If you know or have to know anything about living in Maryland, it's all about the crabs. Every restraurant here brags that they have the best crab cakes in Maryland and on every corner you can buy steamed crabs (along with corn) by the dozen. so when the only person in our family who was actually born and raised here has a birthday it has to be celebrated with crabs!

Then we moved to the basement for presents and cake
Charlie, Michele and Wyatt moved to Ohio more than a month ago. When Charlie realized he would be working long hours on her birthday he bought her a plane ticket to Maryland as her gift. Thank You Charlie it was the best gift you could have given US.
Ella put the keys on the floor in front of Wyatt so she could see his new trick, bear crawling.

HI!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies as well as Ella's!!! I am very impressed that a 5 year old would know all the words, the supercali song is a tough word for me to say let alone sing!!!!I think kids today are just so smart with just a little guidance and training, but when you do not interact with them they are lost on so much that could be so simple to explain, I am a talker, talk alot!!! So when Camydyn is around I explain to her everything I'm doing, like I'm getting the vacum cleaner out and so on, it is so amazing what a little sponge theya re, she wants to copy me when I dust fold clothes what ever, so I say interact and talk with them, let them watch movies, albeit good movies and age appropriate, my niece thinks it's ok, for her 3 year old to watch Grease and High School Musical, I told her 3 is to young for those movies, as what will she be watching at 7?????
Let them be little !!!!!
Hugs
and thanks for writing and all the nice comments, you are a jewel to your family as well!!!!
hugs,
