June 14th - June 28th 2009

Well, we have been a little busy lately.. Summer is in full swing and it is HOT! Most days the temperature hits somewhere between 100 and 110 degrees, sometimes feeling even hotter! Rory went to see her doctor on Friday the 26th for a well child visit, and everything is fine. She had to get a shot, but she was a champ about it. She has finally said "mama" but only a handful of times. That is enough for me!

She wants to talk so badly it's like she knows what she wants to say, the words just won't come out. "Words" sounding like "dat dat dat", shh, sth, etc. She is also pointing to things that she wants.

On another note, the Grigsby side of our family has been dealing with a lot of sadness lately. We have been to two funerals within 3 weeks. The first was Jessica's uncle Tad (my aunt Denny's husband) who passed away suddenly on May 31st, and the second was Jessica's great grandma Ann (my grandma Pat's mother) who passed away on Father's Day at the age of 96.  They will both be greatly missed. 

RIP Uncle Tad.

RIP Grandma Ann

In world news, stars like Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays have died all within days of each other. This has been a rough year for many, many people and our prayers go out to them.

Here are the latest:

Rory being adorable!!

Playing the piano at my grandma's house. I Loved it!

I would just hit the keys and it would make a sound!

My first inflatable pool at my grandma's house! I swam naked!

That cold water felt good on that hot day

Here I am with my uncle Sean at my grandpa's house

With my gigi at her house for dinner

This was my first experience with Jello.. notice that expression!

Thinking.. "make my day, punk".

Here I am yesterday at my mom's salon while my grandma gets her hair done.

I would press my face on my play pen and talk to grandma.

And then I made really funny faces and make the whole room laugh!
