ONE VERY PROUD DADA!!!!!!

Bill got a very special Father's Day gift from Abby last night. We were all at the table eating dinner. Abby was in her highchair playing and chatting away. All of a sudden Emily said "she said DADA". Bill and I thought we heard it too. We all got quite including Abby and Bill looked to her and said DADA and she repeated it plain as day "DADA". That was no way for me to deny it. She even said it a few more time last night. Then she reconfirmed it again this morning when MEME came over to see the girls. I really am happy for him, not only that she said it first but that he was there to hear it for the very first time. When Emily was just about her age she said MAMA first. It is something I will never forget and I know Bill will never forget Abby's first Father's Day gift for him either!

SLIP - N- SLIDE

Emily got a slip-n-slide and could not wait to break it out and play with her friends. I set it up yesterday and the kids had a blast. I was not sure at first because the kids did not seem to know what to do. Aren't we born the the slip-n-slide instinct? I can remember hours of slip-n-slide fun in my sister and my past. I was so excited for them to get started and all they did was run down and fall to their knees at the end. Good think Mr. Conner had so slip-n-slide know how and in no time they were sliding like pros. I think that it was a well spent $7.50 we will have tons of fun on it. Trying to beat the heat!!!
