July 19 2008




I've just been able to get back online, but we've have had a great summer so far. We went out to Ohio for the forth of July, Brian talked me into going before he told me we would then be camping for one night on the Fourth. for those of you who know me, I HAVE TO see fireworks on the forth. I thought that would not be the case this year.We went to the home town parade in Canfield Ohio, then packed up the cars and drove to the camping site. When we pulled in, someone said,"you should park over here, because over there is the lunch site! aah. We watched our own Private show that night for 2 hours! It was fantastic. the next morning Kate, Emmett, drew and i went out in a canoe on a glass clear lake. it was beautiful. As we were finishing up braking down camp, Brian took the kids fishing; Sibley caught the first bass, then Drew was able to catch one too! He could not have been happier about it. Drew is taking swimming lessons! He just decided it was okay to put his face in the water and he has really taken off on the swimming, I couldn't be more proud. Audrey watching drew is also loving swimming, she refuses to take a nap until after we have gone to the pool. Needless to say we go almost very day. Today we got to take daddy with us to the Pool. Drew loved to show off all the skills he has been learning. With both of us there, we were able to take both kids into the big pool. I have not heard Audrey giggle so much and smile so long then I have today! she was so so happy to be in the big pool with her daddy! She is such a 2 year old, dressing herself in cloths that do not match, but she doesn't care because she got them on, (they maybe inside out and backwards) but they are on!
