The McGinnis Family

We will be having a birthday party for CJ on the afternoon of Saturday, July 5th in Blue Springs. I hope to get invitations out this weekend, but wanted to give folks a head's up. I certainly hope we see your smiling faces for the event.

Its been nearly a month and we're still doing fine. CJ continues to grow like a weed and develop into a very sweet young man. He is very good at his please and thank yous and surprises us with a your welcome every once in awhile too. He loves to look at photo albums and to randomly name off all the people that he knows. Its quite funny. He can count along with Mama and Daddy up to ten now. Its hard to believe . He has an amazing sense of humor and loves to laugh with all of his little teeth flashing. He thinks he's about 20, and some days its hard to tell the difference between CJ and my college students. He's very studious and takes reading very seriously. Unless you are reading to him, he prefers to be left alone while he is enjoying his story. Curious George is still his best friend and Elmo is constantly on his mind. He loves his Sesame Street. His other favorite is Wheel of Fortune. As I sit here writing, he's proudly shouting out letters to help the contestant

Okay...so I let the blogging slip a bit. Its been a long month. CJ is growing like a weed and just chats away with you like he's been talking his whole life. His favorite expressions are "Oh, no..." "Go...go...go", and "More peas (please)". He was really excited when Grandpa and Nana (my parents) came in town. He ordered them around for a full week and showed off his playground skills. Now he runs to the door when he's bored going Bompa and Nana. I guess Case and I aren't nearly as exciting. Many of you may know my Grandma passed away two weeks ago. It was sad for all of us even though we know she was ready to go. I had a tough time with it and am just now getting back on track to finish up my semester. Casey and CJ are enjoying their time together at home. Although yesterday CJ decided not to take a nap all day and was crazy. Poor Daddy. The pic is an old one but captures CJ's spirit yesterday pretty good. No new news on the job front for
