Return from Texas

I'm not sure where to start so this may be a post with multiple parts. I'll start with last Friday. Matt and I arrived in Texas around 1pm (during nap time) so we had some time to rest up before Maddy woke up. Once she did, there were plenty of hugs and kisses to go around. She was happy to see us but it wasn't overwhelming excitement. Within an hour though, she was attached to my leg. Thus began the game of trying to get her to detach from my leg. That's a blog post in itself so I will save that for later.

We had a great weekend watching Maddy play in the pool and teach us all the new things she learned. A few of my favorites: 1. My two year old now gives "bumps." For those not current with the lingo, this is a fist bump. I can't help but laugh every time she does it because I picture her as an NBA player before a game or a 15 year old boy in the hall at school. Just doesn't fit but it sure is cute. The best part is that by the time I picked her up from school Wednesday, all the other two year olds in her class were now experts at the "bump." 2. A new phrase - "Lookey there or Lookey here." So this is now what she says every time she wants to show you something. 3. Tri-lingual - she left speaking English (a little Southern, I admit) and now she will tell you she knows 3 languages - Spanish, Texan and North Carolinian. She had some homework for school while she was gone and had a few Spanish words to practice so now she thinks she fluent.

I've been trying to type this for 3 days now so I'll stop here and tell you more the next time. Maddy had a GREAT time in Texas but we are glad to have her back :)
