We survived another round of sweltering heat these past few weeks...this summer has taken over the record books with it's 100+ degree weather - we're already looking forward to fall and counting down the days!
Since I haven't posted in a while, I don't want to write everything we've been doing the last few weeks...so I'll sum it up with a quick recap and some pictures -
- visit up to Stafford for Amanda Gayler's babyshower - AWESOME to see everyone there - and stayed at my Dad's house - Madelyn loved her Tinker Bell bed her Grandpa made for her and Uncle Sean got her to sleep with his best-ever back tickling -
- a visit from (Auntie) Amanda - the girls were so surprised to see her and loved every minute - playing dress up, cashier, coloring Woody & Buzz -
- a day at Mimi and Grandpa's house - swimming and splashing with Auntie Amanda & Auntie Haylie - laughing with the crazy Carl, watching Nemo, the girls love their Mimi & Grandpa -
- visit from Kelli & Brylee who were here from New York - sooo good to catch up with my sweet friend, who've I've known for...gosh...18 years!!??? Madelyn & Brylee loved playing dress up -
- play day with Meghan, Amelia & Henry - really need to spend more time with them, Amelia & Madelyn are about the same age, and Henry & Emily are almost the same aga also -
- a weekend with nowhere to be and it was just the four of us - aaahhhh, refreshing!! :)
- quiet night Ben & I spent on the deck talking ALL night, before we knew it we went through an entire bottle of rum!! HAHA The next day morning wasn't as fun though - a quarter pounder took care of that!
- a trip up to Stafford for lunch with my Dad for his birthday and to welcome my Mom home from her trip out west - quick trip up but the girls loved playing with Spooky and their kitchen at Nana's house -
- stomach bug hits us...Madelyn has it full swing - tried to venture out for some fun with friends at the duck race on Browns Island, she just wasn't herself...hoping it's over soon and she's back to eating soon -
This week coming up we'll try to make up a few dates we missed last week since Madelyn was sick - we owe a visit to Amber's house to meet her new baby girl, Avabel - a play date with the Harry crew - a few others we've been trying to set up too - all this before we head down to Liz & Mary's house at Lake Gastan Thursday evening -- whew :) It's like we're busy, but not really busy - busy just 'playing' I guess!
I'll post pictures soon...
