Wow!

Ok...Wow! Sorry for the HUGE delay in posting. We haven't had internet at home in a while, therefore no pictures and I never really got online long enough to check out/update the blog. Bad Mama! But, thanks to my Gramps, he reminded me that I need to keep up with this. And I really want to, so that Adriana can read back some day and think about what a CRAZY Mama she's got and one that loves her more than life itself!

Let's see...My little GIRL (no more baby, even though she knows she'll always be Mama's baby!) is now just about 3 short months from turning FOUR. Where has the time gone? It feels like she just came home from Guatemala yesterday. She's very much like her Mama with her sassy attitude (I blame it on my Mom. Haha. She raised me and she has Adriana most of the day now, while I'm at work.....hey, its just easier to blame someone. LOL) Just teasin'. She's a great kid. I love her to death. She's enrolled into school for the Fall. Hopefully she'll get in (they take 4yo's first and she misses the cut off date by 9 days, so she'd be in the "3yo group"). We won't know more for a couple of weeks. She really keeps saying that she doesn't want to go, so if she doesn't make it in this fall, I won't push it, but she'll definitely go next Fall. Then she'd start Kindergarten the fall after that. (Let's not think about THAT yet, though!) This summer we've enjoyed lots of swimming, hanging with friends, playing at the park and doing puzzles. Adriana LOVES puzzles. She can put together those 24pc. ones faster than I can. Little shit! She is amazing.

She isn't growing too quickly. She's 24lbs and about 32" tall. Poor thing couldn't even ride kiddy rides at the fair this year. She was soooo bummed. At one point she said to me in a whiny voice "But Mama..I eat all da time and I'm still not getting bigger". Poor thing!

Well, I must head off to work now, but I will be sure to add some pictures this afternoon/evening of my little princess! Have a great day!

Hugs!
