All American Ally, Lauren, and Sara


We have enjoyed our first weekend of summer - no school, no work, just fun! Today we ventured out to the big Memorial Day Parade in Dacula. It was HOT and we all got a little sun! Ally really enjoyed collecting the candy in the parade. She ended up with quite a collection. She got so sweaty! She enjoyed the horses the most.

Sara and Lauren have taught Ally several songs that she continually requests, especially in the car. Her favorites include, "Jesus Loves Me" (called "Bible"), "I'm a Little Teapot" (called "teapot"), "Picking up a Baby BumbleBee" ("Bumblebee"), and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" ("Spider"). The funniest is when we say "Teapot", Ally will pose like the teapot!

We went out to Kohls to do a little summer shopping on Saturday while Daddy was at graduation. We make Ally "hold a hand" (anyone's hand) while we cross into any road or parking lot. She knows that this is the routine, and everytime we say the same thing, "hold a hand". As we left Kohls and Ally stepped off the curb, she immediately held her own hand. We, as usual, said "hold a hand, Ally". She looked up at Lauren and said, "Ally hold a hand"! She was very determined to continue crossing the road holding her own hand! She didn't win that one...

So glad you all had such a great weekend! We did too! Hope your first full week of summer is great! The girls will probably sleep late each day (not Ella). Savannah has a job @ Chamber of Commerce so that is going well.

Looks like fun. I see I am not the only one with a sweaty little girl :)
