Bailey Family

I can't believe it will be July this week (and I can't believe that at the beginning of this month school was ending - that seems so long ago and at the same time, like we've barely had summer vacation.) My last post was June 18th, Thursday, so let's begin after that... I went grocery shopping on Friday. There are no pictures, well except one of all the training bras the girls could choose from (I left them with Seth during rest time to finish my shopping alone!) I think Carolyn would figuratively die if I posted the bra section picture from Walmart I emailed the girls to choose from! Saturday, we had a fun day at Memérè and grandpa's house - milkshakes, Disney world planning, crafts, and watching "inside out" at the theater (such a cute movie). …. And everybody was spoiled like the grandkids for the day! :)   Sunday we had a relaxing father's day with a chocolate cake better referred to as death by chocolate! ...

Well, I obviously didn't get my goal of posting every Tuesday (as it is now Thursday). I did have time (sort of). I just forgot that I started a new weekly task... Sooo...here's our week-and then some! Wednesday - Early park (8am) followed by summer $1 movie at the cinema (Annie at 10 am) followed by water....Oh, yeah, and Carolyn had a friend spend the night Tuesday night so I had 6 for the day Alee was exhausted and ran a little fever for the next 24 hours. (short bug? over exertion? who knows, but she was fine by the weekend) Thankfully, Carolyn was selfish with her friend, so there was little contact there. Thursday - we went to visit one of my husband's aunts that lives about an hour and a half away from us. My mother-in-law (Mémère to the kids...they pronounce it: "mem'-may"), my sister-in-law, and my niece were all part of our excursion. Well, technically, we were part of THEIR excursion. :) (Because Alee had a little fever, she was...

Ok, so there is fun during the school year too. :) Memere surprised the kids with wands, so the kids had to put on costumes to fully appreciate their new prizes. We celebrated the end of gymnastics this year with an expo to show off skills. Visits from family - the kids grow so fast when you don't see them for months between visits! Little E was so cute - her smiles were the melt-your-heart kind. T-man was so full of energy - he fit right in with Seth, Alee, and those girl cousins. :) (There are just too many names to remember! Even our friends that visited the weekend before - sorry, I have no pictures! - their little boy also put to memory only the oldest and youngest.)  Piano Recital! (I will - hopefully - upload the videos soon. The original recording, not high quality, but it is available now, can be watched at ustream.) Then things really heated up after memorial day - just in time for my week of outside adventures! TWO back-to-back field days ...
