Vacation is just 15 short days away!

We leave for vacation on Saturday Aug 15th. Any ideas on
how I can make the next two weeks zip by? Ha ha! We are
all super excited. The girls CANNOT wait to spend a week at
the beach!

Want a 6-packr?

I have gotten a ton of emails about the 6-pack holder we
gave as a gift last weekend. In case you want to get your
own personalized 6-pack holder you can contact the designer
directly at rob@bullfrog-graphics.com.

Here is the listing to buy the personalized 6-pack holder:

I think the 6-pack holder is a great gift but he also has a
ton of creative wood items listed. I actually just
transformed the 6-pack holder into a picnic caddy (envision
3 slots on one side for forks, spoons, knives and one big
slot on the other side for napkins!) for an upcoming
housewarming gift. He is very creative and easy to work
with.

Bonus - Rob said that he will make the 6-pack holder /
picnic caddy for $24 if you tell him you are a reference
from me and you give my name (he has gotten a few sales
already!).

Enjoy shopping on Etsy!

Calendar must be wrong... it says July 28th

My calendar must be wrong... it says July 28th. Say it
ain't so! How can we be 4 1/2 weeks from "back to school"
week? I digress...

Today's weather forecast called for dark clouds and showers,
but they held off long enough for Adelina to go to swim
class and the kids to play out back. Joseph (aka little
surfer boy) had a ball playing with the mini skim board we
have. Once the watermelon came out all bets were off - they
are all watermelon monsters!

Adelina really is a Golden Knight

Adelina joined cheerleading and is already loving it. They
had two unofficial practices so far to just do a little
expo at the St. Cecelia's Fair opening night. Nothing
fancy - no dance or tumbling, but for her, this was like
Broadway! She was so excited... and looked adorable :)
Next week she has cheer camp in Clark for the whole week and
then official practice for SCGK starts August 1st.

For all of the pictures, look on the right side under "Our
Photos" for "2009 Summer". There is also a short clip of a
few of the cheers they did under "Our Videos".

Beach Day

We had a fantastic day today at the beach. The temperature
was perfect and the waves were just the right speed for our
boogie board girls. Adelina and Isabelle played great with
friends, and they all jumped waves, boarded, and played
together for hours. Even Joseph started to break out of his
shell towards the end of the day and slowly made his way
within feet of the water. He's still not brave enough to
actually touch the water, but we are getting there. Overall
a FANTASTIC day!

Bible School Show

This week the girls' attended Camp E.D.G.E at the First
United Methodist Church of Westfield. This is the 2nd year
they have attended, and they really enjoy the program! This
year was a camping theme, last year was a surfing theme.
The girls sang and danced for the show. Fantastic program.

For all of the pictures, look on the right side under "Our
Photos" for "2009 Summer". There is also a video of their
group song posted under "Our Videos". Adelina is in the
front middle. Isabelle is far, far left almost impossible
to see.

"Happy" 4th of July

Happy 4th of July. In between runs to the hospital, we
spent 4th of July at home with the Lowrys and McKenzies.
The kids had a ball playing while the adults shuffled two by
two back and fourth to JFK. Not your traditional July 4th
holiday but still nice to be together. At night, Dan D'Arcy
did his fireworks display around the corner. It was great!
Then Isabelle and I fell asleep watching the Boston Pops.
Happy 4th of July!

Sun and Sand

On July 3rd we visited the DeCoite family in their new "home
away from home in Lavallette". Great day! We had a blast
on the beach and the Marinello girls were exposed to Boogie
boarding - love it! After dinner we headed to their bay
beach for fun on the playground. Awesome day!

She is officially a Golden Knight

Tonight was Adelina's first ever cheerleading practice. She
was so excited I couldn't control the ants in her pants. I
drove her there with every intention to stay for the first
10-15 mins of practice but NO CAN DO. No parents allowed.
Two hours later at pick-up time she still had ants in her
pants, so I guess she really liked it. Go Golden Knights!
