Rylee Aspen

This past Sunday we went and visited the Bright family and their new addition to the world, Rylee Aspen. She was sweet as can be! Made Chris and I both miss the infant stage...until she was hungry, LOL. But in all seriousness, I miss holding a little one, so I am thankful all my friends are having babies! July can't come soon enough!

Tis' the summer of socialization! We have made it a point to get Cara and Sam more involved in social activities, because I do stay at home with them and they can tend to get a little deprived of child stimulation. Sure they have each other, but it's nice for them to get to know other kids, other personalities. And they really only have adult friends, so I've started weekly meet ups, and Cara started a gymnastics class today. She was so cute! Very well behaved, a little shy even (I know, I couldn't believe it myself). She held her own in the level II course, and hopefully will get to move on with the group, cause her new best friend Emmy is in it. I attached a couple of pics from today, very blurry cause we sat up in a booth to watch them, but you can see my cute little gymnast. And little sister Sam was her number one fan! She sat at the glass clapping for her big sister.

Enjoy!

heat waves and play dates

Whoops, looks like I have neglected my blog in the last month! Currently, the girls are resting and I am hiding from the 90+ weather, inside my house in the AC. It's the second week of May and reaching mid-high 90's. I am not too sure I like this! The pool needs to open pronto!

CONGRATS to the Brights! They welcomed baby Rylee Aspen into the world yesterday, May 11th and she is such a beauty. Can't wait to meet her!

Bad news as hit GA this past month. We will lose the Sherbert's to Colorado by the end of summer. It hasn't really hit me yet, I think I'm still in denial, but I know the day they are gone, an emptiness will be there. We are going to miss them SO much and I haven't even begun to explain to Cara that Cali will be 1700 miles away. Not sure I'm ready to break her heart yet :( We'll make it work though, so that we can still "see" them every week.

So last I updated we had gone to Nashville. Since then it's been pretty low key. Both girls have reached a 1/2 on their age. I remember being a kid and that was a huge deal..I wasn't 4, I was 4 and a HALF. Not sure what the rush was, lol.

Cara has made a new friend who we've been going on play dates with. Her name is Emmy and she is also 3.5. The library has a great story time class for the girls that's FREE (which is probably MY favorite part). They read books, sing songs and play games. Pretty awesome because it's right before lunch and nap and the girls get out a bunch of energy. Here's a few pics...




Chris was home for a WHOLE week last week and off Wed-Fri, so we had some fun, quality time with Dad. It was Mother's Day last weekend and the girls and Chris were so good to me. Let me get my nails done and bought AND planted some beautiful hydrangea plants for me. I don't think I changed one diaper that day either, so it was a nice treat. We also went to an Ultimate Playdate in the Park last week and had a lot of fun. There was a stage and a big open field for the girls to run around on. A guy played music and they had some songs for the girls to participate in. We also took a nature walk and ate some honey suckles. Not sure that's even safe, but everyone survived, lol. Here's a pic of Chris chasing Sam...



Today we had another play date at Champion Kids, which is a gymnastics facility, and they have an open play time where the kids get to run around. It was a blast! Huge open rooms with bouncys, trampolines, foam pits, etc. The girls loved it! I signed Cara up for a gymnastics class throughout the rest of the summer for Tuesday's and they are going to work on tumbling and balance, BUT ALSO using manners and taking your turn. So I think Cara will benefit greatly, lol. Here are some pics from today...





Sam is growing like a weed and has hit the "baby" phase. She walks around with a baby tucked in her armpit and also points out Tina's baby bump when we're together. She's gonna be such a great best friend/possible girl friend to Tina's baby. I can't wait to let them all meet! Tina is due July 19th and we couldn't be more thrilled. Here is the latest pic of her bump with an already huge fan of the impending arrival...



Summer is almost officially here! Pool will open soon. Cara goes to Virginia Beach in June and has a dance class. We are going to Tellus Science Museum this weekend and possibly becoming members through the summer. We want to check out the dolphins at the aquarium and go to the zoo. And baby Klejka arrives in July! Bring it on summer!
