Playing Catch Up....AGAIN!!
WOW! I know... I suck at this blogging thing! I mean since Facebook, I have forgotten about all my other projects.
Lord, where do I start!? Well, Millerhood is still thriving and all is well. Madison will be 6 in February and Therren will be 2 late December. Hubs is providing our every need and me, well, uh.... I am one happy Mother and Wife! :)
Madison started Kindergarten this year and I graduated from the University of Phoenix with my MBA. Therren's vocabulary is overwhelming as he surprises us daily.
I guess I better post a few photos to bring me up to date. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so... here are a trillion words.

Family trip to DC (last week in Aug)
Kendrick had to do some training in the DC area for a week and Madi and I got to tag along. It was a nice family getaway and the weather was nice, mostly in the mid-80's.
We drove him to training every morning, ate breakfast with him, and returned to eat lunch. While he was in class, Madi and I explored the area and visited 2 malls. One had a nice play area for her to hang out with children her age. We went to the movies Tuesday night and to our surprise the tickets were $10 each, even for Madi, who is 3 years old. The popcorn and drink was an additional $15. We spent almost $50 on that outing and it did not include dinner. Thank God we were just visiting!
Wednesday evening, we went to Georgetown to get us some DC Cupcakes! The line was out the door and around the corner by the time we received our cupcakes. We purchased half a dozen which consisted of Lemon Berry, Carrot Cake, Red Velvet, Hazelnut Chocolate, and a Chocolate & Vanilla Cupcake. The icing was amazingly light and smooth. I am not a huge fan of icing. I usually desire just a thin layer on my cake/cupcake but these Sisters know what they are doing when it comes to icing. The icing MADE the cupcake....YUMMY!!!
Thursday night we went to a restaurant named, Chima. It's a Brazilian Steakhouse that serves up all kinds of meats on swords. The waiters all had on Brazilian attire and they were moving super fast with those meats, offering parmesan crusted pork loin, filet mignon, swordfish, and bacon-wrapped chicken to name a few. The experience was unforgettable! You definitely need to have an appetite for protein when you dine at Chima.
Friday, we caught the Metro to the Smithsonian area. We or should I say "I" had no idea how much walking we were about to do. The sun was beaming and everything was so far away...plenty in between but still a walk to the places that we really wanted to see. We took photos along the way and as we stopped in front of the Capital, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument. The view was simply breath-taking. You cannot see and do everything in one day. There were several parts of the Smithsonian that we did not get to visit. Hopefully, we will get to return to DC in the near future to complete our exploration.

Just enjoying you!
At 19 weeks, "Buddy" has started moving a lot and it is so comforting. He is always on my mind. I mean, how can I forget about him as he tumbles inside my belly.
I went up into our attic today to get some of Madi's baby items down for "Buddy". Gosh, we have quite a few things like her old swing, bouncer, bassinet, and infant car seat. As I touched each item they brought back sweet memories of my baby girl. My heart smiled as it shared the warmth of our attic. The moment was short lived because I quickly had to get to the AC. Whew! It is hot enough to cook a full course meal in our attic. Kendrick came to the rescue and pulled everything down for me. I literally cannot wait to go through each of Madi's baby items to prepare them for Therren. I am feeling a kid in a candy store and I just had to share!

Retail Therapy while waiting for Baby
Okay, since finding out that we are expecting a Boy, I have had a major itch to buy something gender related! So tonight we stopped at Kohl's just to check out their baby stuff. The outfits were super cute or should I say "handsome." ( I gotta remind myself of the proper terminology when referring to the male gender....he-he.)
We found a few items on the clearance rack that were must haves! The price was just right so I could not leave the store without my Baby Boy's summer clothes. Kendrick picked out 1 outfit and I chose 2 more. We ended up spending less than $10 for all three outfits. How sweet is that!?
I think I have started something....I will be shopping clearance for the next couple of months. Babies can never have enough, right?
