That is a real parrot! It was so funny..
Bella would only touch LiLi's hand but
not the parrot.

My Family!! How did I get so
blessed?

I don't give them ice cream much
so this was a treat..I think they
liked it!

Hello my friends! We had such a busy July that I will be breaking it down into 2 posts.

On July 3rd, we headed down to Washington, DC to spend the 4th of July weekend. We had a great time walking around DC and Georgetown. We had lunch at Zed's (a wonderfful Ethiopian restuarant). I asked the waitress a couple of questions and she answered them happily. We also had dinner one night at one of our favorites..Old Ebbitt's Grill. For the 4th, we headed to the mall and watched a spectacular fireworks show. We didn't get back to the room until after midnight..but of course the kids were up at 7. :) We got back to Charleston early evening on the 5th.

The week of the 6th through 10th was quite packed. We had 5 doctors appointments..all with good results. Praise God.

George's son, Chris, and his wife, Alison, had us over to see their house and for dinner. We had a great time. They were just marrid in April.

On July 10th, we headed down to Orlando, Florida. We meet my Dad and stepmom Terry and my sisters, brother-in laws, stepsister, stepbrother, nieces and nephews there. This was the first time that my sisters and my stepbrother had met Bella We had a low key week. The only park we visited was one day ay The Magic Kingdom. The kids had a blast but by 4 pm..LiLi was ready for the pool. We spent the rest of the week at the pool. It had a lazy river and a slide that the kids liked. LiLi could go down by herself and thought she was such a big girl. George took Bella down more times than we can count but then he decided she could go down by herself. I waited at the bottom of the slide to catch her She came down each time with a huge grin and arms open wide. LiLi is best friends with her cousin, Logan, so I am so glad that they had this time together.
We headed back to Charleston on the 18th.

George's son, Kevin, and his family came over on July 19th. My mom and her friend, Elizabeth, also spent the day with us. George made a great dinner...we headed to the playground after dinner. I am SO glad that we don' have mosquitos in Philadelphia. I sprayed us with repellent from head to toe and we had to leave because LiLi had 8 mosquito bites on her legs..poor thing.

I will post some pictures now. I will be posting Part 2 later this..so stay tuned! :)
