There hasn't been many exciting things going on lately. Last week, I went to my classroom to get things in order (which is still an ongoing project) while Hannah was at Mother's Day Out. The biggest accomplishment last week was finishing Hannah's first year scrapbook and completing our 2007-2009 photo albums!! I have set a summer goal every year since I have been teaching, and this goal was one that was LONG overdue. Our latest photo album ended with beach pictures from the summer of 2006! I bought all of the scrapbooking materials for our new baby's first year scrapbook when I found out that we were going to have a girl and they have been in the same Michael's bag since I bought them in 2007. I am so excited that Hannah now has a book that she can cherish for many years to come, and Bobby and I have photo albums that we can look back on as we grow older. This is one thing that I have promised myself that I wouldn't get so far behind on again, although it was ALOT of fun looking back and reminscing.
Hannah's first year scrapbook
The first page in Hannah's scrapbook~I didn't take a picture of every page, but I wanted to! :)
Yesterday, Hannah and I were invited to go to Spring Valley Beach with my mother-in-law, nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law, and sister-in-law. It was such a FUN day!!! After seeing how hot is was going to be yesterday, I dreaded going out and spending all day in the hot, humid weather. Once we got there, Hannah wanted to get right in the water, which we did. Staying in the water helped tremendously!! I don't think I ever got unbearably hot except for getting out to eat lunch. There were alot of people there, but since there is so much to do, the crowd is so dispersed. When Hannah saw the slides, she wanted to go down them. We went down the "big blue slide" once although Hannah wanted to go down it again. It was too scary for me to go down it with her (by myself would have been a different story). In the kiddie area, there were two slides that didn't put you in the water at the end. We went down those 5 million times. Then there were two mini slides (a fish and a frog) that Hannah could go down by herself. The water was shallow enough that while she was sliding, I was sitting in the water getting some sun. Unfortunately, because I stayed in the water with Hannah ALL day, I didn't take any pictures. As I was leaving, I thought about not having any pictures of this fun-filled day, but we will be back before the season ends, so I plan to take pictures then.
