Blog, What Blog?

I know, you are probably thinking I had abandoned the whole blog thing but worry not...I had an extended blog vacation but am back to it. I hope everyone is doing well. We have been doing well here in the McMinn household. As many of you know, Kyle had a bit of an ordeal a few weeks ago...he is on the mend from his major concussion and seems to be his regular old self. Thank goodness...

Wayne is working on the bathroom in the trailer and it's giving him quite a hard time...he is frustrated but in the end it'll be worth it. Camping with four girls with no bathroom would be a bit much wouldn't you think?

We took the boat out last weekend and had a great time. We bought Lauren her new life jacket, gave Taylor Lauren's jacket from last year and we were good to go. Jessi had gone to a slumber party the night before so she had a post slumber party hangover...Lauren had a great time driving the boat with dad and eating the cookies we brought. Yummy. Kyle's GF Katy came with us as well and probably liked being out of the wintery Flagstaff snowy weather.

Taylor is officailly mobile. She is crawling and rolling around these days. She even just had her third tooth push through on Friday. I can't believe that she is 9 mos. already...I know everyone says it but they do grow up so fast. She is enjoying the variety of "real" foods in her diet, especially blueberries and veggie puffs. She just can't get enough.

Lauren is becoming little miss independent. She wants to do everything herself and when she can't, she gets extremely frustrated. It's really cute though to watch her play with Taylor and try to get Taylor to go where ever she goes by saying "C'mon, Tay, Tay."

We also had to bid farewell to Banshee, the little Boston Terrier, she died last week after 16 1/2 years. We'll miss her when we go to Grandma and Papa's house.

We would like to send big congratulations to Aimee (Doyle) Stock and her husband Walter...they are expecting their first baby in early September.

I promise to be a little better about this blogging business...really, I will. For those of you in Arizona, enjoy the beautiful weather...to those of you back east, I hope you come visit Arizona during the spring sometime. It's absolutely perfect.
