Actually, we do have quite a bit coming up that has definitely been occupying my time this summer. We are homeschooling this year. Yep, never thought I would be saying that, but we are super excited, and super nervous about this new adventure! I have never seen so many Amazon boxes arrive at once - every day is a new surprise filled with books for the upcoming year! This is actually the main reason I have not been blogging. I have been reading and choosing curriculum like crazy. It really is a bit overwhelming, but we're ready, almost. :)
We also have Mia's cleft palate surgery coming up on August 2nd. Not to sound completely "southern", but bless her heart. Most days I am really ready for her to have the surgery so we can move forward with her speech. Other days, I am terrified. I don't think anyone really wants to see their children go through something like this. I have also found myself feeling a little sad about the changes that will come from the surgery. That cute little "dimple" right above her lip will be repaired and eventually, through speech therapy, her words will become clear. Of course that is all good, but it is kind of hard too. I will miss the way she says words now. We are videoing her often to capture those sweet words now. My favorite being "daddy". :)
Stay with us! Lots going on in the Jennings household and a new blog design coming soon!
Snappin' beans!
Water play in the backyard!
Play date with my high school buddies and their children!
July 3rd - we had our friends, Cathy and Jay, over for an early 4th celebration. Somehow I managed to not get one picture of us all together. :(
This is Mia's "surprise face". We see it every time she discovers something new. Sparklers were a definite surprise! And that cute dress? A gift from Granna and Pap-paw. Yes, she wore it 2 days in a row. :)
We spent the 4th at Big Canoe - poppers, more sparklers, and a fantastic fireworks show!
Cousins Courtney and Trevor always add to the fun!
Today found us at the Aquarium! I took many pictures, but this was my favorite.
