June 2015

This month has had its ups & downs.  We had to say goodbye to my parent’s dog, Abbey.  She had just gotten too old and was struggling on a lot of fronts.  It was a hard decision, but the dog had a really good life.  I thought I’d be OK, but I soon found out I wasn’t.  It was much tougher than I thought it’d be and was even more difficult when we told Addy.  She was very sad and was concerned with Shelly and my parents.  I thought it was so sweet that at 3 she was thinking of others.  Addy asked many questions about death, heaven and god and I think we answered everything well.  She was concerned about Brinkley after the fact.  She wanted to make sure she wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.  Thinking about that day with Brinkley is already ridiculously hard to think about so hopefully we have years & years & years until that!  On to happier things!!

Summer has set in and it has been hot & humid.  Addy has refused to wear anything other than a dress for at least a month and a half now.  I bought her some new dresses, but we got a boat load of hand me downs from a friend.  Addy is in dress heaven!  Addy started taking swim lessons and she has become part fish.  She loves the water and I’m shocked at how quickly she became acquainted with the water.  It’s fun to watch her learn things, but she thinks she can swim when she really can’t.  There is a waterslide at my parent’s pool and she really wants to go down it.  However, you are only allowed to go down when you can swim the length of the pool.  I guess this is something we will have to work towards!  Other than that, nothing new, just hanging out with friends and enjoying the beautiful weather!
