Trip to the Vet and a little fun painting!

Annalyse's class took a field trip to see one of our local veterinarians today. She loved it, of course. I have to say that I enjoyed it myself. No surprise there. Annalyse has said for a long time now that she wants to be a dolphin trainer at Sea World when she grows up. After today she said she wants to be the veterinarian that takes care of the dolphins. It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case one day. I can't wait (well, yes I definitely can) to find out!

Here is Annalyse listening to the heartbeat of a dachshund.

The girls love to paint. It usually involves a big mess as you can see. They start off with paint brushes but about 2 minutes into it they have their hands covered and are laughing like crazy. They had lots of fun!

Charlotte loves watching the girls do anything. She is truly one of the happiest babies I've ever been around. She's precious and growing so fast. It makes me sad. She is now saying "da da da da". Of course she doesn't know what she's saying yet but she is saying it.

Pancake Saturday

I thought I would start a blog for our long distance family out there, so you could keep up with what's going on with the McGee girls. I have thought about this for a while now but didn't know if I would really have the time to do it. We'll see. Also, I am not the best speaker/writer in the world so please don't critique my bad grammar. :) I thought it would be nice as well for the girls to have something to look back on and help them remember the special times we all had together and how much they are loved by their parents.

So, on to the pancakes. EVERY Saturday we have pancakes for breakfast. Not just any pancakes, but daddy's pancakes. Multiple times throughout the week the girls will get excited and talk about the fact that Saturday is about to be here, daddy will be home, and we get to have pancakes.

Daddy doesn't just make pancakes, he creates them! The girls let him know what shape they would like their pancakes in. Of course, most of the time Annalyse wants a dolphin and Lucy either wants a "fishy" or a seahorse. This past Saturday they wanted sharks. Nathan does a great job coming up with all the animals. So here is a picture of Annalyse's shark.

Annalyse said, "Daddy, that just looks like a dolphin with his mouth open." "Well then that's what it is", Nathan said.

I forgot and cut Lucy's up before I got a chance to take a picture. But, as you can see she was thrilled with her pancake.

Here is my beautiful heart that he makes me each week (along with the sausage and eggs that we get as well).

The girls will say daddy makes mommy a heart pancake because he loves her. It makes me so happy that the girls know how much their daddy loves their mommy. I think that is so important and can only pray that they find a man who treats them the way Nathan treats me.

So we all enjoyed our pancakes and had yet another wonderful Saturday!
