WOW! It is already July and Addie Grace is 7 months old! Boy have we been busy around here. Let me start with just the daily activites and then we will get to her specifics!!
Each and every day- a must- BOYS SWIM!!! Now we can add Buddy (the lab) to the list of boy swimmers in the house! He loves the pool! If the gate is left open, he dives in for an afternoon swim. The boys are like fish! They can swim the length of the pool while holding their breathe, dive from every angle, do flips and just play and have a great time! They actually think that the swimming pool is a good reason to avoid the shower- not my idea of a bath!
The boys are playing FOOTBALL!!! They practice three times a week for 1.5 hours to 2 hours! Since they have taken on this crazy practice schedule we have put karate on the back burnner for a little while! They are really enjoying learning the ends and outs of football and they are really happy to see their friends. Of course, many pictures to follow!!!!
We have been running around like crazy this month trying to work in all the "fun" things they want to do before school starts. We took a day trip to Coca-Cola Factory in Atlanta, a day trip to Chattanooga, Bailey went and saw Phantom of the Opera, we have seen every kids movie that has come out this summer- (I like those- they are air conditioned), seen the laser show, played outside, played inside....just busy, busy, busy! I think the boys have had a great summer! We have even managed to work a little school stuff into the scheulde- summer reading, multiplication facts, and site words!
You might ask, "What has Addie Grace been up to while the boys have been so busy?"
Well, she is right there with them! She is so in love with her brothers! If they are not laughing and rolling around together- she has them by the hair kissing them on the mouth!!! It is precious to watch the three of them! We weighed her last Sunday
(7/25/10) and she weighed 20 lbs. 9.5 oz- PRECIOUS! It takes a lot of work to keep up that adorable figure!
