Great Grandma McFarlands

So our travels continue in PA. We have been at Great Grandma's for two and a half days and I am so sticky and hot. So not use to this weather. We have been going out doing all the old things dad use to do when he was little. Stevie has been having a blast because of all the animals. It seems we are out five times a day throwing rocks into to crick trying to hit the frog. He keeps scaring me because the kid has no fear and is leaning just a little to far.

Dusty's wedding was yesterday. We survived both weddings. It was fun. We had to skip the reception because of the kids but it was good to see my Uncle Den. He looked hot and tired. I am glad he made it and that we were able to see him. Hopefully the doctor will give him some good news.

Today was just an easy day. Went to church and saw all the relatives that I have no idea who they are. I know some by name, but it is what it is. I haven't been back here in ten years so I didn't expect to know anyone. After me and the babies got naps, and dad took his drive (again) with mom, we went to Blands park or whatever it is called now. Both kids got to ride some rides. Abbie had a fun time on the carousal with her grandpa. Stevie got to ride the carosual, boats, the firetruck, flying elepahnts and the train. The boats were my favortie as a kid and he really liked when I showed him how to use the bell.

I just can't beleive how much my babies have grown in the last 10 days. Stevie is such a grandmas boy right now. He started calling her ma or mama (I told mom i wasn't offended because I am mommy now). SHe has gotten him to eat just about averything, noodles, mac and cheese, and pretty much everything hse asks him to try. Hopefully that will continue once we get home.

Abbie is pretty much sitting by herself with help from behind. She is so over babyfood and is trying really hard to get table food. Right now I do give her both, but I have to keep yelling at grams since she is trying to sneak in chicken fingers and french fries. I have relaxed since Stevie was born, but I am not ready for her to eat meats. She has been trying all sorts of fruits. Abbie had a strawberry when we went strawberry picking last week. I gave her kiwi tonight that she loved. She really likes mashed potatoes. I have to say I am glad one of my kids will eat mashed potatoes. It would be nice though, if she had just a few more teeth. She only had the 2 front bottom ones right now, but the way she is eating, you would think she has a mouthful.
