Dave and I were able to take a little mini vacation to attend a wedding on Block Island. Block Island is located off the coast of Rhode Island. You have to get there by ferry. It is a very cool New England style island. A good friend of Dave’s from high school got married there. The guy’s name is Ben and his wife’s name is Ellen. Ellen is from Boston and her family vacationed on Block Island during her childhood so that is why they chose the island for their special day. We had a wonderful time! Everything was perfect and so well done. Read the rest of this entry »

Pools and Popsicles

So a few weeks ago ( i know i’m late in posting) our church Dawson Memorial Baptist had one of their summer preschool play days. They had all kinds of water toys, pools and slides to play on. Towards the end the kids got popsicles to eat!! It was a perfect day to play in the water because the temp was in the high 90’s. The event took place on the church’s front lawn which has some beautiful big trees that provided tons of shade. Read the rest of this entry »
Pool Day

Last week Lillian and I along with my friend Lauren and her little girl Brooklyn went to the pool. It was so much fun. The girls had a good time playing with their water toys and splashing around. Lauren and I had a great time sitting poolside chatting and soaking up some sun. The pools were only a foot deep so the girls could stand in the water just fine and play around easily without Lauren and I having to hold them up or stand by their side. Don’t worry we were close enough to the girls if anything bad were to of happened. Here are some pictures from our day.

First Reading, Now Writing

Lillian has taken an interest in words lately, especially reading and spelling them. Recently she’s also been trying to learn to write, starting with her own name. Britney has an iPhone app that Lillian loves; it shows a lettre or number and encourages her to trace it. She’s pretty much mastered tracing most of the letters, but the other day I got her to “take off the training wheels” and try writing on the magnadoodle.

Lillian in the Backyard

Jun
We recently had a fence installed in the backyard – the first home improvement project where we didn’t do all the work. Since then, Lillian has been getting tons of use out of the backyard, which was previously unusable for her due to the concrete culvert along the back of the yard. The first few times she went out there, she stopped, looked around, and just said “sooooo nice. sooooo nice.” She loves going out back, and since we no longer have to chase her the whole time we’ve been able to grill out more times in the last month than in the 3 years we’ve lived here.
