I don't know if it's because she knows she wants something but just can't say the words or what her problem is but Mary is one big whiner lately. Seriously! Whine, whine, whine.
"Mary what do you want?"
(whine whine whine)
"Do you want to get up?"
(whine whine...."up")
So I pick her up.
(whine whine whine)
"Do you want to get down?"
(whine whine "DOOOOOWN!") she is fairly dramatic afterall.
So I put her down.
(whine whine whine)
And the cycle continues. Any suggestions?

As if there was ever any doubt...
Last night...in a nutshell...describes exactly why we felt the call to move up here.
I stopped by my parents store in the afternoon to grab some sweetcorn and other fresh goodies. As soon as I walked in, mom scooped Mary up and began showing her off to anyone who was willing to listen. After finishing up there I came back home where 'grandpa' was working outside. He stopped to play with Mary for a bit when up the driveway comes Uncle Tim and the twins. Of course the boys promptly mauled Mary over (not that she was complaining) and they all proceeded to giggle and run in the grass for a bit.
After they left, Kurt came home from work. We ate our sweet corn outside, sitting on the picnic table while the dogs ran around the yard. After finishing the tasty supper, we (Kurt, Mary and I) went for a family four-wheeler ride down to the pond and through a new trail that my dad had cleared. We enjoyed watching two young deer chase each other round and round. On the way back up I noticed some black-cap bushes and while Kurt gave Mary a bath I ran back out to pick a bowl-full.
After putting Mary to bed, Kurt and I sat on the couch and munched on berries (that I picked) and peaches (from my folks store) and just talked about how good life here is.
I just feel so blessed. So very, very blessed.

daddy's day
We spent father's day weekend doing (what else?) camping!!! Kurt and my brother in law Tim set up camp just outside of town and we spent the weekend relaxing and enjoying the warm weather. Mary surprised us with the very best Father's Day gift ever...she slept in until 8:15 that morning! YES!!!
Daddy and Mary snuggling under the awning of the camper.
Mary and Kurt take a dip in the kiddie pool (a birthday gift from Aunt Sarah)
I love this pic of Clayton and his daddy Tim.
Look at this cheeseball just loving the swings! She cracks me up!the new mom
Did I tell you about the shirt Kurt made me wear for Mother's Day? He's such a nerd. Between the t-shirt, the corasage, and my new "mom" necklace I felt like I should have a neon sign blinking "MOTHER'S DAY" over my head!
Who am I kidding? I'm an attention junkie, I totally loved it.
3 generations of mothers: my grandma, my mom, and my sister Stacy and I with our kids
Seriously, do they get cuter than this? Mary with her cousins Christian and Clayton.

Mary's party was already a month ago! Man oh man...time flies. We had a blast camping and enjoyed just being all together for a nice long weekend. Mary got so many thoughtful gifts...more toys than any little girl ever needs!
She was a bit hesitant with her cake at first. I wanted her to just go hog wild, but it took awhile for her to warm up to it. Once we gave her a spoon she began 'attacking' it and had a blast with that. Soon enough...cake was everywhere. That's my girl. :)
And of course we took pictures to prove it:
Hey this spoon is pretty cool...maybe I'll go nutso on my cake with it!
Mmmm....Mary likey.

Not sure what to think about this cake thing...

Mmmm....Mary likey.a funny
For the many who have already heard this story a billion times...I apologize. I just think it's so darn funny.
A few weeks ago Kurt was going to the bathroom and he left the door open (come on - we all do it in our own homes!). Sure enough, little Mary comes toddling in.
She's hitting his calves when he says, "Mary - no no! Mary get away! Mary...that's daddy's private part."
Right on cue she loudly exclaims. "WOW!!!"
I literally didn't stop laughing for 10 minutes.

When it's been too long
The hard part of blogging is...well...keeping up. And sometimes too much time slips by and then you have a billion and one things to blog about. The funny thing is, you sit down at the computer and you've got so much to say but no idea on where to begin. Hence...lots of little blogs for your reading enjoyment.
