Ok...it has been way too long since I have updated this blog. I have been updating on Facebook , and I am sure overloading everyone's newsfeed with my pictures and videos. I have decided to to start back up this blog. Not only do I want a place where I do not dominate newfeeds, but I want to be able to, at some point, print this blog into a book so my girls have a "scrapbook" of their childhood. So, here it goes. A new beginning in blogging for the McNab family!

More than 9 months have passed since I last blogged. In that 9 months, my Morgan turned 13 and Bella turned 3! Wow! Talk about craziness in our household. Here are some pics of birthdays.

Summer has been great so far. we have gone to the pool, NJ, I went to Florida, celebrated a birthday, went strawberry picking, blue berry picking x2, and blackberry picking. Cannot believe that it is almost August. August brings great things in our house......Mine and Greg's Anniversary (15 years!), vacation to NJ to see family, and preparation to structure :)

Morgan has had a pretty laid back summer. She participated in a few swim meets and achieved a few personal bests. She has discovered that she loves reading books about ghosts and has already read 2 books this summer, working on her 3rd. And to think she didn't like reading before ;) Last week and this week, she is attending a Leadership Camp. It is a Jr. version of a Counselor in Training camp. She seems to really like it and says that she wants to be a camp counselor in the future :) She is still into forensics and wants to also attend a summer forensics camp next year designed for high schoolers......yes, next summer, Morgan will be a high schooler! OMG!! Oh, and i forgot, Morgan has discovered Buffy the Vampire Slayer series on netflix. She has watched every episode and now is moving onto Angel.....funny how shows from the 80s are still around and strong.

Bella, our little devil...I mean angel ;) Bella continues to keep us on our toes. She is far to smart for her own good and for ours, as well...LOL. Bella turned 3 a few days ago. Today she said to me, with a sad face, "it isn't my birthday anymore." We still have the decorations up and she is still playing birthday party, though. On her birthday, we went to Paradise of Fun indoor bounce place in Frederick. She had a blast. Yesterday, we went to the Maryland Science Center. We had alot of fun, although it was HOT! Bella starts preschool in August and will also be attended a PEP Pilot class in my school 2 days per week for 2 hours each day. She will have the opportunity to be in a regular classroom setting with some kids who she will transition to kindergarten with and also with some children with mild disabilities, a great opportunity for all!

Greg and I are GREAT! I cannot believe that we will be celebrating 15 years in a few weeks. Our journey, so far, has been full of ups, downs, bumps, curves....but we always seem to find our way to that beautiful road that continues to take us on our journey of life :)

Until next time, which will not be long.....
