Catching Up after Being an Expert Blogger Slacker

I don't really have any good excuses for being a blogger slacker except a few hundred lame excuses.  I got a new camera which I'm not forced to download because the chip will hold umpteen gajillion images.  I got a Mac recently which has given me a little bit of a learning curve on most things.  Roma has been keeping me busy due to no more napping.  I'm attempting to learn to cook mostly from Tosca Reno which is really a big time consumer.  This is my first attempt at blogging from a Mac.  I thought I could easily drag n drop into blogger, but it wasn't that easy to figure out.  Maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, I'm trying this post as an email to blogger.  I'm crossing my fingers.  The email didn't work.  I then uploaded the photos to Flickr and posted the URL's.  There's got to be an easier way.  There were way too many button clicks to get photos posted here.

These are photos of Roma making her own birthday card.  I fingered the                           letters on the page and she wrote them.

 Auntie NeeNee ( I can't figure out how to get an accent                                                      on the "e" to make it sound like NayNay) visits for Patriots Day                                     weekend.  Pictured here with Auntie LoLo.

 Roma loves her instructor.  He is the most patient man with 4 year old girls I've ever seen.

 Parent's day at gymnastics.  This is when they let us into the gym to see (and take pics) of what our little cherubs have been learning.  We can see some things from the waiting room most days, but there are rooms around the corner that were a mystery to me until this day.

More letter learning.  I wrote the "Dad, Casey, and Deenya" on the white board.  Roma wrote everything on the sticky notes.  She's already got her name and "mom" down pat.

Oh my God, FINALLY! I thought you had given up. It was a race to the bottom between you and Michelle. But you made up for it with all the photos. Love the gymnastics shots. It's so cute that is all the shots of Roma with food, the food is almost as big as she is. Too adorable. Thanks for posting.

sounds like it was difficult to get the pictures up, but it was well worth it! They are great shots! I love them. Looks like she is loving gymnastics.

Wow, great pics! Roma is doing well, loved the gymnastic shots. I wondered where you were. Sounds like a busy life. What kind of camera did you get? Sorry it was so hard to post pics, but they were worth it to see them. Roma's hair is getting long and she looks like she got a bit taller?

Enjoy your summer. Loved the pretty quilt too, that the blueberries were on.
