Bet you laugh...

I hope these made you smile!

First Solo Flight

The girls and I went to Mandeville this weekend visit the Mills family. Big Sister Myrt was more than happy to introduce her little brother and share him with Wenn and Meg. The girls had a great time playing and Baker was so sweet. Meg kept pointing at him and saying "baby, baby" as you can see in the last photo. This was the first trip that I have gone on by myself with both girls and it was great, except for Meg almost jumping out of the crib at the boathouse and having to sleep in the bed with me and Wenn Friday night. We stayed in at the Dickerson's boathouse on Lake Caroline Friday night and then woke up Saturday morning and hit the road. After our visit to the Mills house I decided we would head back home but not without a quick stop in Vicksburg. I stopped at the park downtown and let the girls play in the water. They had so much fun and it was a great break from riding in the car. We made it home around 9:45 and everyone slept soundly in their own beds. Happy Sunday!

Summer Fun

I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July weekend. Wenn took swimming lessons this past week when it wasn't raining. She did great in lessons, no hesitation at all but was a little more cautious in the pool by herself. She even swam through a hula hoop under the water. Meg had a couple of firsts this weekend. She said her first sentence Friday night which was "No mama". I am sure it won't be the last time I hear that. She also ate a whole meal with a fork by herself. She did pretty good and actually got most of the food in her mouth. Meg is quite a character and keeps us laughing all the time, especially when she is trying to keep up with Wenn. They are complete opposites as far as their personalities but they play together so well. Wenn is quiet and shy and Meg is boisterous and never meets a stranger. They bring so much joy to our lives and there is never, ever a boring day!

Girls Trip

This past Friday Wenn and I took a girls trip with Kate, Elly, Lee Ellen and Mary Paxton. We stayed at the Dickerson's boathouse and had a great time. It was all about the girls and they loved it. We went to Build-a-Bear, got their fingernails done, did the bungee jump thing and did a little shopping. They even met a new friend at the "beauty spa" as Wenn called it. The next day we ate breakfast and went to the Natural Science Museum then headed home. It was a great get-away and it was so much fun having some one-on-one time with my big girl. She is growing up so fast, I just wish I could hit slow motion!

Dancing Girl

Wenn had her first dance recital last night and she did GREAT! I can not express how proud I was of her, it was overwhelming. Wenn is typically my shy child but she was so poised and brave on stage. She knew every step and every word of the song she was supposed to sing while she danced. She was wonderful and more importantly, she had a blast. I included a picture of Mrs. Peggy because she took Wenn to dancing most of the time and they both enjoyed their time together twice a week. These are just a few of the pictures from the festivities but as you can see, a good time was had by all. The last picture is my favorite one, that look of pure joy. They were lining up for the finale and so excited. It was a night I will never forget and one of many firsts for Wenn. It is just hard to believe that she is so grown up! Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a special event for Wenn!

Weekend fun

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Tennis anyone?
