More of this week....

Emma and Hannah this week - they have been so good considering a lot of our attention has gone to Lilly this week. 

This was Thursday night when Bo was out of town. The girls got the dress up box out. Hannah decided to be Pocohantas. Of course she had on a Minnie Mouse necklace, a Minnie Mouse earring, and sparkly shoes. She was a hot mess and I sent this to Bo that night for a good laugh since we really needed one!

After Lilly's vet appointment today we took the kids to the pool while she was resting. This was our first swim of the summer. I could not believe Emma's swimming progress in the water. Hannah is in a swim ring this year, so we are no longer holding kids in the pool - wooo hoooo!!! (yes, we are still swimming in the pool and right with them, but it is nice to not carry one around all the time!)

This evening was the annual summer Chuckatuck fish fry - yee haw! This night reminds me how I love the small town I grew up in and the Oakland/Chuckatuck/Kings Hwy community. We always see people we have known forever, but not see all the time. Hannah loved the homemade ice cream and cake. Emma loved her fish! Hannah's picture was also taken by a photographer after we went to the bake sale, so we will see if she makes the newspaper! We also got to see the family of Officer James Winslow, who was the police officer severely beaten and injured about a month ago. He was my sister's age and his brother was my age while growing up. He is finally at home recovering and it was good to see his family in person and tell them how much we have thought about them. The fish fry is always at the volunteer fire station, so the girls were posing on the firetruck. So many people had even heard of Lilly's accident being it happened at mom's house, so it was so nice to have people concerned about her! We took Lilly to mom and dads while we ate. We had her crated but when we all got home we had her in the backyard and she looked like the happiest dog ever running around. She also recognized Lindsay. Andy and the girls played outside for awhile, then had popsicles.
