I was on-call the weekend of and on July 4th. Aunt Renae kept Dottie that Saturday night while we got to have some one-on-one time with Melonee. Lovey, Papa, and Kayla came up for a little while to shop and eat. We went to Wasabi to eat supper. Melonee did not know what to think about the hibachi grill. However, we all enjoyed our dinner.
Sunday, I went in to work....Ryan and Melonee went to church at North Blvd. I got off work earlier than usual so I came home and peeled some fresh peaches!!! Melonee was completely asleep by the time they got home. When Melonee woke up we headed to Anita's and ate lunch with Daddy's family. Dottie was so happy to see us. Renae took her to church at Tusclum with Pop's and Anita. So we had a wonderful lunch. We pretty much lounged the rest of the day!
Monday July 4th. I again go into work! However, it turns out to be a pretty quiet day. I am done by lunch and we get to head to Decherd to celebrate with Lovey, Pops, Kayla, Alice, Kay, Grannie, Candace and Bobby. We always have a blast! Food was great...company was wonderful....fireworks were a blast!!! Melonee was a little leery of the fireworks so we had to really ooh and aah after each one. Dottie fell asleep right before the action started. Well, I had to work on the 5th so we left the girls with Lovey. Alice and Kay helped keep the girls on Tuesday.
The girls did great at Lovey's on Tuesday. We met Lovey and Pops in Manchester that evening...while we were there we decided to stop by and see Tata and Cousin Cindy. Tata really enjoys seeing the children. She gets so excited when we come to see her. Melonee jumped right in and made herself at home. She played with Tata. Dottie was happy to sit in her lap and enjoy being with Tata. We had just learned that Cindy has thyroid cancer. However, she looked great and has a very positive attitude. That is what counts.
On Wednesday, I tried to take the girls to see a puppet show at the Library. Well, that worked for about 10 min. We got there late so parking was awful...in fact I had to make my own spot. Then we had to make a spot to sit down. Just when I think that we are going to do good, the puppet master gets an alligator out and it eats the dentist...Melonee cried and got so upset so we had to leave...Dottie and the other children thought this was very funny by the way. So I took Mel and Dot outside and we walked around outside for a while. We made it back to the car just in time! The rain came!
Melonee has learned to push the stepping stool around and get up to the counter. She is helping me cook here. She likes to get in the corner where the mixer is and play with Dottie's bottles and her cups.
I think that she is telling me how to do something. She is very serious when she gets to talking and pointing.
Dottie had just woke up from a nap and was super cute so I had to get some pictures of her!!
Thursday I tried to get ready for Bible study and for our trip to Chick-fil-a (cow appreciation day...dress like a cow and get a free meal!). So I got our cow outfits ready...nothing spectacular but a fun outing nonetheless.
Melonee enjoying her french fries at Chick-fil-a. What a sport!
Dottie is a trooper for sure. She could not eat but that did not stop her from having fun!
Speaking of troopers here is the super trooper here. Daddy was also having a blast. Look at those spots!
Look it is a tail!
We had a wonderful week!!!!
