Preschool Begins!

So, 2 days after we returned from Houston and all the excitement of the McNeil Family Reunion

Gabrielle began preschool. She was tired and cranky because I had to actually wake her up, but once Micah got in the car with her it was all smiles:)

She has done great! She doesn't even run to me when I go to pick her up. She looks at me from across the room and starts pointing at things and people and jabbering 90 miles an hour. I can tell she is having a blast.

She has been expanding her vocabulary by leaps and bounds. Since we returned from Texas, she can say hair, chair, bear and she signs more, Daddy, cup, chair and sleep. Of course, cup and chair and Daddy are her versions of the signs. It's funny how they have their own language even with signing! She is much better at bye bye see ya later alligator. Even someone who doesn't know what she's trying to say would stand a good chance of figuring it out:)

She LOVES playing with her ball popper that scared her to death when she got it for Christmas. Now she can't get enough. She crawled into Skoshi's bed and sat there playing with that thing for 45 minutes!

Sylvan Beach

Gabrielle has turned into quite the horsewoman since Gramma Lee brought her the rocking horse. She's become so skilled at it, that she has figured out how to rock the giant Dinosaur at the park!

Dad played around with her a bit after she watched some boys tossing each other off the head of the T-Rex:)




She thought the slides were great fun, and has the innate sense that once you go down you have to climb back up the slide...not the ladder:)


We'll be home soon, but Brie has definitely enjoyed her adventures:)

Texas Babe

So, we made it safely through the 4th of July and to Texas for family visit. Brie had fun with fireworks and Danny had a ball making sure she didn't burn herself:)

Brie had her first plane ride and she did AMAZING! She fell asleep just before take off and never had any issues with her ears. She was a super sweet babe:)

Brie has met her Gramma Lee and today went to the cemetary to see Grampa Al.
She has the run of Gramma RuRu's place and is loving it.
