I can not believe we are more then 1/2 way through June.  It seems like just yesterday that Daddy & I were getting ready to take a short Vacation.  We left Thursday late afternoon for IN and got back into town on June 4th.  Many Thanks to Grandma Barb for taking care of Angela, the dogs and the house while we were away.  It was a great get away for us.

The potty training is going slowly.  If anyone has a suggestion, please let us know.  We have to have her trained by August, when school starts and we are not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel yet.  I get her up in the am and take her straight to the potty and she usually goes number 1.  Any other time we try, she throws a fit and will not go or sit.

We had a busy weekend over Father's day.  We did some "spring cleaning" around the house, so with the other every weekend chores, it was very busy. I was not sure if I was going to like the "New Look", but I think it is a good move and I am really liking it.  I think it gives Angela and the dogs more space.  Angela got daddy and papa a special card just from her.  She thinks they are just the best.  A little hard this year without Grandpa Bowman, but we thought about him and missed him very much.

Angela is taking in complete sentenes and uses "Please" very well.  She loves to say "bless you" when someone sneezes and "your wlcome".  She is a very polite little girl.  We are so proud of how she has grown so fast.  She does have a temper (which she gets from both of us) and she is really pushing the "spoiled" card.  She will do what she wants even if you tell her "No".  She will try to sneek and do it after we tell her no.  Yesterday when we went to pick her up she said she wanted to drawl and I told her no because we were heading home soon.  She picked up the package with the markers in it a pulled one out and stared at me the whole time.  I just could not get up and take them away from her because the look on her face was just to good.  I know, we spoil her and it is my own fault.

We are working our way into letting the dogs run the house.  The forst few days, they seemed to do well, but Friday and Monday Buddy had an accident.  I have changed the position of the food I have moved into the room to see if that will help today.  I also asked Grandma Barb to check on them this afternoon.  We may just have to do that for a while as while.]

Grandma Pam, Aunt Becky, Jacey & Justin left last Wednesday and headed to the beach for their vacation.  From what I have been told, sounds likr they are having a great time.  This is the vacation they take every year.  Not sure if and when Angela will be going along.  Time will tell.

WEll, I have been adding to this all morning, inbetween phone calls, so I guess I had better get back to work.
