Cadie loves her books

Hey Mom!

I'm looking at my books.

I love to flip the pages, especially in this one.

Did you know about this? Great pictures on every page!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? is my favorite! Let's read it again.

New toy

Cadence got a new toy from her daddy a few weeks ago. She's still working on the walking thing - we've had VBS this week and visits from friends and a brief trip to mountains, so we haven't had a lot of play time lately. She loves this thing, not only when she's pushing it or fiddling with the movable parts on, but also when she sits on it (it turns into a riding toy) and we push her around. She laughs like crazy!

Now the beach pics...

My grandma is doing better and hopefully will be out of the hospital sometime next week. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and felt much better today. Cadence turned 10 months old yesterday and got a new tooth (her 6th) today. Most of today was spent running errands and doing chores, but that's okay.

We really had a wonderful trip to my grandparents' beach house last week. (This is the other grandmother, my Nana.) I have so many happy memories and good feelings about visiting this old house, that it's inevitable I have a great time whenever I return. We enjoy the sand and the waves, but we also enjoy talking with my Nana and Dado, and we got to visit with my Aunt Pami and Uncle Rick too. Cadence, of course, loved to socialize with well-loved relatives we just don't get to see enough. And, she really liked the ocean. She sat in my lap with her toes in sand, just digging them in and out, for quite a while.

Anyway, I think the pictures tell a lot of the story...

pics soon

I want to post pictures of our great beach vacation last week, but have been busy at work and at home. Also, my lovely yet quite elderly grandma has been in the hospital for several days and is still not in good shape.

Looking very much forward to the weekend...
