Seriously!.... it's already been over a month!

Well,yet another month has flown by. We can only excuse our lack of blogging with the fact that we've been busy...having FUN!

During April we participated in the Fresno March for Babies. Each year we that we walk to support the March of Dimes, we are reminded of the special gift we were given... a healthy premature baby girl. How blessed we are!! It's a privilege to walk with families who are all united in such a cause.

Jennah and Andy... on the trail, headed to the finish line!

Downtown Clovis "Big Hat Days" ... I guess Jennah thought it was "Big Umbrella Days"
Busy, but Jennah and I made time for matching pedicures...

Jennah is continually doing things that make me laugh.
Like finding a "flower" (really a weed) and insisting that it take a "bap" (bath) with her.
Who needs Fisher Price pricey bath toys!?

And of course... it wouldn't be us if there wasn't a trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium!
Andy and Jennah doing rub art...
Making friends...

Learning about "sea stars"...I'm constantly being reminded of how Jennah is such an obedient child. She has spoiled me, but I'm grateful that I do not know thereal meaning of "Terrible Two's." Just today at church, the other kids/parents around us were getting a little elevated in their talking during "quiet time"... Jennah made sure that those less disobedient people around us were made conscious of their level of volume by saying blatantly, "oh, so too loud!" I was embarrassed for a second, but so proud of her need to in line with social rules.

In the picture below, Jennah is at a toddler splash station that is made for toddlers who are not of her intensity. ALL of the toddlers that played at the stationed splashed their hands in the water multiple times... with enough power to shower their own parents and guests nearby. But then there is my baby... giving the little toy fish a "bap" (bath)... gently rubbing the tummy. Not one drop of water left the station with Jennah's doing.
How did I get so lucky to have such a good girl!?!?
Buddy LOVED the beach (he's ours)... good thing we brought the stroller... for him!??!
We've done several trips to the zoo. Passes... you want to get your money's worth!
After so many trips, Jennah has now become our tour guide. She'll take you anywhere you want to go... so long as it's where she wants to go too!



Elephants are her favorite, so far...

Mother's Day turned into Mother's Weekend... days full of haircuts (bangs and all), mani-pedies, and purse buying. Whoo-hooo!!


Clovis "Farmer's Market" has started... which was a perfect place to have Jennah's 1st pony ride. She got on fine, eyes were huge... but after 30 seconds... she'd made a friend for life. Teddy, the Pony.
Lately Andy and I are discussing how all of the sudden Jennah is a "big" girl. She can do things.... like reach the sink to wash her hands... reaching the light switches... independence... freedom... where did my baby go???Like Daddy, like Daughter... using chopsticks!?!?!?... for the 1st time!

A "pre-birthday" celebration... Jennah had a day with Grammie, while Andy took me on a shopping spree to IKEA... West Sacramento. 6 hours... and 2 IKEA cafe meals later... the damage... had to be rolled out in two loads.
We've had a lot of ladybug friends in our yard lately.... Jennah is so gentle and loves to talk and sing to her Lady Friends.
Sorry again, for the delay... but as you can see.... we're busy as bees!!!
I only have 8 1/2 days left of work... I promise I'll be better about blogging this summer!!
