ABC Game

Here's another board game we've been playing - and this one has been educational and fun.  Madison sees the pictures on the cards, and has to identify what latter that object begins with.  Some are a little more obvious, like "What letter does X-Ray start with?"  Duh?  But there are a few tricky ones in there, like "xylophone" and "earth."  Still, the repetition of this game will help her letter skills improve, and that's pretty exciting to Mommy and Daddy.  The three of us played this today and had a lot of fun!

So Daddy has been suffering lately.  He shouldn't have eaten Chinese food with Nana and Ba-Ba last night.  Doctors said to stay away from fried and fatty, and the translation for Chinese food here locally is "entirely fried and fatty."  Back to the old drawing board on healing.

Speaking of which, Daddy 

and Mommy went to a big church service in Griffin, Georgia tonight.  It was a pretty big drive, but it was very good to go.  We brought an old friend with us who we've known for nearly twenty years at the church - he's a guy who also has been going through some health issues, but things are much worse with him.    We had some comedic moments there, but I suppose I won't go into that - I'll just leave it at saying it was a very good thing we all went, something each of us needed to do, really.  Meanwhile, Madison spent the night with Nana and Ba-Ba, who went to the pet store for a bit.  Madison saw all kinds of animals and had a good time there - and then came back home to have some more play time.  She went to bed a little early though:  she was coughing and perhaps allergic to something.  Could it have been something in the pet store?  We'll have to keep an eye on her there for sure.
