I "heart" new speech goals!

Mary Kate gave us a new speech goal this week; to identify an object or picture by descriptors (instead of just the word.) Lilly was rockin' it with the flash cards we had.

I thought she was doing so well I would "push" a little harder to see what she could do - wow - Nana's been working that's for sure!

Shades "How 'bout that"

Mommy does love her school very much! I guess I talk about it a lot and obviously in a good light. I asked Lilly where mommy teaches and her was her response...


p.s. if you will note she also likes to turn the letter I to make an H...smart girl :-)

Marathon Love

Lilly's school, The Bell Center, receives the majority of their funding through one yearly fundraiser, The Mercedes Marathon. This year Jennifer Andress and my cousin William were her "partners in training." Together they raised almost $7,000 for The Bell Center!

On Saturday there was a 5K and then the Children's Run where all The Bell Center Kids ran "across" the finish line. After that there was the kids marathon. On Sunday Jennifer ran the marathon and William ran the half marathon. We saw many other friends that morning and I must say they are all amazing!

Here is a sample of the weekend and all the fun events!
