Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!!!

Well hello ya'll!!!!! How have ya been? We are getting settled in Atlanta and loving it! So sorry I have not been keeping ya'll up to date on my recent travels and activities. Honestly these parents keep me so busy I barely have a moment to myself.

Well lets see where to begin.. Mommy told daddy she thought we should move, maybe head south to be closer to my cousins so we could grow up together and be able to play (plus mommy hates the cold and snow). So they started to form a plan, start applying for jobs, maybe put a for sale by owner sign out on the house to see how it goes, etc. Well as fate would have it Daddy applied to one job at Georgia State University, they called him within a week, he flew out for an interview, within a week or so they made him an offer. Mommy put a for sale sign out in the yard and less than a week later a couple looked at the house 5 minutes after they left they called and said they wanted to buy it. Boom! All happened less than 2 months of mommy and daddy deciding to move to Atlanta. Take that Uncle Matt and Aunt Lori you both said you would believe it when you saw it -well in your face! No really here we are in your face! :) Teehee


So daddy had to start his new job 3 weeks before we could get our house in GA. Mommy and I had to stay in PA and take care of business there. It was hard to say goodbye to daddy. I missed him a lot and mommy said she never wanted to be a single mom. Daddy took Neko with him to GA for support (and to help make things easier for mommy). Were not going to talk about the move or more to the point the movers/moving company because mommy's eye still twitches if you mention it to her. Shhhh, We do not want mommy to go to that unhappy place. Anyway, we made it to GA and we got our dream house - we are such lucky ducks!!! It is perfect for us and we are right by a village where we can walk for coffee and they have restaurants we will go to when I am no longer a potential threat or disturbance to the patrons. Ha, that mommy geesh!

I have an awesome backyard with a swing set and I can play outside all the time now.. Mommy has a fabulous kitchen so she thinks she can cook now. Daddy gets to go to work and bring home the bacon as he says - but he never brings bacon home so I am not sure what that is about.. Mommy let him have a playroom of his own in the house (as long as he keeps it tidy).
So we are just enjoyin the southern weather and hospitality.

I have been so busy with grandparents and more grandparents visiting and birthday parties and cousins and oh my... It has been great! Me and cousin Brobee (as I call him) have so much fun together and Little Peyton is pretty cool too. Neko has settled in and he likes to watch the birds out the front window every morning. We had to take him to the vet hospital, turns out he was chubby and had diabetes. He is feeling better now and I like to play with him, he does not always like to play with me. I tried to ride him the other day and mommy and daddy were not very happy about it. I mean geesh, whats the big deal? All I heard was blah blah , do not break the kitty blah blah already paid a fortune in vet bills blah blah...

So there has been so much happening, I will post some new pics and you can see how big I have gotten. Mommy and daddy just blab about how smart I am , I can count and I know my ABC's and I can sing and dance and not to mention I am just so darn cute! I started a music class and I love it! I get to play instruments and dance and sing and mommy gets to sing and dance too. Mommy also started me in a gym class to try and wear me down. Hmm. I can be quite stubborn and I am full of energy! Mommy can't always keep up. I like to outwit the parents , it is not that difficult sometimes.

So that is what is new here. We are having fun in GA but missing some family and friends. The weather is great (for mommy) daddy misses the snow some. I love that I can play outside so no complaints from me!

Okay I will try and make sure I get on here more often to let you know how I am doing and what is new with me. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I miss you and love you!!

Love,

Happy Birthday Brody and Bye Bye Bad Boobies!

Hello Everybody!!

Sorry I have just been so busy that I have not had time to update my blog. I hope you are all well and I would like to give a special shout out to my cousin Brody, it is his 2nd birthday today! Yay Brody, Happy Birthday and I hope you get lots of presents!! We love you and hope to see you soon.

I want to wish my mommy a happy year free of her bad boobies. We are done with all that icky stuff and are doing much better. Now it can go back to being all about me like it should be!

My cousin Bryce was just here for a visit. We had so much fun, we went to the crayola factory and we went to Chuck E Cheese. They tried to get me to go swimming in the hotel pool but it was loud and I got scared and broke out in hives like mommy does when she gets nervous. Anyway, we had lots of fun together. I like my cousins.

I am growing up very fast or so mommy and daddy tell me. I jabber and say all kinds of words. I like to repeat what mommy and daddy say. Mommy got me flash cards and I am learning new words, animals and numbers. I first started talking about the kitty kitty, then about my ball, I have soccer balls and a Dora ball then I would tell mommy and daddy about the duck. Now I am saying all sorts of things and sometimes it is just so darn frustrating because mommy and daddy don't understand me and what I want, Geesh it is not like I am speaking gibberish here people!

I still love to read my books, I read them everyday. I play in my house and like to build with my blocks and line up different items on the ottoman, window sill r other places, mommy says something about Obsessive compulsive behavior whatever that means! Daddy says it is mommy's fault and I got it from her - then mommy says I got my head and feet from daddy. They are silly. They make me laugh.

Oh I forgot to tell you, I have teeth and lots of em! Chomp Chomp. Mommy and daddy said they can't wait for these last molars to come in- that this and I quote "has been going on for to darn long" when it comes to my teeth mommy and daddy get very perturbed. Is that the right word? Yes I believe that is the word, they said they would use a different one but they would have to put money in my piggy bank. I wake up at night because my teeth hurt. So mommy and daddy whine about not getting sleep anymore. I don't like to lay in my bed with my teeth bugging me, I prefer to lay in mommy and daddys bed so I can make them be as uncomfortable as I am. After all we are a family, one and all or however that goes.

Oh I have a new best favorite show ever! It is called Bubble Guppies and I LOVE them! I still like Gabba but Guppies are the best and I ask for it, I say guppies, guppies?? Mommy and daddy sing and dance like the guppies, or they try too. Hahahaha. I hope they don't do that when my friends are over it is embarrassing!

I like our kitty kitty Neko. He likes to play hide and seek with me, but he is selfish and he always does the hiding! He knows I can't go upstairs and he sometimes runs up there. That is not fair! I like to pat him on his head and his whiskers are cool. I like his tail it is fun to pull, sometimes he nips me when i do that though. Bad Kitty!

I still love it outside, It stinks when it is to cold to go out. I like to run free just run and run and run. We go to the park, who needs swings and a slide when you got all that room to explore! I just run all over the place. Mommy says I am like a greyhound and we need a big yard with a fence for me to run free. That would be fun! Although I am not sure I appreciate her comparing me to a dog. I love animals but still...

Well I guess that is it for the moment. I will have more to report soon so I will keep this short for now.

Lots of love to you all,

Lilly
