Enjoying Summer...

We sure have been enjoying our summer. We have been super busy since the last day of school. We have been to Carowinds multiple times, helped Blake's teacher move her classroom to a different school, Davis had a week of Cub Scout Camp, a weekend in the mountains, LOTS of baseball and getting ready for Alina's arrival. I can't believe she will be here in 2 days! I've been through all her clothes left from last year and gotten rid of the things that I know are too small. We have had several fundraisers (Thirty One Gifts and Tastefully Simple) to help us with funding while she is here. I plan to take her shopping on Thursday to find clothes that fit! Tonight we painted an accent wall in the bonus room and cleaned really well. I'm not pulling out the bed until Wednesday so that the boys can still play the Wii for the next 2 days before she arrives. I do still have to pick up a few things at the store tomorrow...hair elastics and clips, underwear, a stuffed animal to take to the airport and a new pair of earrings. I'm sure the list will grow between and and the time I actually go shopping...but I think that's all I need before she gets here. The other things can wait. I do already have her dentist appointment scheduled with Dr Bird on July 2nd. I'm sure Alina will be happy to see the dentist again and I hope her visit goes as well as it did last year. Blake also has a BIG baseball tournament coming up this weekend. The Area Tournament starts on Thursday. We actually have a bye and don't play until Friday night at 6:30. The tournament is at ITAA so at least it's local. The boys have done a FABULOUS job so far and I'm sure they will do great once again in this tournament! I'm looking forward to the highs and lows of 9U All Stars to begin! We have a lot going on in the next few days/weeks. I will do my best to keep up on my blog. I will definatly catch up when I can. Wish us luck and I can't wait to hug my "daughter"!
