This is my favorite picture at the moment...if that is even possible.
May is here, already?? I only have two and a half weeks of school left! Finally!! So over it at this point and ready to focus on other things. There is a lot of little things I need to do with the house that I haven't felt up to doing or haven't had time over the last four months or so. I can't wait to be able to spend time with my girl and Zachary. He is starting a different shift and it will take some getting used to, but at least it is only temporary. My sister comes to visit at the end of the month and we are all so excited. Marlee calls her "my TT". I am so glad that Marlee has this "relationship" with her whole family. I say it that way because, although she may not remember their faces, she knows their names and when they come around, she will be attached at the hip. She loves her whole family and if she had her way she would see them everyday. One day we will live closer to at least some of them. It would be really nice to be able to just come down and visit for a weekend or a day even without having to plan out this huge trip cross country. I am sure we will have some other visitors coming towards the end of the year and that will be nice.
On a different note, Miss Marlee is still growing like a weed and will be taller than me by her fourth birthday. I am sure of it! She has such a personality. She is such a sweet girl, but lately (as I have mentioned before) is trying to work out all these emotions she is feeling. We still have timeouts and she doesn't like them, but she is getting the fact that we don't scream, yell, hit, throw things....let's see, yeah I think that covers it, ha! It is a learning experience for us all, and although I may have busted ear drums...it is all worth it in the end. The young lady she will/is growing up to be is amazing. Just yesterday I was talking to my dad on the phone and Marlee wanted to speak to her "opa". I said, "but mommy is talking to Opa"....so she tells me, "but mama you have to share"! What was I supposed to do? Of course I had to share! She is a funny girl! I love the way she says things. She calls her panties..."pansies", how she likes to turn on the "pooter" (computer) and she brushes her "teef", plays in her "woom", etc... I am sure you all get the picture and have heard a child's developing language before.
Well, that is all I have time for today, have a wonderful weekend!
