There's been a lot of changes around here! Both my parents and my BIL Josh and SIL Renae and their three kids Caleb, Chloe, and Keira have moved away this summer. The Lunns went to Monument, Colorado (slightly North of Colorado Springs), and my parents went back to their "hometown" Albuquerque, New Mexico. I know we'll see them again for many vacations and I'm hoping to get my Skype up and talk to them that way, but I still miss them. We saw each other at least every other week since from when the girls were born.
We have new neighbors that moved in next to us. One of them is a 4 year old boy named Austin. Bella, Victoria, and Austin have been playing together about every other day. Yesterday Austin told Bella that he was going to marry her, but first he had to ask if it was okay with his other girlfriend. I love listening to them.
We went to a neighborhood block party on National Night Out. It was 110 degrees outside! They set up a kiddie pool for the kids- they added some bags of ice to the water. I was so hot beads of sweat kept running down my back and I had a constant headache. I actually stuck my feet in the kiddie pool at one time to cool down. It was insane! But well worth it- we got to meet some cool, new neighbors and visit with the old ones, while complaining about the heat. This has been one of the hottest summers in Dallas history. We almost tied with the most consecutive days of over 100 degree heat-(45, I believe), came shy of the record by 2 days- when we finally got a much needed rain storm; then the next day it was up in the 100s again.
I went to Austin with Chris for a much needed girl's weekend. We ate all the wrong foods (Home Slice pizza rocks!!!), drank a couple of drinks, listened to an amazing 80s cover band, pampered ourselves at a spa- I got a message and pedicure, visited with friends, did some shopping, and slept like babies without a care in the world- thank goodness for high quality pillows and blackout curtains.
I can't believe summer is almost over- it has flown by fast. The last week of summer, I tried to squeeze in as many playdates, and fun things to do as possible. We went to the Frisco Athletic Center for a last bit of swimming- just the girls and I. They played together wonderfully and our favorite thing to do was go on the Lazy River- Victoria in an inner-tube sunning herself and Bella with a life vest constantly paddling to the wall and then back to me.
I celebrated my 38th birthday by going out to Pappaduex for the best Lobster Bisque ever! Earlier that day, the girls brought me breakfast in bed that they had helped make- Bella made the bowl of Cheeries, and Victoria made the strawberry toast, Daddy made the eggs and coffee. They did a great job! In the afternoon, we went to Applebees for lunch- definitely recommend their soup and salad combo. And of coarse, the $2 brownie, ice cream, fudge dessert- yum! I had a great birthday! Thanks!
aaaaaaahhhhhh..... Even with the changes, life is good.
