You're in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.”

Lot's of new goings on to report in the house of Nell Nell.
Here's a recap of the events:
May 15th McKenna's first tooth started to pop thorough followed about 2 weeks later by her second.
May 18th our little champ started crawling around and hasn't slowed down since. We have been frantically scanning our house for things that need to be baby proofed, but somehow no matter how much baby proofing you do there is still something she can get into that you didn't think of. McKenna has been following us around like a hungry bear cub for the last week and it has become increasingly difficult to get alone time in (I thought it was suppose to be easier as they got older?!) She is getting to a stage where she can't stand being alone and tries desperately to crawl up your legs if you've been away too long.
May 27th was her first time eating out at a restaurant (Tony Romas) for uncle Shawn's 105th (teehee) birthday. She did pretty well as long as she got plenty of the bread and lemonade to nibble on. And both Mark and I had a lot of fun simply because we got to go out and do an adult thing which has become few and far between.
June 3rd She sat up straight for the first time, and drank out of a sippy cup (well, some of it made it into her mouth at least).

Mark and I have been staying busy around here too. I have been staining the back deck like a mad woman when time allows, and it as been turning out very nice. Much better looking than before anyways. Mark has been going up to Shawn's house on weekends to get ready for Joy's big move to this side of the mountains (Marks mom is moving up for those of you who don't know). We are very excited to have Joy here and are eagerly awaiting her arrival. She sold her home in the dust bowl that is Moses Lake and is finally going to breath some of the wonderful smoggy air we have layering our Western Washington cities. Things for the daycare are going slowly, but it doesn't mean we have not made progress. We have been approved for the license, but are in limbo right now awaiting the county to do the paperwork. And last but not least, Mark and I have a date coming up! We are going on a hot air balloon ride next weekend, we will keep you posted on how it went. Hopefully this time the company we are going with won't cancel. They are filled with hot air if you ask me! McKenna is telling me it's time to go so I am outtie. Until next blog,
J
