Really going back to the end of June...
Lily loved Uncle Ray when we visited Cape Cod. She insisted on sitting on his lap at church. :)

We had a 3 day power outtage after we returned from CC. :P Mike's parents left for England on Day 2 so we day-camped at their house and even shopped at the store near their house with car carts. The kids loved shopping at "Goo's Store"!
I love how Peter is choosing his new book over the car, in the left pic. :)
And they loved playing with the duplos at Goo's House... each of the animals and people (bent over near Peter) are "sleeping" here on their "beds".
These kids are champs at pretend! I absolutely love it.
Aunt Becky sent Lily Duplos for her bday and they are QUITE the hit.
Since Goo and Pop were away on Lily's actual bday, we celebrated the next week with pizza and cupcakes at their house. It was awesome for all.
Lily (& Peter) got super cute hoodies from their England trip!
A friend (step sister? as my dad would say) had a baby recently (Hi Sherry!).
I went to visit him in the hospital (she came here to good ole SMH) and boy was he a cutie!!
Look at him! He was such a little munchkin. Reminded me of little Peter.. similar hair and cuteness.
I love how little they are at birth.
My parents came for a visit last weekend, along with J&J from previous post. We went out for dinner. This storm cloud scared us home. We've had enough crazy storms lately that we took it seriously, but it wasn't so bad. It looked like a huge crashing wave as it approached. EVERYONE in the parking lot was taking pics of it.
Lily got my last greek yogurt out the fridge to eat one day. I said, "Lily, that is my yogurt." She said, "Mommy, we share." Point taken.
A sweet friend brought by flowers this week :)... more on that later.
Lily and Peter are taking a Wed am gym class together this summer. They love it and love doing it together.
I finally convinced Lily to wear the little ballet outfit that Goo and Pop gave her for her bday. She has been hesitant for some reason.
I went on my FIRST ever city bus ride!! They finally twisted my arm after 2-3 years of going without me. It was really fun!! Seriously. We walked through our neighborhood up to the bus stop. Good exercise for all.
Its a little cooler and cloudy today.... perfect.
Daddy and Lily ran to a store to get our bus cards. Peter led me to the bus stop and we waited for the other two. Isn't he cute?
All together... waiting for the bus.
The bad storm clouds in the background weren't so bad... just some sprinkles to keep us cool.
The buses are really cool and clean inside.
Maybe the P fam could start a movement for GRTC of families taking bus rides???
And I'm thinking it sounds like a fun bday party for Peter...
We rode it about 2 miles up to a little shopping area near us. We went to a toy store to get a doll family for the new doll house. Then we walked across the street for lunch (pizza and sandwiches), then ice cream. There is even a library nearby that I'm thinking could be fun for a future visit. But we came home after ice cream in time for naps.
Lily helped me paint a chair this week (not really .... only for the 3 secs it took to take these pics). I really like how it turned out. I used some paint Mom had given me from some doors at her house. :)
