Lots of Lake Time

As to be expected this time of year we are spending all our time at the lake. Thankfully this has been an pretty gorgeous summer so far which makes all our time on the water that much better.

Silly Girl

There is no doubt our little one has personality and lots of it. We have been practicing our silly faces. Lyla's are getting pretty good.

First Train Trip

One of our many mommy daughter adventures...at train trip down to visit my parents. A great adventure and so fun to have Grandpa pick us up at the station. Lyla did amazing and I could ride like that any day. Sooooo relaxing. Danny met us a couple days later and took us home.

First Week of Summer

This summer I've taken some time off to hang with my munchkin. The schedule is Monday and Friday with Mommy and Tuesday through Thursday with Chelly. Yes, we have Chelly back for the summer and we couldn't be happier. She is a huge blessing. We were crushed when she decided to go back to teach and close her daycare. Thankfully she is now off for the summer months while Lyla is so they can still have lots of time together. On our mommy daughter days we have been having a whole lot of fun. Some how Monday always seem to be a day of recovery after a long weekend and Friday are spent preparing for that same weekend but we still find time to slip in some fun things in between like trips to the zoo, gelato at Met Market, shopping at Tacoma mall or playing at the waterpark down at Titlow beach (among many other fun places). It has been an amazing start to the summer and we are looking forward to many more wonderful days full of last memories.

Last Day of School

So I am way, way, way, WAY behind on my posts so be prepared for an overload. June 14th was the last day of Lyla's first year at school. As you can see it wasn't exactly the warmest June day but I know it was a good one. This first year has been amazing. We couldn't be more grateful for the Geiger Montessori staff and for her wonderful teacher Ms. Glenn. Unfortunately we found out that Ms. Glenn will be moving up to the older grades next year so it is still a mystery who her new teacher will be. We have put in our requests but can only cross our fingers now and wait. Lyla is going to miss Ms. Glenn so much as we all had grown to depend on her and had hoped Lyla would be be with her the next few years.

A Little Grandma and Grandpa Time

This last weekend Lyla and I headed south to visit Grandma and Grandpa. My dad has his hip replaced the week before and we wanted to come and keep him company while he is recovering and of course spend a little time with Grandma too. We had a blast. A little shopping (of course), time at the house, time at the lake. It really was a great weekend and thankfully great weather.

First Front Yard Pool Day

Now that we've had a few nice days of weather it was time to get out the pool. Daddy gave Lyla all her bath toys to keep her company and of course I soaked my feet and hung out her while she played. Being the social butterfly she is Lyla greeted everyone that walked by. Gotta love her.
