Angelica's Summer

Angelica has had one busy summer. Here are a few of the highlights...

beating her first pinata at her cousin Jeff's 4th birthday party. 


going down the big slide 4 times (at $3.00/ride) at the Beecher carnival with daddy. 


 We converted her crib to a toddler bed on the 4th of July. She did good with it.


 I thought she would get up and run wild around her room, but at the end of naptime, this is how we found her.


 She was seriously THIS excited about the firetrucks blowing their horns in the Beecher 4th of July parade.

 Angelica taking her BFF Rusty for a ride around the kitchen in her wheeled toy crate.

 Wearing daddy's shoes.



She LOVES technology. My cousin Kara's fiance Jeff has a 6 year old daughter named Kendall. They came to stay with us mid-July when I threw Kara's bridal shower. Kendall was happy to share her laptop with Angelica and Angelica was thrilled!




She did good with the toddler bed and thanks to some very generous friends, we got a full size mattress. We converted her crib futher to a full size bed so that we could move the crib mattress to Fiona's room. I was more nervous about this conversion. She did good though. She fell off the foot of the bed the first night, but since then she has been doing great. She has been in the big bed for over a month now and seems to enjoy it.

TUB TIME!



Our old childhood neighbors came to visit us at the end of July. Mike, Kim, me, Nikki, Lisa & Angelica.

Her first french braid...I cannot even tell you how long I have been waiting to do this!!!


 Last day of summer gymnastics


Her absolute favorite thing to do at gymnastics, swing from the bar. She is a strong girl!

All smiles, getting ready to go to Jack's 1st Birthday party 


Me and my girl - finally I am not behind the camera!



Playing with baby Lucas. I think she will be a good big sister.


Feeding the deer at Deer Forest in Coloma, MI. She wanted to feed them one kernel of corn at a time. The deer were not into that.
