The McGinnis Family

Well, the Philly McGinnis family is moving back to Newark, DE. The price of gas coupled with a very active two-year-old has convinced us city lovers to move back to the suburbs (at least for awhile). We are very excited as a house has opened up at the University so we'll basically be living on campus. I'll be able to walk to work and go home for lunch. There will still be a park down the street and CJ will have a huge backyard to play in. It will be nice not to be commuting for two hours a day while I'm trying to finish up law school. Casey is going to be able to start back to school in the Fall as well so we're very excited about that. Overall, it is going to be a great move for us even though we'll miss the city streets. As you can see, the house is sweet and we'll have more space since it has a huge basement. I can't imagine getting more lucky right now.

So the picture was stolen off of Mike and Sarah's website because I'm at work and haven't unloaded the camera of pictures at home yet. The blog is very behind because Mama is behind. Between the trip, work, and finishing up my summer class I've been swamped. As I approach my final semester, the posts are likely to be sporadic unless Case can pick it up. The trip was fabulous. Thank you to everyone. Thank you notes are on the way (Sorry for being rude and waiting so long). We have a great time and CJ really enjoyed his birthday. It was fun to have such a big party and see everyone. CJ likes to go through and name everyone he can think of as if he's running through a grocery list. Things have been crazy here not that its not always crazy. Uncle Eric is here for a visit and for work so we're heading to DC and Annapolis this weekend. We'll get some great pics and update on Monday. CJ is just being CJ. Like his cousin Abby, he loves the park and wants to be outsi...

We are getting ready to head back to Kansas City for the weekend. It should be a nice time. CJ is getting excited that his birthday is coming up. He keeps pointing out birthday cakes in his books and blowing out the candles. He has also memorized all the people in the photo album and points them out by name. (We'll see if he'll actually say the names when we get there though.) He is still shy about talking when others are around. This week he's taken to teaching Curious George his ABCs, which he sings over and over again- the tune and some of the letters are right. LMNOP is always in the right place. He's still the sweetest most sensitive soul and he really knows how to make people feel better already.
