The Watermelon Crawl

Well we have been trying to keep busy enjoying the summer weather here in between Mom and Heather's visits. My trips in the car sure aren't as easy because I no longer have Grandma in the back to help entertain!

Tuesday - Lorelei and I stuck around the apt complex but always have to get out of the house otherwise go crazy. We took a walk around the pond twice where we enjoyed watching the ducks. Then we sat under a tree a while until the "durkeys" (they are really huge ugly scary looking ducks that have red stuff on them like a turkey...there is also one I call the Darth Vader duck who's normally red ugly stuff is black! talk about scary... maybe I'll get a picture of him sometime)came after us and we made a dash to get away, although Lorelei was ready to go up and be their friend. Then that afternoon we took a dip in the pool.

Wednesday - Park day with MOMS Club. We had fun playing in the shade with our friends and chasing bubbles. Lorelei will like it much better when she can run with the rest of them. This time we just walked around with me hunched over holding her hands...great practice though!

Thursday - Our friends Sara and Lily came over for a visit! The girls enjoyed playing with each other for a bit and of course the toys are always more fun at some one else's house, or when another child is playing with yours. :) Then we all went to the pool and stayed for about an hour! It was so nice for both of us to have company and makes our day go so much faster.

Friday - The dreaded trip to Walmart. The store was not so bad but the drive home was horrible. I got to sing for at least a full 30 minutes trying to keep her entertained...SO ready to get a portable DVD player we can strap on the head rests and hoping that will make our trips much better. We went for another swim that afternoon. That's three days this week! A record for us.

Saturday - Love having Brad home with us! We took a trip out to Sandbridge beach hoping to avoid the tourists. It was a lot better but still pretty crowded. On the way home we stopped at a fresh produce stand and got some corn (missing it from Nebraska but this will have to do) and also a watermelon. Lorelei had a lot of fun with it when we got home and was rolling all over it. Must be her own version of "The Watermelon Crawl". For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, feel free to watch this skinny cowboy show you the real thing. ;)

Oh and we are enjoying so many things Lorelei is doing lately. Took a little video clip to show you a couple of them. We are pretty convinced she is now officially saying "hi" when she waves (some of the time) even though our friends have been telling us this for a month or more now. Enjoy!



Lows: Lorelei still not embracing the fact that we must ride in the car and sit in a car seat!; Finding out we are missing a DVD from our Friend's episodes so now we can't watch Ross say "PIVOT!"

Highs: Heather coming in a couple of days!; 4th of July a week away!; Lorelei taking a 2 hr nap in the afternoon TWICE this week!
