Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
The court jester was entertaining Becca a few weeks ago at G'ma and G'pa's house. Becca can't wait to meet the little guy inside!

2 Months Old!
Hello adoring fans!
Just a quick note to get up the 2 month pics. A little late, I know, since Becca is now 3 months old.
But anyway ...
Here's Becca with her good friend "Mrs.Bug" Actually, this little bug spent a few days being "Mr. Bug" until Bill noticed the pretty pink bow on her head. Gender assignment can be so confusing!
(She'll hate me for these flower-head pics later!)
And finally ...
Do you see what Bill has been teaching her throughout the day while I'm at work ?!?
Look out XBOX - here she comes!

Happy Spring June!
Let me tell you a story ...
We moved to Callen Ave when I was 2 years old. Our next door neighbor is June Zanotti, who celebrated her 90th birthday last year and is still a pistol! (Just ask Bill - she can't keep her hands off him!!) June grew up with my Grandmother and June's children grew up with my father in First Ward. Daffodils grow on the hillside and yards around our houses and bloom every spring between March and April. At about 3 years old, I picked some flowers and took them next door to June who displayed them in a small vase on her kitchen windowsill. The following year, I again picked some flowers and took them to June in the early spring. She again put them in a small vase on her kitchen windowsill. This ritual continued ... year after year ... spring after spring. Handfuls of flowers. As many as I could hold. Bugs and all.
I have missed the flowers only once in the last 32 years ...
And this year Becca brought flowers to June for the very first time!
Happy Spring "Great Grandma June"
We love you!

Meeting the kin folk
In March we hit the road so Becca could meet the cousins!
It was a long drive to Morgantown, but Becca made it like a champ! We stayed over at Grandma and Grampa's for a day before heading out to MawMaw and PawPaw's place. Becca played with Rachael and Grampa. Braedyn was only interested in tickling Becca before running away!
When we got to Ridgeley, Hannah and Lily were so excited to meet Becca. Hannah showed her a toy and Lily wanted to brush her hair - but she needs to grow some more first! The Tucker girls did a great job holding and playing with Becca. I can see a lot of fun in the future for Becca with cousins Lily and Hannah!
MawMaw and PawPaw really helped out by feeding and holding Becca so Mommy and Daddy could get some much-needed rest! MawMaw was already teaching Becca to talk. PawPaw found a new buddy to watch the basketball game with on the new TV.
While we were there, we celebrated Bill's birthday. I think when he blew out the candles in his pudding he probably wished for more sleep!!!
