Lillian's 1 year pics

Playdates, births, and birthday parties!

As you can tell by the title of this blog, it has been a busy month. I know I say that everytime I blog, but it seems like life is so crazy.

Work is absolutely insane. Summer is suppose to be the slow period for us. However, that is just not the case. We are getting slammed!!! There are a lot of sick people out there!!! There were a couple of days where I just wanted to cry at work. It has been a very stressful month.

My friend Amy and I met up in Evansville. We thought it would be a good idea to get the kids together for a playdate. We went and ate at Panera. We did some shopping at Babies R Us and Toys R Us and then to Wesselman Park. We had a great time. I especially love getting Lily together with other kids. I want her to learn socialization skills since she doesn't go to daycare. Loxton and Lily had a great time. She slept so good on the way home!!

Our good friends (and John's cousin) Dale and Mary Beth had their baby boy, Wesley Dale Potts, on June 6. They didn't find out what they were having. So, it was a big surprise to find out it was a boy! However, everyone thought it was a boy! Congratulations to them!! Can't wait to meet him!

John and I went to look at a house in Haysville. After looking at this house and others, we are totally against buying another house. We will either add on or build. Haven't really decided on which yet. Everything just costs so much and we want to be completely sure. So, no hurry. We will still think about it.

My nephew Dillon will be the big 4 on June 27th. However, we had his bday party last Saturday. My sister is 36 weeks pregnant and is getting a c-section on July 9th (if she makes it), so she had the party early. I can't believe he is 4. Wow! Where is the time going??? He was such a good boy, very excited boy, but still good!! He got all kinds of things for his bday. My sister Kelly and I got him a bike, with a helmet and horn of course. He was really excited about that.

After his party, we took Lillian swimming for the first time (in a big pool). She liked it so much better than a baby pool! It was nice to get in the water. However, it was more like bath water.

Just want to say Happy Father's Day. I know it was Sunday, but I don't think dads get enough praise. John is the BEST daddy!! He loves his little girl and Lily loves her daddy. Lily is very much a daddy's girl. If he is around, she wants nothing to do with me. I'm so glad that Lily has a daddy that cares so much about her and wants to be very involved in her life. I am so lucky to have him as a husband!! Thank you John for always being there for us. We love you!
