Weekend 8-6-10 to 8-8-10

Friday Nana took off so that we could go to Canadhota Lake early. Pap still had to work in the morning, so Lucy went to Gigi and Papi's for a little while and Nana and I went to the gym. When we got home from the gym, my Dad was just pulling in. I went and got Lucy and came home to shower and get last minute stuff together and then they picked us up. Uncle Jack & Aunt Helen came to the lake too. Daddy stayed home for the weekend. Friday night we had a nice fire and ate mountain pies for dinner.

Saturday was busy. Us girls (Nana, Aunt Helen, Aunt Shirley, Lucy and I) went to the craft show. Pap & Uncle Jack came too, but they only stayed long enough to buy some baked goods and then went looking for the car show. The craft show was small, but nice. I got Lucy a smock/apron that was handmade and in a really cute 'Dora the Explorer' print for when she's a little older. After the craft show we went for a nice long ride on Uncle Bob's boat out on the lake. Then Lucy and I went swimming in the lake. For dinner we had hamburgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob as a picnic outside with Uncle Bob & Aunt Shirley. Then we got changed and went up to Happi Jax for the "do-wop" and ice cream. Then we came back to the cottage and played 'Joker'.

Sunday was spent cleaning up and getting ready to go home. Nana & Pap went for a bike ride while Lucy and I napped. We came home and relaxed with Daddy.

Thursday, 8-5-10

Today we had a playdate with Lisa and her boys so that Lisa and I could exchange some stuff for Starlight Hill Studio. We drove to New Castle to their house so that Lisa wouldn't have to worry about packing up herself and 3 boys to go out with us. It was fun. I don't know how she keeps up with those 3, but I guess you get used to it when you do it everyday. Evan loved Lucy. He kept saying she was "cute" and at one point he kept giving her hugs and kisses. By that point Lucy was really tired and long overdue for a nap so she started crying. Lisa joked that Evan kissed her so much she cried.

8/3/10 & 8/4/10

Tuesday was a boring day at home. I worked on some knitting and Lucy played. Lucy went to Gigi & Papi's house in the evening while I went to the gym with my Mom.

Wednesday's are "knitting club" at Great-Gram's house. This week it was just Lucy and I. Aunt Patty came by to get keys and stuff to pick up Gram's car from the shop. Lucy and I had dinner with Gram and then she played while I knitted and Gram talked. Aunt Patty came back later to visit after picking up Gram's car.

Today was a fun day! Nichole and Aurora came over for a playdate. They had to come to us because we still have no van. They stayed for a while and then mid afternoon my Dad called to say that my van was finally done! Yay!! I forgot to take a picture of Lucy and Aurora. I try to take one every time we get together to show how much the two of them are growing. Later in the evening Mom picked Lucy and I up and we went to their house for dinner. Then Mom took us to pick up the van.

Sunday, August 1st!

Mom let us take her car last night and keep it overnight. We went to church this morning, then to the grocery store as usual. After that we went to Joe's class reunion. It was actually pretty fun. Then we took the car back to my parents' house. We stopped at Jerry's for ice cream and then Mom brought us home.

Last day of July!

Still stranded. Dad worked with the mechanic on the van today, but they didn't get it finished so hopefully on Monday we'll get it back.

Thankfully my Mom was really nice and let us borrow her car. We got it off of her in the evening and our big excitement for the day was going to Target to get some stuff.

Since we've been stranded without a van, it hasn't been a very fun week. Today we took Lucy to a field nearby and took pictures of her in some of her pretty dresses.

The first dress, the blue one was mine when I was a baby. My Mom had my one-year pictures taken in it. The second one was a gift for Lucy's first birthday from Joe's Granddad and step-Grandma Gayle. And the last, pink dress is one that Gigi bought for Lucy.
