I apologize I've been so terrible - once again - posting to the board. I've tried to get better about facebook because I know a lot of followers are on there, but haven't taken into account that some may not have a facebook account. This month has been really busy, but I will do my best to recap.
Lily was away for most of the month of July. She spent the first weekend with Dave & Cindy camping and had a great time! Camila left for Brazil that following Tuesday. We miss her so much already! Then Lily left for two weeks to Carl's. She's back now and we are so excited for our upcoming trip to Holiday World! I will post later on that.
Ella had a 2 week dance camp and she absolutely loved it! She can't wait to start again! She's her normal bossy self, but she learns the moves and pays attention.
Before Lily left me for almost the entire month of July, I took her to see one of my favorite musicals of ALL time - Into the Woods. It was a fun time!
The day before the 4th of July, I rescued a 3 week old baby kitten that lost its mother shortly before. He was in the bushes in the back lot at my work. He staggered out into the wide lot and I didn't have the heart to leave it. So I took it home and we've been bottle feeding this little guy. He's finally eating semi-solid food and using the litter box. Now its time to decide if we keep him or find a home for him. We haven't named him, but the kids are attached.
A week and a half ago, Jim and Mark got into an accident that totaled Jim's truck. Thank god they are both doing fine! Mark was the only one to sustain any type of injury and he has fully recovered since. We are so grateful! The next week he asked me if we could go walk the pups at PAWS. I have taken Lily to this non-kill shelter to walk the dogs or give them a bath.
We are in the last week of July and tomorrow we are taking off for Santa Claus, Indiana for some Holiday World fun! I hope to post while i'm out and about, but you know how that goes with my empty promises haha I will try though!
I hope everyone has a fantastic week and Happy *almost* August!
It's Saturday and today Ella and I went over to our friend Sarah's house to paint birdhouses while Mark and Daddy went to get their hair cut. We had a lot of fun!
It's been really hot and dry, so our city along with many surrounding cities banned the use of fireworks. Because of this and the 4th happening mid week, we decided to stay home and have everyone over to cook out and swim. It was a fun day!
Here are some shots of the kids playing with their ELEVEN DOLLAR sparklers
Camila writes Ella's name....
A few with the flash on so you can see the kids faces
