So long Sweet Summer

Summer is not really ending, as it is still 100+ degrees here with no end in sight. However, our lazy days are coming to a close as SCHOOL starts on FRIDAY. That means FOUR more days of Freedom for Little Bit. Not that she goes to real school anyway. She tells me she goes to school to--and I quote-- "Play." LOL

Here is a quick recap of our summer and some of the fun things we did. I am not the most frequent blogger so I don't want to leave anyone out.

Played chess on the Strand in Galveston

Chess pieces literally are as big as she is....

Went to dinner with her awesome aunts and uncles... From left my brother Jay, sister Lisa, brother Josh (with Leila), new sister-in-law Courtney, who is married to my brother Jimmy on right

Snacking at the Children's Museum with Kylie (Look at the camera girls!!!)

First Icee ever on the Kemah Boardwalk fountains

On the Kemah Boardwalk Merry-Go-Round with Aunt Lili

Riding "Daddy Deer" (character from Bambi) on the carousel at the Kemah Boardwalk

Leila's new outfit from Vegas just happened to match her first Barbie's outfit. And Barbie has a toy pink poodle just like Leila. Does the obsession begin now??

Aunt Lili came to visit with her cute dog, Lucy (Leila's true obsession... she only asks about that dog, oh, once an hour.)

Taking Lucy on another dog walk, three a day is still not enough apparently for girl or dog :)

All smiles on the Big Girl Bed... Often I find her asleep on top of all of her stuffed animals and books, which she found essential for nap time

Being kissed by Missy, her Nana's dog

Giving Nana a kiss in return

What about Mom and Dad? We went to Vegas for Patrick's birthday, but had too much fun to take a lot of pictures. Here we are in front of the Hoover Dam.

Leila and Ryan hanging out at his bday party in June... We miss you Ryan!!! (And all of our Sienna friends, for that matter.)

Baby Ethan came to visit and see our new house. They were so cute together. There was a little mugging going down, but I didn't get a good picture of it (thank goodness)

Taking Lucy-Goosey on a dog walk in her jammies in San Marcos.. truly the highlight of my brother Jimmy's wedding weekend.

Singing in the Rain...
