Fun, Games, and Chit Chat

Well, we've made it four weeks living at my parents' house and nobody has been voted out yet.... Really things are going very well and we're having a great time.

Kate loves all the extra attention and calls for her Nanny and Pa whenever we return home. We are about 20 days from moving into our own home and I think her and I will miss the company. We've been keeping ourselves busy with park time, library time, and visiting all our friends in the area. Kate is getting more independent in play and more girly. Her new thing is plastic jewelry. I really don't wear much jewelry so I'm not sure where this affinity comes from, but it certainly occupies some time. Thank you very much to Gammy and Pop Pop for this great new collection.
With the colder weather setting in, we have been looking for more activities especially at night. One particularly rainy evening we took Kate to Chuck 'E Cheese. I'm not sure who had more fun Kate or Brian. Brian taught her to play the horse racing game and he himself enjoyed a few of the sports games. I guess it truly is a place for a kid to be a kid, or a kid at heart in Brian's case.

One of the neatest things as of late has been Kate's exploding language. She pretty much repeats anything we say and it is very fun to have little conversations with her. It always surprises us what she recognizes and comes up with. You can hear a little of her chatting in the link below though the truly spontaneous lines are the cutest.

What! No camel in the letter C book...LOL I can't believe how fast she is learning and growing up. The kids are dying to see her again (and you 2). We love watching the videos.
