Days go by...

It seems as though June has flown by...and we are gearing up for July. Volkslaufe is right around the corner (Saturday), Derek & Emily are home tomorrow, mini-vacations, and pool time. We have a lot happening here in July.

Hopefully, the nice weather will come back. We had beautiful weather all last week and now it is rainy, dreary, and a bit cool. The girls are not happy about not being in the pool!

The rain showers did give us a nice gift yesterday in a double rainbow! It was beautiful!



I promise to write more soon...we are busy cleaning and organizing (Spring cleaning a little late!)

Have a beautiful and blessed Independence Day! Please say a prayer for our country men and women serving home and overseas.

Time flies...

Cassidy dressed herself in just snowpants...fun, fun.

Things have pretty much gotten back to normal...well...as normally as a home with toddlers can be I guess. Cassidy has made major improvements during bedtime. It has been a little stressful, but she is doing very well going to sleep in her bed without Mama or Daddy sitting with her. She throws a little fit, but is usually sound asleep in 10 minutes. I HATE hearing her cry and call for Lucas or I, but we are determined to create a smoothier bedtime routine. Cailin does fine as long as she has her bottle, which is the next bedtime issue to tackle. I am not looking forward to that saga...one thing at a time...

Our backyard landscaping (or lack thereof) took a turn over the last few weeks. We have an above ground pool now. It is up and running but basically not accessible as there is no way to get in the pool right now. That is okay because the weather as really not be great. I am hoping that June 21 really marks the beginning of summer! The pool accessibility should be fixed this week with the extension of our existing deck by adding UT's former pool deck. Hopefully it is nice so we can get this stuff done...then it is time for some flower pots, painting a table, and putting in a very small raised bed garden. We would just like a couple tomato plants and perhaps some pepper plants. Nothing too fancy!

We have also been fortunate to have a few nice days to enjoy FHS Varsity Softball. Cameray is on the team so we enjoy watching the games. They won Districts and Regionals, so we are off to watch Quarterfinals in Flushing this afternoon. We are keeping our fingers crossed because they are playing Reese, and Reese is currently the top ranked team in Division 3 softball. I am sure it wil be a good game.

I am off to make some lunch, put some kids down for a nap, and then off to the softball game.

Have a beautiful day!

Home

Cailin and I are back from our Georgia adventures. We had a lovely time in Savannah.

Highlights:
- Seeing the family, especially Mom and Dad
- Eating at The Lady & Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant)
-Walking along the riverwalk (huge hills and steep stairs)
- the squares (every city should be set up like this!)
- Uncle Bob's retirement ceremony
- Karaoke
- touring the Juliette Gordon Low house (the founder of Girl Scouts)
- trolley tour

We had a good time. I wish Cassidy and Lucas could have joined us, but they had a great time camping with Grandmom and Grandad.

Of course, all the excitement caught up with Cassidy, Cailin and I...we all got sick Tuesday - Thursday. It was not fun. Pukey, puke...yuck!!!

We are all better now and looking forward to some nicer weather. Rain, Rain go away!
