Granny Annie's vist - part 2

Here are more photos from Granny Annie's visit. While we didn't leave Support Site for two weeks - which was fine with Grandma as this was her 4th visit to Naples in the 1.5 years we've been here where she'd seen what she wanted too - we did have a lot of fun.

Grandma really enjoyed spending time with Morgan who has developed quite a sense of humor. In one of her current favorite books, "Sand Castle Contest" Matthew's family is checking to make sure they have everything they need for their family vacation, and Matthew says, "No - we don't have a dog!" Mo's favorite line, which she now quotes is - "Matthew, we don't even own a dog!!" It's cute.

Bella is a really mellow, happy baby and looks a lot like me. Morgan is absolutely gorgeous as you can see, and really looks like Jeff - she's got fair skin, freckles and Jeff's grandpa's curls. Super cute!!

One fun thing I'm doing during my maternity leave, inspired by my Mom is to took a parenting class. When Morgan was born, my Mom being into children psychology bought me a couple books on "Love and Logic" which offers solutions to getting mad and angry by giving choices to aide in raising responsible, happy kids. Of course, being a new Mom I hadn't had time to open them, but amazingly through Family Fleet on base they offer a 7-week free course on this that happened to coincide perfectly with my leave. It's 2 hours every Monday and it's led by a clinical psychologist, and there is a workbook, videos, and we learn lots from the other parents. While not everything is applicable to us now nor do we agree with it all, it's great for finding our own parenting style. I highly recommend the books and teaching principles!
