Tomorrow, on July 1, my wonderful husband and I are going to Chicago to celebrate our 10th anniversary! We're so excited! We plan on going to a nice dinner, then see the Blue Man Group, then spend the night in Chicago. We even arranged for 24 hours (approximately) of babysitting for a flat rate of $100!!!
It was a very busy June in the Lashley house! We started it off with Emma's ballet and tap recital. She did excellent (of course!) Here's a couple of pictures from that. Not long after that, Emma and I went to a waterfall near Kentucky (Bella stayed home - she had no desire for a hike), where I got not 1, but TWO ticks, one of which we found in my hair while visiting friends in Michigan! Ewww!!! Thankfully, only 1 of the ticks had attached itself, and I promptly got on homeopathic remedies. Then, Emma had Little Flowers camp (so much fun!), where she earned a tea party badge, and a corporal works of mercy badge. They even had adoration there this year! So awesome! A few hours after Little Flowers camp ended, Emma and I went to pick Bella up from her dad, and the 3 of us drove to Maryland, where we spent the week doing the D.C. thing and reconnecting with my dad's family that I hadn't seen since he died about 22 years ago. We even got a 4 generation picture with my 94 year old grandmother! Here's a few fun pictures of our week! While we were there, I developed a weird pimple on or REALLY close to the place the tick had bitten me, so now I'm on 10 days of a special antibiotic. Yay! When we finally got back from Maryland, late Sunday night, we went to bed, and got up early on Monday to go to VBS, where I was teaching music. It has been every day from 9-noon. It's been fun, but exhausting. On Tuesday, after VBS, the girls and I (and one of Emma's friends from church) went to Splash Island (a waterpark), and then Emma's friend spent the night. It was the only sleepover we've hosted that I would consider doing again. She did great! Yesterday, we went to the zoo after VBS to see the polar bear before she left (she went to a polar bear nursing home in Detroit), but we were too late. :-( We were happily surprised to find, though, that they have a 3 month old baby girl orangutan, and 3 lion cubs! Finally, today, I went to court for Bella (if you remember, not long before this last Christmas, Bella's father - out of nowhere - decided that I should NEVER see her again). I'm happy to report that the current schedule stays the same, I have to attend her therapy sessions (which I already would have been doing, had I known about them), and her father and I have to go to parenting classes. No biggie. :-) :-) :-)
