Clowning Around with Cousins

Morgan got the opportunity to spend some time with her second cousins Kendall, DJ, and Callen last weekend. They had driven in all the way from New York to spend some time with Aunt Linda (their nannie). Morgan was invited down to spend the morning and enjoy a private show with Fuzzy the Clown!



They enjoyed a great story about the Clown-Around family...

Had their arms painted...

DJ got Thomas the Train

Morgan got a glittery butterfly

Kendall got Tinker Bell

And they all got balloon animals!

The kids had such a wonderful time enjoying Fuzzy and each other. We only get to see them once a year, and Morgan was sad to leave. She is looking forward to next year already!

Morgan's God-brother

Morgan is excited to announce that her Godmother, Melanie, and her husband Patrick welcomed their first child, son Ethan, today around 4:29 PM weighing 7 lb and 14 oz (2 ounces more than Morgan herself). Mama, Daddy, and baby Ethan are all doing wonderfully!

Morgan is super excited to meet her God-brother and we will be traveling to Charlotte in a few weeks to meet this little guy. Until then, we send lots of hugs and kisses to Ethan and his parents.

4 Year Check-Up

Just a quick update to let you know our spunky gal is growing like a weed! We had her 4 year check up earlier this week. Morgan weighed 39 lbs (75 percentile) and was 40.5 inches tall (also 75 percentile). Dr. Troischt is very happy with her development to date, and although she wouldn't talk to him at all she did talk to the three nursing students that were in the room with us. We've manage to continue our trend of only seeing Dr. Troischt once a year, and hopefully this year will be no different. Mom and I decided that Morgan is all legs because even though she is only in the 75th percentile for height, every 4T dress is very short on her. Another good report from the doctor!

Fun at the Park

Happy 4th of July! We are spending Independence Day this year with Uncle Jeff and Aunt Cecelia in sunny Maryland. It's been a quiet and hot weekend. We did brave the heat yesterday to head out to Morgan's favorite Adventure Park near Uncle Jeff's house.

We visited the King Dairy Barn MOOseum, where Morgan got the chance to milk a (fake) cow. She did quite well! She also got to play in the milk barn a bit. We headed over to the park where she ran her Papa and Mutti ragged.

She learned how to climb the ropes to get into the structure this year, a feat once conquered was repeated over and over. She got very quick at it.

We didn't get to stay long because it was so hot, but Morgan had a wonderful time and is asking to go back soon. We hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July!
