World's Record

Well, as far as I am concerned, Kellan set a new world record today.  Lately she has been taking her time eating her food.  By taking her time, I mean that she chews her food a little, and then, like a chipmunk, stores it in her cheek until she decides it is time to swallow.  Now, it hasn't been too bad or too frequently that she does this, but tonight was the end-all.  We ate chicken, carrots, and green beans for dinner.  She had a bite of chicken going when she took a carrot bite, and after an hour and twenty minutes she finally swallowed it all.  Mike and I got a true lesson on patience.  Here are a few pictures of our little one - how sweet they are!!  Check out those cheeks!!!  I don't know what we did for entertainment before kids!

Happy Fourth!!!

We had such a blast for the fourth of July!  We went over to Mike's Aunt Jane and Uncle Daniel's house in North Richland Hills.   It was an impromptu family reunion!  There were 10 kids under 12, so we were almost outnumbered.  Mike's mom and dad both were able to come in as well as one of his cousins from Oklahoma (she has a set of triplet girls that are7). 

 We also brought our dog, Moses, with us, so he was also able to get in on the fun with his friends at Aunt Jane's!

We had a full day of swimming, sliding, playing basketball, hanging out, and of course, eating!!  I was also reintroduced to the fascinating game of Rummikub.  I enjoyed playing, but I believe there are very few of us who actually do like the game.  

Mike's Mom and Dad are both about to move close to us!  Mike's dad has given him a transfer to the area, and he starts here next week.  Mike's mom is waiting for her house to sell in Amarillo, and then she'll join us.  We are so excited that Gramma and Papaw will be in town for good very soon!  

Other than that, our only other news is that Kellan is slowly but surely learning to potty train.  We are having fun running to the potty every 20 minutes.  Hopefully she'll be done by the end of summer.  

Hope your summer is going great!!
