Talking part 2

My mom apparently left some invisible comment in cyberspace asking me to add one of MJ's first words: "Ma-maw," meaning "Grandma"... True, true. There are a few words I did forget about.. things like "tut-tut" for "turtle" and "day-day" for dancing. You have to use your imagination a bit! Also, when we were at that petting zoo in Indiana (AGAIN with the PETTING ZOO!) and Madison first saw her first duck, she right away said "quack quack." Too cute!

These days she is an avid reader and will get her own books and sit in a little spot and "read" to us, which is a little mumbling sound that sort of sounds like words. Ha! I guess that must be what we sound like when we read to her! Kind of like the Charlie Brown grown-up voice.

And you may notice the format of this blog has changed -- but it's the same old blog at heart. I have to say I am a big fan of the blog these days. I feel like it's so much more substantial than reading someone's profile or update on facebook. It gives you a little insight into your friends' lives, their worlds, and by the end you feel like you've had a mini-conversation with them. I like being able to sit back w/ a cup of coffee and read my "news." :)
And yes this is for the people who've slacked off on blogging! I miss you!!!

By the way, we are heading down to Manitou Springs tomorrow for the weekend for our 5-YEAR-ANNIV! Hard to believe 5 years has gone by...........
