School is Out and the Pool is Open
School is out and this is what we did the first day of school vacation. My girls are like fish and they love being in the pool and oddly enough I’m enjoying it this summer too. Not sure why. Perhaps it’s because we have neighbors that enjoy swimming with us as well? It’s always fun with friends. Or maybe it’s just because I’ve slowed down so I can enjoy myself more? I don’t really know but I have a feeling by the time summer is over we are all going to be completely water-logged from all the swimming. But see the happy look on her face? That’s what I enjoy the most. She’s swimming up a storm and just enjoying herself. This is what parenting…
Balloon Head
While visiting with Jodi a few weeks ago, the kids started blowing up balloons. The most exciting part for me was Jodi showed me how to tie a balloon – I never knew how to do it but now I do! They had a lot of fun with the balloons and as you can see from the picture, Holly figured out how to make the balloons stick to her head and now she is known as “Balloon Head”. She’s cute no matter what!
“Girlie” Cousins
My cousin Mia turned 50 this month and Danielle hosted a little birthday party at Twin Oaks. She had no idea and was very surprised (and happy!) when she arrived and realized she wasn’t having dinner with just Danielle. We had a nice dinner and it was good to be together as a family. It was also a great opportunity to get a picture of all the ‘girl’ cousins since they’ve all grown so much. I look at Danielle, Stephanie and Alyssa and I remember the days they were born, as if it were yesterday. And then I laugh at myself thinking I must be old because that’s what old people say when they see kids! But it’s true – they are all grown up…
And Baby makes FOUR!!!!!
We will be a complete family of FOUR in April!!! The newest edition to the Wilmes Family will arrive the end of April and we couldn’t be happier. Today was our first doctor’s appointment and we had an ultrasound and was able to see little Baby W for the first time. It’s little arms and legs were moving around like crazy. A very active baby, guess this one will be just like Holly!! It was so great to see the baby and now it feels so much more real, even though my belly has already begun to grow, this just reassures me that everything is going well.
There is a Leprechaun in Our House
We aren’t Irish and don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day but somehow this Leprechaun still managed to sneak into our house and hang himself up on the wall….. Just another one of Allison’s FUN Kindergarten Art’s & Crafts projects. I think she did a pretty good job!
