Summer has been so much fun - it's hard to believe that it is over for us this week. Mike and I start back with inservice Monday, and the week after that, McKinley will start her first day of first grade! The photos are of the girls feeding the ducks in our neighborhood (one of our stops on our bike rides). The ducks are pretty fearless. We think they recognize Kellan's little red trailer on the back of Mike's bike and know it's feeding time. They come right up to us and eat out of our hands. The girls really look forward to it - so much so that yesterday McKinley was just eating the meat and cheese out of her sandwich so that she could give the bread to the ducks.
As Kellan is talking more, she is saying so many cute things. I have to take the opportunity to share some "Kellan-isms"!!
Lemonade = yemoname
Moses (our dog) = Moyes
Necklace = Neck-a-ness
Diet Coke - Kiet Coke
Ranch dressing = Ranch up (she combines it with ketchup)
Lip stick - yiptok
Water Bottle - WaudaBoda
Smoochie - Foochie
Chocolate Chip - chick-a-chock-chip
Popsicle - sickymo
She also talks with a northern accent, some of her favorite sayings are "It's so good", and "I can't believe it".
McKinley just started gymnastics, and she is cartwheeling all over the house. She is very accident prone.
She has busted out one of her top teeth in a bike wreck, she was looking in my hope chest, and dropped the lid of it on her nose, and the list goes on and on.
I have to share her picture from her dance recital. She looks all grown up!!
I guess that's all the updating for now. More to come soon, as Mike's mom, dad, and youngest brother are moving about 10 minutes away. We can't wait for them to be here - it will be so nice to have family so close!! His mom and dad already have their Frisco gear on for Mike's football games!
