTURES TODAY HAVE AHNNA LEIGH IN THEM. TODAY JUST WASN'T ABOUT US. IT WAS ALL ABOUT LILY!!!! WE HAD A SHOWER FOR MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, ZANE & SISTER-IN-LAW, AMY. IT WAS A GREAT SHOWER & THEY GOT A LOT OF NICE STUFF. WE WENT OUT TO SUPPER WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY & HAD A GREAT TIME! AHNNA LEIGH KEPT RUBBING AMY'S BELLY SAYING, "DATS BABY LILY!!!!" OR "I WANT LILY TO COME OUT!" SHE TRIED TO LOOK UNDER AMY'S SHIRT TO SEE HERSO WE HAD TO EXPLAIN SHE JUST COULDN'T SEE HER THAT WAY, IT WOULD BE A FEW MORE WEEKS. SHE'S REALLY EXCITED ABOUT SEEING LILY & SO ARE WE.
WELL, I'M GONNA HIT THE HAY! I'M EXHAUSTED! ENJOY THE PICTURES!

P 365- DAY 5:SPLASHIN WITH FRIENDS

TODAY THE WEATHER WAS SOOOO MUCH NICER! WE WENT TO THE SPLASH PAD WITH FRIENDS FROM CHURCH! I LOVE GOING THERE BECAUSE AHNNA LEIGH CAN PLAY WHEREVER SHE WANTS & I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOW DEEP THE WATER IS OR ANY OF THAT. WE WENT WITH THE ERVINS FROM CHURCH. AHNNA LEIGH & LANIE ARE ABOUT THE SAME AGE & THEY'LL BE IN THE SAME GRADE IN SCHOOL. THEY PLAYED SO WELL TOGETHER! IT WAS JUST RIGHT TEMPERATURE WISE & JUST CLOUDY ENOUGH(OFF & ON) TO KEEP IT FROM BEING TOO HOT.
I GOT SOME REALLY CUTE PICTURES TODAY! ENJOY! I'M GONNA GO GET THE HOUSE CLEANED UP FOR COMPANY. TOMORROW AHNNA LEIGH & IARE GOING TO HELP THROW A BABY SHOWER FOR MY SISTER-IN-LAW, AMY!
AHNNA LEIGH & LANIE

P365-DAY 4:MILK & MICKEY

WE DIDN'T DO MUCH AT ALL TODAY. IT WAS RAINY & NASTY! WE HAD PLANNED TO GO TO THE SPLASH PAD WITH SOME FRIENDS FROM CHURCH BUT JUST AS WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE, THE BOTTOM FELL OUT! IT POURED FOREVER & I'VE NEVER HEARD THUNDER AS LOUD AS I HEARD TODAY. BUT, THAT WAS OKAY BECAUSE I GOT A LOT OF CLEANING DONE! AHNNA LEIGH JUST PLAYED & LOVED ON THE DOGS. SHE LOVES IT WHEN THEY ARE INSIDE & THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME INSIDE WITH US TODAY. I WAS SO PROUD OF AHNNA LEIGH TODAY! SHE PLAYED NICELY BY HERSELF WHILE I WORKED AROUND THE HOUSE & WAS SUCH A SWEET GIRL!
I CAN'T GET OVER HER SPEACH LATELY! SHE JUST TALKS & TALKS IN COMPLETE COMPLICATED SENTENCES & PARAGRAPHS! SHE JUST LAUNCHED INTO THIS SO MUCH MORE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS! SHE'S COME SO FAR FROM HER SPEACH THERAPY DAYS. WHEN SHE AGED OUT OF THE SPEACH THERAPY PROGRAM THROUGH THE COUNTY,IN OCTOBER, SHE WAS NOOOOOOO WHERE NEAR WHERE SHE IS NOW. I REALLY HOPE WE CAN GET TOGETHER WITH HER OLD THERAPIST SOON SO SHE CAN SEE HOW WELL SHE IS DOING. SHE WILL BE SO PROUD OF MY BABY GIRL! I KNOW I AM!
LIKE I SAID IT WAS NASTY HERE TODAY SO THE PICTURES ARE SEVERLY LACKING. I JUST GOT 1 FROM TODAY BUT I INCLUDED SOME "OLDIES BUT GOODIES".








WATCHING "MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE" (HER FAVORITE) WHILE DRINKING SOME MMILK & HOLDING ON TO THESE BALLOONS SOME RANDOM REALTOR HAS LEFT ON OUR DOOR EVERYDAY THIS WEEK!






I TOOK THIS ONE A WHILE BACK. SHE IS WEARING A TUTU DRESS THAT I MADE FOR HER.




SHE ALWAYS HAS TO POSE. IT MAKES GETTING CANDID SHOTS KINDA TOUGH!


THIS WAS HER FIRST TIME PLAYING IN THE WATER THIS SUMMER. SHE WAS EXCITED. CAN YOU TELL?

P365-DAY 3:SWIMMING WITH FRIENDS

TODAY WE WENT SWIMMING WITH EMMA & ERIN! AHNNA LEIGH WAS SO EXCITED! SHE LOVES SWIMMING & SHE LOVES EMMA! THEY BOTH SWAM AROUND & JUMPED IN WHILE WEARING THEIR "PUDDLE JUMPERS". HAVE YOU SEEN THESE THINGS? THEY ARE THE BEST THING EVER! THEY ARE COASTGUARD APPROVED SO THEY CAN BE WORN EVERYWHERE INCLUDING WATERPARKS WHERE FLOATIES AREN'T ALLOWED & WHILE RIDING ON A BOAT. I THINK WHAT I LOVE BEST IS THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT DEFLATING. THE OTHER DAY WHEN I DIDN;T HAVE HER "LADYBUG" WITH US I HAD TO BLOW THE WATER WINGS UP SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THEY HAD A LEAK. SHE IS SO MUCH MORE INDEPENDENT IN THE WATER WITH THIS. IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE ONE, YOU SHOULD GET THIS THING!


AFTER SWIMMIMG, WE ATE A LATE LUNCH & WENT HOME TO TAKE A NAP. AFTER NAP IT WAS TIME TO GO TO CHURCH FOR MISSION FRIENDS! THEN, WE MET ZACH AT CRACKER BARRELL FOR SUPER. IT WAS NICE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THEM BEING OUT OF DUMPLIN'S. SIGH. BUT ANYWAY, LIFE IS NOT THAT EXCITING RIGHT NOW. IT'S THE PICTURES THAT ARE THE INTERESTING PART! ENJOY!


AHNNA LEIGH & EMMA SWIMMING IN THEIR "PUDDLE JUMPERS"



RING AROUND THE ROSEY-POOL STYLE!!



SHE JUST LOVES TO GO SWIMMING!!!!

THIS IS HER FAVORITE POSE LATELY. SHE DOES IT ALL THE TIME.

P365-DAY 2: DANCE RECITALS & HAIR CUTS

WELL, I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT THROUGH 2 WHOLE DAYS OF P365! SWEET! ANYWAY, I'VE INCLUDED SOME PICTURES FROM AHNNA LEIGH'S FIRST DANCE RECITAL WHICH WAS JUNE 20TH. SHE WAS TOO CUTE! SHE "DANCED" & WAVED AT EVERYBODY. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO WALK OFF THE STAGE WAVING, SHE DID IT PERFECTLY. BUT! WHEN EVERYBODY STARTED CLAPPING, SHE TURNED AROUND & CAME BACK & JUST STOOD THERE! IT WAS LIKE SHE WAS SAYING, "WELL, IF YA'LL ARE CLAPPIN' WHY WOULD I WANNA LEAVE?!" IT WAS TO ADORABLE IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.
AHNNA LEIGH WITH ROE ROE (ZOE) & DOODLE (CAMDEN) ELMORE. SOME OF HER FAVORITE PEOPLE!

THE BEGINNING OF THE DANCE. SHE DOES THIS POSE ALL. THE. TIME.

TODAY WAS NOT VERY EXCITING. WE WENT TO SAM'S WITH MY MAMAW, MAMA, & MY SISTER, ERIN. LIKE I SAID, NOT VERY EXCITING. WE CAME HOME FROM THERE & TOOK A NAP THEN HUNG OUT AT HOME WITH ZACH. IT WAS REALLY NICE & RELAXING.
THE HIGH POINT OF THE DAY WAS AHNNA LEIGH'S HAIRCUT! WE REALLY WANT TO LET IT GROW LONG BUT IT JUST BREAKS OFF SOOOOO EASILY! IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER PULLING THE HAIR TIES, CLIPS & BOWS OUT WITHOUT LETTING ME HELP. IT CAN DO SOME DAMAGE. ANYWAY, SHE HAD SOME MAJOR SPLIT ENDS & BREAKAGE NOT TO MENTION THE NEW GROWTH SHE'S GOT GOIN ON. I TOOK HER TO KIDS SUPER SALON & WAS VERY IMPRESSED! THE LADY WHO CUT HER HAIR DID AN AWESOME JOB & I THINK IT'S THE BEST IT'S EVER LOOKED. IT'S MUCH HEALTHIER & LOOKS SO MUCH THICKER. I LOVE IT. CAN YOU TELL? HA HA!
THE BACK OF HER PRETTY LITTLE HED! ISN'T IT SO SHINY & PRETTY?!
ANOTHER PRETTY VIEW OF MY PRETTY GIRL!!!!

PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PICTURE OF THE DAY. SHE'S SUCH A DADDYS GIRL.

P365-LET'S SEE HOW THIS GOES




WELL, HAVING BEEN INSPIRED BY OTHER BLOGS THAT I READ I HAVE DECIDED TO ATTEMPT P365. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, I'LL EXPLAIN. I WILL POST AT LEAST ONE PICTURE EVERYDAY. OF COURSE, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE OF AHNNA LEIGH SINCE NOBODY WANTS TO SEE ME & ZACH. WE ARE NO WHERE NEAR AS CUTE! HA! I'M GETTING A LATE START DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR COMPUTER BIT THE DUST & WE ARE JUST NOW GETTING ONE THAT WORKS & INTERNET ACCESS.
ANYWAY, PLEASE COMMENT!I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF MY PICTURES BUT MAINLY I WANT FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO DON'T SEE US ON A REGULAR BASIS TO BE ABLE TO SEE AHNNA LEIGH AND HOW MUCH SHE'S GROWING & CHANGING! PLEASE EXCUSE TODAY'S PICTURE. IT'S PRETTY BAD BECAUSE I TOOK IT WITH MY PHONE. I'M NOT YET IN THE HABIT OF TAKING MY CAMERA WITH ME WHEREVER WE GO TO CATCH OUR DAILY LIVES SO THE PHONE WAS ALL I HAD. THIS WAS TAKEN AT CONCORD MILLS ON THE JEFF GORDAN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL PLAYGROUND. AHNNA LEIGH ALWAYS WANTS TO PLAY WHEN WE GO TO THE MALL& WE GO THERE FREQUENTLY FOR ME TO WALK LAPS & TO LET HER RIDE THE CAROUSEL. (SHE HAS A FREQUENT RIDER CARD! IT'S VERY HANDY!) IT WAS PRETTY CLOUDY WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN TODAY SO SWIMMING WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA & NEITHER WAS GOING TO THE PARK. SO, TO THE INDOOR PLAYGROUND WE WENT!
AHNNA LEIGH GOT A PRIZE TODAY FOR NOT HAVING ANY ACCIDENTS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS! SO, I DECIDED TO KILL 2 BIRDS WITH 1 STONE! INSTEAD OF GETTING MORE LITTLEST PET SHOPS (WHICH SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES, BY THE WAY) I TOLD HER I'D GET HER A GAME THAT WOULD NOT ONLY SERVE AS HER "NO ACCIDENTS" PRIZE BUT ALSO AS ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE CAR RIDE TO THE BEACH NEXT WEEK! WE GOT A LEAPFROG, TEXT & LEARN! I HAVE TO SAY THAT I THINK THIS IS A REALLY COOL TOY! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE A PDA. SHE CAN "TEXT" BACK & FORTH WITH SCOUT THE COMPUTERIZED DOG ON THE SCREEN, PLAY GAMES THAT REQUIRE HER TO RECOGNIZE LETTERS & SHAPES, PUSH THE LETTER BUTTONS TO HEAR THE SOUNDS THEY MAKE & WORDS THAT START WITH THEM, & LISTEN TO DIFFERENT STYLES OF MUSIC INCLUDING ROCK'N'ROLL, SALSA, & "SILLY"! SHE HAS TO USE THE ARROW BUTTONS TO GET TO THE GAMES SHE WANTS SO IT ALSO WORKS ON DIRECTIONS LIKE UP, DOWN, LEFT, & RIGHT. SHE'S GONNA LEARN SOOOO MUCH! SHE PICKS UP ON EVERYTHING SO FAST SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ALL SHE LEARNS FROM HER "VIDEO GAME".
WELL, THAT'S IT FOR TODAY! TIME TO PUT LOTS OF MUSIC ON THE IPOD FOR THE BEACH TRIP!
