Lots of Family and Sun!

Last week Grandma V (Gee gee now...Grandma was just too hard to pronounce) flew in to play with Gwennie. They had so much fun going for walks, shopping, going to the pool and playing dress up. Gee gee seems to think Gwennie needs a new outfit every time we leave the house so I am pretty sure she had at least 3 wardrobe changes a day. The good news is that Gee gee loves to to laundry so I didn't feel like I was constantly having a date with the washer and dryer. Gee gee also seems to think Gwennie is still 2 months old and loves to nap so whenever I noticed the house was quiet I'd check the bedroom and there they were...rocking in the glider. I think Gwennie appeased her because she liked having Gee gee around but was sick of nap time by Saturday!

Saturday morning we headed down to Sparkle City for the July birthday lunch with the Gary/Meek/Crawford side of the family. Great Grandma Gary, Great Aunt Nina, Great Uncle Bob, Grandma Nancy, Grandpa Bob, Megan, Corbin, Gwennie and I all had a nice lunch and then headed back to Great Grandma Gary's house where Miss Gwennie decided it was her job to check out EVERYTHING in the house. She was all over the place in drawers, rooms, hallways, grabbing magazines, books, and checking her reflection out in the television. The good news is that after all the running around she passed out as soon as we left the driveway and slept all the way home.

Sunday as usual we had breakfast with Miss Jen at the Pancake House (ergo the new bathing suit...70% off sale at Shower Me With Love...can any kid have too many???) and then headed over to the pool with our neighbors. Gwennie is obsessed with running through the water and has so much fun playing with the other kids when we are there. We think she's so popular because of her funny nature but really it's because she's armed with 20 buckets and plenty of beach toys. By the end of the summer we will probably be down to 1 bucket and a rake with the way kids run off with them. Corbin and I spend a good 15 minutes searching the pool to find any toy with "MEEK" written on the bottom :-) Needless to say by the time we are all home everyone is ready for bed!
