Fun in the Summer

 FLOWERS




All From Mom's Gardens :)


There are a ton of beautiful flowers growing in Mom's garden these days. She works pretty hard out there so that the yard will look nice. I just cut the grass she pretty much is the green thumb in the family!

Dad had a regular week for him which is good. He still is having neck pain but it is better since the acupuncture has started. It's mostly after he wakes up in the morning and when he naps during the day. I need to come up with a donut shaped pillow that won't allow his neck to drop to the side. There has to be a way to keep his head up. He also needs to build back up some of his muscle tone that he has lost since this all began. 


Today is Adele's real birthday so there was a little party in honor of her REAL birthday today :)


This was Adele when she was a year old. Today she turned 5!

 Time sure goes by fast! It seems like last summer she was born and now she is 5. Where did those 5 years go?


 We had our annual retreat for work this past Thursday. It was at Wachusett Mountain. We got to go on a short hike and saw all kinds of cool things. Then we played family feud. My team won!!! I am still waiting for my prize though...hmmm.

This was one of the teams we beat. It was a fun way to end our meeting. We were suppose to go on the skyride but due to the awesome weather we have been having visibility was poor so we canceled the ride :( Maybe next year.



The kids have been coming over a lot which is so fun :) They keep us all smiling. Kylie is Julie's best friend! She loves her!  Kylie also likes to help Dad with his glasses when he reads. She knows now that he has to take them off to read the three little pigs. Often she just reaches out and puts them on his forehead! On this particular day I think we each read the little pigs twice for a total of six reads. That's a lot of pigs!
Miss Julie is getting bigger and stronger by the day. She is rolling all over and pretty soon will probably be crawling. Then we are in trouble!

Lilly has freed the cheetah who is really a leopard from the time out he was in due to the Bruins loss. She was back in her spot with him watching Annie...again. It never gets old and the music is very catchy. I remember watching it over and over as a kid too.


Kylie and her baby watched Annie from the other end of the couch while Papa took a rest in his chair. Kylie's rest in this picture lasted about 2 minutes and she was all rested up! She calls Miss Hannigan in the movie "Nanigan" so we go with it.

Well that's really all the news we have this week. Thanks everyone for still checking up on us and keeping in touch we really appreciate it.

Until next week,

Laurie
