A Month of Sundays

Hi Liddy, I'm sorry I haven't written for almost a whole month! There has been so much going on that I hardly know where to begin. The month of July started out with us all going camping, it was your first trip to Indian Lakes. Your Grandma Marzena and Great Helen had fun fishing and I think you really liked looking up at the trees, well at least until it started raining and then it poured for two days. I promise that we will go camping alot and you will have your very own fishing pole.

The next Sunday was your very first time in Sunday School. I took you with me to Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. We sat in the back row and we visited the nursery and took your picture with the teacher. I've been going to that church off and on for several years but I've never talked to as many people there as I did that Sunday. They all wanted to see you and tell me how pretty and cute you are. The new Catholic Church by our house opened up that same day, I know that your Mommy wants to take you there soon. It doesn't matter which church you go to honey, they are all God's houses and it makes him happy when we go and sing songs to him.

And speaking of happy you sure are starting to smile alot! Certain things like your Mommy and Daddy talking to you make you smile everytime but once in awhile I get a special smile all to myself and it is sweeter than all of the chocolate pudding and marshmallows in the whole world!

I love to take you for walks in your stroller, sing 3 blind mice, kiss your little cheeks and rock you to sleep. Your little hands and legs are getting stronger and you love to stretch and grunt. Grandma's birthday was this past Sunday, August 2nd. Now I'm 49 years old, next year I'll be half way to one hundred! Great Helen, Leon, Uncle Russell, Aunt Becky, Mandy, Katie, Gabby, Kevin and Matthew all came to town and stayed for a few days. We had lots of fun at your house swimming and playing in the yard and we had lots of good food. Then on Monday we all went to the zoo for the whole day. It was fun but you were getting kind of sick of it around 2:00. I didn't blame you it was nice out but kind of windy and you''re really not too happy about wearing hats anymore.

That catches us up to August little Angel, I'll try not to wait so long to write again. I'm so excited about all of the things that we will be able to do together. For now we'll keep working on smiles, and soon we'll graduate to giggles.

Oh and PS..Ann moved into her own apartment a few weeks ago and so far she really loves it. I know you'll miss her at the house but we can go visit her anytime. She lives right beside Walmart so there is no reason that we can't stop and buy toys every time that we go there :)

Grandma Loves You!
