Labor Day Weekend

It is Labor Day weekend and it is hard to believe that summers over and fall is in the air. The leaves on the trees are changing color already in our backyard. Can you believe it?


What do Nordstrom, Champps, The Soup Man, MSU, Meijers, and The Red Robin have in common?
Balloons. We have a partially deflated balloons (on strings) from all of these places somewhere in our home that Marianna takes where ever she goes. It is hard to keep this kid away from a balloon she sees so our house has now become a graveyard for dying balloons. Here she is toting around the purple Champps balloon she got Friday night. She ate her entire dinner with the balloon in one hand and the same thing the next day with breakfast. It is a Buh, Buh. Very different than Ba for Ball.


Mama turned on the Ipod and that always gets a big smile!


Yia Yia bought Marianna the wicker chair and Marianna loves to sit in it with Mr. Bear. Often, she throws him out of it to make room for only her. Today, however, she appears to being a little more generous and is sharing her spot on the throne.
