Famous "Veronica-isms"

Veronica started a new trend at church...wearing two different shoes usually on the wrong feet. Her buddy, Jayley, loves the style, and I even caught the nursery director, Nanny Dorcas, wearing a white shoe and a black shoe one Sunday in honor of Veronica. But like every trend, once people start copying you, you move on and start new trends. It's been two weeks since Veronica has worn two different shoes, so I'm glad I got these pictures when I did.

More of my favorite Veronica-isms include...

"Poot" (Winnie the Pooh)

VBS Program

Here Veronica sings her heart out at this year's VBS program. At one point in the preschooler portion, Veronica kept getting bumped by her classmates, and she kept shooting them evil looks. I think Veronica, like us all, was just tired and hungry after a long week. Luckily, we got to have lunch with all our new VBS friends and their families after the big show, and the sustenance (which for Veronica consisted mostly of chips and cookies) boosted her mood.

VBS 2007

Veronica's having a blast at this year's FUMC VBS. This is her second year to attend, and at only 3, she is an old pro. Here you see her getting down to the catchy tunes and dressing up for storytelling.

Chism Reunion

Tonight we went to Grecian Steak House for the Chism family reunion. We met lots of family we didn't know, and Veronica made some new friends. Don't let Ron's expression sum up our evening...we really did have a good time. Besides, you'd look like that, too, if you'd just ate 16 oz of steak plus the rest of Veronica's chicken strips.

"I like ekasize!"

Veronica took her very first gymnastics class Wednesday, June 6th. This picture was taken right before we left for class. (Mommies had to stay in the waiting room during class, so I couldn't take pictures.) She had a blast swinging from the bars, walking across the balance beam, and learning how to tumble, but her favorite activity was jumping on the trampoline. When it was time to go, she told me, "I like ekasize!"

Happy Birthday, Papaw!

Papaw turned 62 today, and we celebrated the big event with a shake party. Veronica got into the spirit of giving...and unwrapping. Papaw got lots of clothes and lots of hugs and kisses. In fact, he was having so much fun at his party that he chimed in with the rest of us as we sang, "Happy Birthday!"
