Happy Memorial day everyone. :) This weekend we have been enjoying our time together as a family before David leaves on his trip to Nashville for the week.

It sure is nice to have David home... and Nora will agree. She is so funny with her "Dad-Ee HOOOOOOooooooooooommme!" expressions. She's said it at least a hundred times during this weekend :)

We are missing our friends in Savannah - Jay, Tricia, Tyler, Tanner & Trip. We hate that we had to cancel our plans to come be with you all this weekend!!! We would have loved so much to meet baby Trip! Maybe things will work out for us to come this fall - perhaps the end of October?

David will be traveling to Firestone's home office for a managers meeting in Nashville. Last year he didnt' tell his family about his trip and snuck in on them one evening. This year they know he's comming and Kathy already has plans to fire up the grill for some BBQ for David!

....I sure wish we could have traveled with him on this trip but the prices of airline tickets has skyrocketed this year and it just isn't possible for us.... and Nora could have flown free... doesn't look like we will be getting to take advantage of the "up to age 2 free special" anymore b/c she turns 2 in less than a month!

Well..Nora and i are looking forward to our end of June trip to KY for the 4th of July. We have been planning this trip for a year now! :) :) :)

ok, the folks at aboutmybaby.com were so helpful today with the SPAM problem. Thankfully none of you received all the emials that I did. WHEW! at least that is what they assured me.

I have started to scan Nora's postcards and will continue to add them when time allows. She has so many now! 30+ They cover her closet door and bedroom door. We look at them at least 3-4 tiems a day as we pass by.

Nora will stop and reach up and say "Hoooold Ma" wanting me to pick her up so she can get a closeup look at each one. We take turns... I will ask her what's that? and she tells me and then sometimes I ask where is such-n-such and she points. After we are done, I tell her "Nora is so smart!" and I sign "smart" and she will put her hand over her nose - suppose to put middle finger on forehead... and she will say "SNOT" it is funny!

I am so amazed at how much she is learning from all of her postcards already! Train, Water, Ocean, Boat, Bear, she especially loves looking at the animals on the cards! Lots of my quilting buddies online have been so helpful in sending her postcards from all over the world! Nora has even received 2 fabric quilted postcards even! They are really cool!

Even our friend, Miss Suzanne, who works in the photo lab at CVS sent Nora two post cards during her recent trip to Canada when she visited her family for a month! - I guess you could say we are gettin to know the people in our small town pretty well :)

If you have our address, we would love to receive a postcard from your part of the world! :) Nora has YET to get a card from GEORGIA for her collection! I know, hard to believe that isn't it!!?!??

We got spammed! Yes a stupid generic Pharmacy linked it's adds to the comments sectionto one of our photos. I kept getting email notifications that someone had left a comment and clicked to see and it was junk. I at first contacted aboutmybaby about it to see if they coudl help me remove the smap links... but kept getting more and more from the pharmacy so I just deleted the photo and am hoping that this will work... crossing fingers!

I hope none of you got the email about the comments being added - I don't know if they are set up to nitify everyone or just us when someone adds a comment? I am sorry for this. Bonnie

ok, sorry it has been forever since posting anything....I had added some photos not too long ago but hadn't addded any news......well David decided to log in and didn't have the password and instead of asking me hit the button for password help and they reset it sending it to our email - only the message didn't go to the "in box" instead went and hung out in the junk mail folder with 381 other junk messages....

It wasn't until last night that I figured all of this out and had to go digging thur all of them! whew, I know that is a terrible runon sentance but I don't feel like backspacing and correcting it. LOL :)

I will post news as I remember it and post date them as they happened. So if you get an email update that new stuff has happened you will know what is going on :) You can always click at the top of the page on the LatestNews link too.

Love from Texas, Bonnie
