Still hard to write much, but we are enjoying the new house and I definitely LOVE getting ready for Christmas!

Last Halloween in Floyd, I enjoyed my time with MiMi, Mr. Alan, and my FAV Ms. Jessica!

LOVE JESSICA!!!! She gave me popcorn and we played with Scout!!! I sure do miss her!

Enjoying a great weekend with Mommy and Dad! We made a silly pumpkin and went to the playground at the school I will attend in a few years!

It’s hard to write this knowing Mal won’t comment, Mom doesn’t even know what to say. We all miss her like crazy and we’ve been trying to find a new way to be there for each other. Pap has been coming to see me a lot, I love him so much! He’s helped us a lot in our new house and we’ve had some great times together building things, playing in the game room, walking, and so much more. I talk about Mal a lot, hopefully that helps everyone. I even picked up a place for her to sit at our table for Christmas. I have lots of things that will help me remember her and memories of her love that will last always.

Ummm…so, while mom while otherwise engaged I totally got her phone, spelled by name on her keyboard with some numbers, and sent it to Aunt Rhonda! Needless to say mom was a little shocked, so here’s a video of me showing her how I sent my name to dad!

Wow! It has been a long time since Mom posted! We have had quite a bit of changes! Dad has his new job as Chief Information Officer of Blue Ridge Community College, so yes, we are moving, we close on our new house at the end of September! 🙂

Most of the pictures that follow will be from Aunt Becky and Uncle Ben’s wedding in San Deigo! I got to fly on my FIRST AIRPLANE!

I’ve enjoyed my summer so much! So far this July I’ve got to spend time with lots of family members and go to some cool places!

Skyline Caverns was a thrill–I loved looking at all the rocks and to be in the cold and the dark. I even got to touch a rock, they don’t let you touch them except one. We also went to the Air and Space Museum which I LOVED! I asked all kinds of questions about the airplanes and got to see some real ones land/take off from the tower at Dulles!

I’m also learning soooooo much, especially math. Mom and dad can ask me questions like “If you have 3 trains and get 2 more how many do you have” and I impress them with the correct answers every time! I don’t even have to use my fingers 😉 Subtraction is a bit harder though, might just have to wait until I’m four for that!

Can you believe Mom even let me ride on a 4-wheeler with Ernie and Nanny? Well, she didn’t really let me, Nanny just made sure it happened! But Mom was pretty okay when she saw me grinning from ear to ear! Nanny even said that I could ride to FL with them in the motorhome and meet mom in CA in August for Becky’s wedding! Mom said she’d miss me too much and then I told her “It’ll be okay mom, don’t worry about it!” I got some big laughs out of that one!

Summer is a pretty precious time for me and mom, can’t believe it will be coming to an end soon. But, I’ll continue to grow and laugh no matter what the season!
