Rain, rain...go away...

...you are making Bella cry. We had pretty severe weather tonight. Lots of rain, golf ball sized hail, lightening, and thunder. It woke Bella up and now she is terrified to go to sleep. She keeps saying "rain all done" and "light all done." I am not used to this since Morgan has always been such a HEAVY sleeper. Bella is the opposite...but to be expected since she is the opposite of Morgan in every other way!

This weekend, Bella started saying "I want ____" on her own, without cues! It is such an awesome thing to see the development of a toddler. I love watching and seeing what she will do or say next.

Morgan is doing great! She got 3 As and the 4 Bs on her latest report card. GO MORGAN!! She participated in her school's talent show. She played her violin to America the Beautiful.

Morgan has decided, with some encouragement from mom, to start an Etsy business. I thought it would be a fun way for her to learn about money. Here is her shop, if you want to go check it out. She is so excited about it.

For some reason, blogger wont let me hyperlink to her website. So, you must do it the old fashioned way, copy and paste: www.tiles4kidz.etsy.com

Leave her some love if you can )

Well, until next time.

Spring is here!!!

Spring is here and the McNab girls love the Spring time. Morgan loves being outside to watch nature and Bella loves being a dare devil on her scooter and bike. We go for walks in the evenings and go the park before dinner when the weather is warm. One thing my girls have in common is the love for the outdoors. Bella would stay outside ALL OF THE TIME if she could!

So...catch up time. We made a last minute trip to Virginia to spend time with my sister-in-law and her family. It was our first trip to their new house in Virginia. We had a really nice but short weekend. we went over Easter weekend so we had to tell the Easter bunny we werent going to be home. Morgan had fun playing with Gigi while Bella loved her Erin and Natie bug...Erin calls Bella "Fellas." Too cute!

Unfortunately, a few days after we returned from Virginia, Grandmom Park passed away. It was sudden and very sad. We went to Pennsylvania for family time with Greg's family and Grandmom's funeral. It was nice to see family, but hopefully next time under better circumstances.



MORGAN
Morgan continues with violin and is doing great! She got her 3rd quarter report card and got 3 As and 4 Bs. We are so proud of her! She is growing up so fast!

BELLA
Bella continues to keep us busy. She is very independent and knows what she wants. She speaks in short sentences. It is amazing to watch her grow and change before our eyes.

Until next time.

Bella did it again!

Bella pee peed in the potty again. Last night she asked to sit on the potty. She sat and sat, got up, sat then pee peed!! Wooohoo!

Pictures from today.....

Bella is sick, again :( This time, she has a fever and is miserable. Trying to get her t drink has been so difficult so she has been eating popcicles. She asks for them....too cute. Here is a picture.

While wandering around the kitchen today, Bella grabbed the big bag of pretzels off of the island and dumped it all over the floor. "uh-oh." Morgan helped me vacuum it up and so did Bella....here are pics.




Oh, and a sample of art work that Bella and I did today.

Long time........

Been MIA for a few weeks. Not too much has happened over the past few weeks. Morgan is doing good. We had a mommy and daughter day today...just Morgan and I. We went out to lunch, shopping, and to the movies. It was such an awesome day. We are planning to do a mommy and daughter day more often.........maybe once a month.

Bella continues to keep us all very busy. Let's see...."mommy, come on!" and "no" are frequent words from our lil' miss Bella. She amazes us every day with her language. She is such a smart little girl. Sometimes, too smart. She is so good and listens at daycare but with me, the complete opposite. Boy is she a handful and I know my parents are loving this.

Will post some pics tomorrow.

GOING STIR CRAZY

We have been stuck in the house for over a week now and are going crazy. well, I am . Morgan is quite content with her Wii, DS, videos, books, and toys. Bella is quite content with tearing the house apart. I am ready to go back to work!

Bella now say "come on" when she wants you. She speaks in short sentences, although most words blended together. She loves to sing the ABCs and count to 10!

Most Awesome News!!!! Bella has pee peed in the potty two times in the past few days. She has always wanted to play with her potty...putting it on her head and putting toys in it. Now, when I go potty, she goes potty. She likes to read books and look at the toys r us catalog from Christmas while sitting and trying.
