We here at GroundArt headquarters if you don't know already are due to receive new child very soon. It has been a great first two years with our little one Frances Dillon and we will cherish and miss the moments that have passed but look forward to growing through the new ones with both her and her little sister.
I could blab on and on about how magnificently smart and impressive our daughter is but I won't. Suffice to say that at 23 months she can recite her ABC's like she's been doing in for years now and she can tell you probably 25 words in Spanish including counting to 10...and most colors. It will take me years to stay one step ahead. Both grandparents from the Montana side have visited this late spring/summer and it was very pleasant. We are sorry we don't make it to Montana more often however tonight I did ask Frances during our night time ritual, "where do Grampa Craig and Grandma Patty live?" and she replied after some thought...Montana. I was considerably impressed given that we don't really emphasize it too much.
Most weeks are spent the same....working while Fran and Mom do fun things around town with other moms and friends. Afternoons we spend sunning in general and watering the plants...taking bike rides to the library or park...and recently swim lessons on the weekends. Katie has been doing some great knitting work she recently learned and as you shall see in the photos has made some great hats for the kids.....!! The time goes incredibly fast and both Katie and I are just blessed to be able to spend practically each moment growing and helping Frances learn and have fun. We know the road ahead will be challenging but equally rewarding. Thanks and God bless to all that care and follow. Peace.
Lee / Katie / and Frances.....soon to be big-sister
