AH!!! I'm finally caught up again! I'm not sure how long it'll last, but at least I got caught up again.
Robert and I were up early to get in another workout with the trainer. By the time we got home, Abigail and Melinda were up and having breakfast at the table. Robert was already on a conference call for work and I jumped in the shower to get cleaned up before our hair appointment.
Abigail and I left around 10:00 a.m. to pick Ally up on our way to the salon. We each were scheduled to get a back to school tune-up even though I know we'll probably have to get in again closer to the first day of school. Melinda stayed home to get some things done while we were gone.
The girls went first and were done within an hour. Robert came by to take them home for lunch and I stayed for the next three hours to finish my hair. Yes, I know....three hours! I was having several things done to my hair, which does take some time, but it's also nice to sit quietly for awhile and actually be able to hear the voices in my head (totally kidding!).
Robert dropped the girls off at piano lessons at 2:00 and I was out in time to run home to grab a quick bite to eat before heading out to pick them up.
When we got home, I laid down to play a quick game of Candy Crush and woke up from nap about 30 minutes later. The girls started washing their clothes before Abigail had to leave for soccer practice. Once Robert and Abby left, we got the dogs fed and fixed ourselves something for dinner before sitting down to watch another episode of Glee. After I watched an episode, I started getting things cleaned up in the girls room before Robert and Abigail arrived home. I had a craving for Sweet Frog, so we were waiting for them at the back door so we could take off again.
When we got home, the girls got cleaned up and ready for bed and Melinda and I cleaned up the house a little bit. She is such a sweet heart for helping me out around the house. I never expected her to be helping me so much.
Tomorrow is going to start out very early, well...early for summer time, so we were all in our rooms and getting ready for bed earlier than normal. We're in for an exciting couple of days and I can't wait!

Day 50
Monday, July 29, 2013
Our Monday morning began like our Sunday morning. We really didn't have anything planned for the day, except for our afternoon workout with the trainer. Melinda had asked to make another trip to the library, but other than that, our day was open.
The girls asked about going swimming, so we started getting ourselves ready for a swim. Melinda wanted to stay home and get some more reading done before taking her books back to the library. I messaged a friend to see if we could go swimming at her place and she was happy to have us over. They were already at their community pool when we arrived, and all four of us jumped right in. Mainly because the water was a little cold due to the overcast skies and time of day. I didn't pack my usual swim bag since we ran out the door so quickly. Typically, I will pack lots of snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and towels, but since we went about an hour before lunch time, I figured we would just stay for a short time and then grab a bite to eat on our way home.
All of the girls had a great time at the pool. They played with a few of the other kids that were also at the pool and my friend and I were able to sit and visit for awhile.
Once we were home, the girls played while I got cleaned up in order to get to the library. They wanted to stay, so Melinda and I went to the library by ourselves. She found several new books to read and I grabbed a few for Ally and Abby to read. I think Melinda is feeling a little bit better about her reading and is just getting through as many small books as she can. She still has some questions about certain words, but it's mainly when they are not used in their literal context. It was so sweet...this morning, I came out of my room to hear Abigail helping her understand the word 'above'. Both of my girls are learning so much throughout this summer. Primarily, they are learning what it is like to learn another language and just how difficult it is.
After we got back from workout, we had dinner and finished a movie we had started the night before. Melinda wanted to watch a few more Glee episodes, so we got set up in the living room while Abigail camped out in our bedroom. Ally went to spend the night with her friend who was just at our house last night. I made it through several blogs while watching the show. Robert laughs at how much Melinda and I have in common. We like the same movies, t.v. shows, and are both scared of spooky things that come out at night time.

Day 49
Sunday, July 28, 2013
As usual, everyone took their time getting out of bed. After the busy day we had yesterday, everyone was due a relaxing morning. We really didn't have anything planned for the day, so we laid around for a little bit before we really got up and moving.
Melinda wanted to make another Hungarian dish for us, so she and I headed to the grocery store to get supplies. I had picked up a cooking magazine earlier in the week and found several recipes that we both wanted to try out. I picked up the ingredients we needed for these dishes and Melinda got what she needed for hers.
Once we got home, I started fixing lunch and we sat down to eat. Ally's friend came over just as we were finishing and the girls went their separate ways to do whatever it is that 11 year old little girls do. Robert went outside to finish mowing the yard and Melinda and I stayed inside with the girls.
Ally and her friend wanted to bake a pound cake, so they headed into the kitchen to get it started before Melinda was going to start making her dish. They had the crazy idea of adding purple food coloring to it. Once they were done, Melinda headed into the kitchen to start her dish...Hungarian goulash. She made it with potato's, carrots, onions, pork, and home made noodles. She also made this amazing biscuits with cheese on top. We had dad over for dinner again and we all loved it! We went back for seconds and all of the girls loved the biscuits. We were all stuffed and couldn't eat anymore.
Dad headed back home and we settled in to watch our latest Netflix movie. We received Secretariet, which is a movie that we all love to watch. We were excited for Melinda to see it with us. She loved seeing all the beautiful horses and watching them race around the track. The best part is that it is a true story.
Once the movie was over, Ally and her friend took over the living room and Abigail went to bed in her room. Melinda retreated to her room and we went to ours.

Day 48
Saturday, July 27, 2013
Everyone was up early for a very busy Saturday.
Robert had a meeting concerning one of his websites, so we stayed home to finish getting ready for the day. When he returned home, we were all ready and waiting for him to begin the rest of our day.
First, we made a quick stop at Wal-Mart to get a gift for a birthday party we were invited to. Robert and I ran in while the girls stayed in the car. Once we were done, we headed to Sunnyvale for the party. The party was for a four year old little boy and his party was shark themed. They even had a giant shark balloon that was powered by a remote control. The table was set with all sorts of candies for the guests to fill as they were leaving the party. The food table contained a shark shaped watermelon that was filled with lots of different types of fruits. Melinda was amazed at how detailed everything was. This was very characteristic of the hostess. She is meticulously organized and throws the best parties. She and I are very similar in that we prefer for things to be very organized and routine.
We had to leave the party early in order to make it to Abigail's soccer game on time. We made it to the field a few minutes early and she and Robert practiced just a little bit before the coach arrived. Once the previous game had ended, the girls headed onto the field to begin warm ups. Unfortunately, this game didn't go our way. We lost 5-2.
After the game was over, we headed home to start getting ready for church. Robert was scheduled to be the lecture and I was to be one of the Eucharistic Ministers. Ally was also to be an alter server and Dad was helping as an usher. That left Melinda and Abigail to hold our seats as we each were up and down during different parts of the service. I'm glad that Melinda has been able to see us all volunteering at church. We feel it is very important to give back to the church with our various 'talents'.
Ally is up front lighting the candles prior to the mass
Once church was over, we decided to have dinner at a local Mexican food restaurant called Christina's. Dad went with us and we visited and ate until we could talk and eat no more.
Melinda and I were signed up to participate in a painting class with one of the art teachers from the school district. I have attend the classes several times before and was super excited about taking Melinda to the class with me. The teacher is the same one that taught the girls earlier in the summer for their art camp. She is a phenomenal artist and teacher.
The art teacher wrote Melinda's name at the front of the table
Robert dropped us off at the arts center and we went in and found our seats. The teacher introduced Melinda as the person who traveled the furthest to attend the class. YAH! She began giving us our paints and started the instructions. Melinda was very nervous to paint the picture that was hanging on the wall, but I promised her that our teacher was great and would help us get through it.
After a few hours, we had both finished our paintings. We had such a wonderful time and I think we both did an amazing job. Melinda and I both loved seeing everyones' paintings. They each followed the same instructions, but every one of the paintings turned out just a little bit different. We had a great time!
Melinda's blank canvas before any painting began
Melinda is beginning her beach sunset sky. Looks good!
The sunset, ocean, and beach. All she's missing is the sun.
The finished product!!!
Here are some of the paintings.
Robert came by to pick us up and we were home and in bed in now time. It was truly a tiring, yet enjoyable, day.

Day 47
Friday, July 26, 2013
This morning, we were all up bright and early and getting ready for the delivery men to arrive with the new t.v. Robert picked out an amazing t.v. and we couldn't wait to see it.
The two men arrived and began setting it up while Robert was still on a conference call. All four of the girls were in the living room watching as they carefully removed it from its packaging and got it set up on the t.v. cabinet. It was AMAZING!!!! Robert came in a few minutes before they finished and we got a quick lesson on how to operate the thing. Yes, we had to have lessons, it's that awesome! The girls couldn't wait to try out a 3D movie on it and we couldn't wait to tune into ESPN and see some football on that big, beautiful screen.
Once the initial thrill had slightly wore off, Robert sat down to do some work and I started putting the finishing touches on my t.v. cabinet. I know I said I had finished it before, but there was just one last thing to do to get it all done. (Well, I do want to replace the drawer pulls with different ones, but that will require some serious shopping around to find the 'right' ones.) I borrowed my dads staple gun and attached the chicken wire to the smaller side of the unit and then reattached the door with the screw driver. Finally....DONE! I am so pleased with my summer project and now have a long list of future projects to also complete, but that's for another time.
The girls had been itching to get into the pool, so after lunch everyone got dressed and we headed over to mom and dads to get into the pool. It was a little bit overcast, so the water wasn't very warm. Melinda hates being cold, so she decided to sit out and read on her new Kindle. I got in for a little bit, mainly to cool off from the killer workout we had just finished. Once I was feeling better, I got out and sat next to Melinda to read on my iPhone aka take a nap. The girls stayed in for a short time before wanting to get out and have dinner. Mom is still out of town, so Dad came over to eat dinner with us.
Robert and I had plans to go out for the evening, so we got all the girls situated and we headed out. We went to hear a singer/song writer perform at a restaurant in Plano. We have heard him several times and were looking forward to an evening out. Melinda has been so wonderful and offers to stay at home with the girls so Robert and I can go out sometimes. I know that her relationship with each of the girls grows stronger each day and I know that both of my girls are going to miss her so much. She and Ally have spent so much time in the kitchen, baking, cooking, and talking and I know that Ally has matured so much over this summer. Abigail has grown to see Melinda is a new big sister. They play games together and she loves to watch Abigail act silly. She makes us all laugh. I can't believe that in just one more month, Melinda will be on a plane heading back to Hungary. This summer has just flown by.

Day 46
We were all up early for Ally's final day of volleyball camp. Robert and I headed to the gym after dropping her off and then went home to get ready for the day.
I went to the gym a few minutes before the camp was scheduled to end in order to watch Ally play. She played amazingly and was so happy to have completed the camp. We stopped to bring something home for lunch and then took some time to rest before we had to get Abigail ready for soccer practice.
 |
| Ally is somewhere in that large group of girls |
Before Robert and Abigail had to leave for soccer practice, Melinda and I made a quick run to an antique mall in Sunnyvale. I have always wanted to stop in, but never really had a reason to. Melinda said she loves antiques and has been so excited to walk through one of the many antique shops that we have in and around Forney. We had just a few minutes to make it, so we took the opportunity. Melinda loved seeing all of the nick-knacks that were in the shop and I found a few pieces to add to the new t.v. cabinet in the living room.

Robert and Abigail had to leave for soccer, so and Melinda, Abigail, and I settled in to watch another movie once we had finished dinner. This time, we put in The Proposal. Of course there were a few parts that Ally had to step out of the room for, but overall we laughed throughout the entire show.
When Abigail and Robert arrived home, we all got ready for bed. Tomorrow is going to be so exciting...THE NEW TV IS COMING!!!!!
This is Melinda and her new best friend, Simba. He has become so attached to her over the summer. He is really going to miss her, too!
Day 45
Wednesday, July 24, 2013
We woke up this morning and got Ally to volleyball practice before coming home to get ready for the day. Abigail is so excited about going to the soccer game tonight. We finished the front side of our shirts after they had dried all night. Once they were done, we put them in front of fans so that they'd be dry by tonight.
Robert and I moved our training up so that we could make the game that evening. After we finished, we came home to eat lunch. Melinda wanted to try and find some more books to read, so we made a quick stop at the library before going to piano practice. We found a few more books for her to try out and we were on our way.
We dropped the girls off at piano and made a quick run to Wal-Mart to get some things for the game before racing back to get them. Once we were home, Robert, Abigail and I started getting ready for the game. Robert and I had our 'Wondowlowskiw' shirts on and Abigail had her face painted. Melinda and Ally took lots of pictures of us before we left and Abigail was so excited. The girls went over to moms while we were gone.
We decided to be spontaneous and just show up to buy tickets. I am typically a planner....I have a schedule and I stick to it. I have, however, been trying to make a conscience effort to just 'wing it'. Well....we REALLY should have bought tickets ahead of time. There were tons of people there! It was awesome! We were only able to purchase party pass tickets, which means we would have to stand the entire game. Just one other way that Mr. Jerry Jones can increase ticket sales. We found a place where Robert and I could stand and Abigail could sit just at our feet. The game was amazing! The USA beat the Honduras team 3-1!!!
When we got home, Melinda and Ally surprised us with M&M chocolate chip cookies. Yummy!!! After standing for several hours, Robert and I were both ready for bed. We got the girls ready and then we retreated for the night as well.

Day 44
Tuesday, July 23, 2013
I took Ally to volleyball and then Robert and I headed to the gym to workout. Melinda and Abigail stayed home to get ready for the day. When we got home, Robert and I got ready for the day and started preparing things for lunch. After we picked Ally up and had lunch, we all settled down and took care of some things around the house.
Later that afternoon, Robert and Abigail started getting ready for soccer practice while Melinda, Ally, and I got ready to watch a movie. We had been waiting for several days to get the movie Safe Haven in from Netflicks. Melinda and I were so excited to get to watch it. She and I both love Nicholas Sparks. I have read all of his books and she would like to start reading them as soon as her English gets better. We loved the movie! We laughed, we cried, we laughed some more. Great movie!
When Robert and Abigail got home, she was saying that Robert told her she was 'too legit'. That lead to a couple of hours of YouTube views of music videos that Robert and I grew up to. We drifted down memory lane, singing and dancing in the living room to the sounds of Paula Abdul, Janet and Micheal Jackson, MC Hammer, and Vanilla Ice. Ah..... I love hearing the songs of my childhood.
After our impromptu dance party, the girls started getting ready for bed while Robert, Melinda and I sat in the living room talking. We had watched the USA men's team play on TV a few days before and noticed that they were going to be playing in Dallas tomorrow night. Robert and I talked and decided to take Abigail to the game. We thought to make shirts that played off the incorrect spelling of Wondolowski's jersey a game before. Melinda helped me paint our shirts and they turned out amazing.
Once we finished the shirts, we all headed our separate ways to get ready for bed. A few more days of volleyball camp before we head to San Antonio.

Robert and I got up early this morning and headed to the gym to workout. Ally was already awake and getting ready for volleyball camp. Abigail and Melinda were still sleeping when we left.
By the time we got back, everyone was awake and getting ready for the day. I made Robert and I breakfast before Melinda and I left to take Ally to camp.
When we arrived at the school, I noticed several 18-wheelers and charter buses with the name Blue Coats on them. This is a Drum and Bugle Corp band that travels around the country playing in various competitions and performances. I watched several of these groups in performances while I was in high school and I was excited to see them at our high school in order to practice before their performance.
Melinda and I walked Ally into the gym and watched as she headed down to the floor. They were in a circle hitting the ball back and forth to each other before the coach was ready to begin the camp. Once she began the camp, she introduced herself and the rest of the coaches that would be working with the girls during the week. We stayed for a few minutes before we left to come home. Melinda and Abigail watched a movie for a little bit before Robert went to pick Ally up once practice was over.
We warmed up the pork ribs from last night and had sliced bar-b-que sandwiches for lunch. After lunch was over, we cleaned up and then came to the living room to play a game while we waited for Nala's doctors appointment. Ally and Abby have been teaching Melinda to play several of the board games we have and it's been so much fun listening to them squeal with delight as they play. We played a game called RummyCube while we watched Tron. We were able to play a game or two before we had to leave for the appointment.
Nala is our two year old yellow lab. We made the decision to breed her with our one year old male lab, Simba. Nala was in heat a few weeks ago and today we took her to the vet to have a sonogram done in order to determine if she is pregnant. We were all so excited! The vet that performed the sonogram is a friend of mine, so she allowed all of us to be back there to see the sonogram screen. Nala behaved very well while having the sonogram performed. She layed very still and loved all the attention that the vet technician was giving her. The vet was able to see a few little 'sacks' but said that she was not far enough along to really tell how many there are. We will come back in a few weeks to have another sonogram done in order to determine how many puppies she will have. We are planning on selling the puppies and would like to try and get most of the pre-sold so that we don't have to scramble in order to find them good homes when they're ready to leave their mommy. Abigail has had her heart set on keeping one of the puppies, but since we got Simba, we've decided not to keep one. Now, she has convinced her Tita and Popo to keep one so that she can take care of a puppy and watch it grow up. As if we haven't just watched Nala and Simba grow up over the past two years. Oh, that silly girl!

When we got home from the vet, Robert and I rested for a little bit before heading to workout with the trainer. The girls stayed behind to get ready for dinner and some shopping after we were done. We picked them up on our way and stopped to eat at Taco Bell before heading to the outlet mall in Terrell. Ally wanted to get some new shorts for the rest of the week. Of course, I picked up a few shorts, Abigail got a new outfit, Robert got some shorts, and even Melinda found some things on the sale rack. When we got home, everyone get ready for bed. The girls were in bed and we started watching t.v. while I wrote my blog. I finally got caught up and hope to stay on track this time. Good night!

Day 42
Sunday, July 21, 2013
As usual, we all slept in and took our time getting out of bed. I made a grocery list and headed to the store while Robert went outside to start working on the yard. The girls stayed inside and watched t.v. while I was gone.
When I got back, Ally and Melinda helped put away the groceries while I started preparing lunch. I made hamburgers and french fries and got some country style pork ribs marinated for dinner.
After we ate lunch, Robert went back outside to finish the yard and I got busy posting more things on the treasure exchange. We've had several things sitting in the garage and around the house since we moved here and we are finally ready to start getting rid of them. The treasure exchange is a group on Facebook that allows people to post things for sale in and around the Forney area. I know that there are also groups in other cities and states that are similar to ours. It has been a great tool for us in both buying and selling things. We have found some really great deals and I tend to spend a lot of time scrolling through the pages to see what new treasures I might find.
Once it was time for dinner, Robert and Ally went outside to get the grill started and play some volleyball while Melinda, Abigail and I stayed inside to get the side dishes ready for the meal. I had The Hunger Games playing on the iPad while I was fixing the sides and Melinda and Abigail were both hanging out with me in the kitchen. Once everything was finished, we settled down at the table to have dinner.
After dinner, we got the girls into bed early. Ally will start volleyball camp this week and she is very excited. Robert loves to play with her and she does a pretty good job at hitting the ball back and forth with him. He took her to Wal-Mart earlier to get some knee pads and she wore them all evening in order to get accustomed to having them on.
Not too much in the exciting column today...we'll see what this week brings us. Good night!
At 9:00, we sat down to watch the USA men's soccer team play El Salvador. It was a great game! USA won 5-1 and will be playing in Dallas on Wednesday night and Robert and I are thinking of taking Abigail to the game. Melinda and Ally are not too interested in watching the game, so they may stay home with my mom and dad.

Day 41
Saturday, July 20, 2013
We woke up early this morning to start making breakfast. Robert had to make a quick trip to the grocery store to get a few things we were lacking. Once he was back, Melinda and got to work. Ally had already gotten things ready to make the biscuits, but we had to wait to put them into the oven until Robert was back from the store. I texted my mom and dad to see if they wanted to come over to have breakfast with us. Mom was out walking around the lake and dad was outside mowing the grass. Dad texted back saying that he would make it over but that mom wouldn't.
When we had everything prepared, we got the table set and sat down to enjoy breakfast. After we were done, Dad helped Robert and I move the t.v. cabinet inside so we could finally get it completely finished and set up. We were able to get everything set up except for the two main cabinet doors and the glass inset on the smaller side door. We made a few modifications to the original construction which is why we were unable to complete it. I am so excited to finally have it inside and set up.....AH! It's done!.....well, sort of.
Since we had such a large breakfast, we didn't eat lunch before leaving for Abigail's game. Her coach emailed yesterday saying he would not be at the game and needed someone to fill in as coach. Robert has a coaches card, so he volunteered to coach the team. Abigail was very excited to have her daddy as her coach again. The game went very well. We won 13-1 and Abigail had three of those goals. Robert told her that if she used some of her moves (soccer skills that she learns during practices) we would go for snow cones after the game. She used lots of her moves!!! There's nothing wrong with a little bribery. ;0)
We went to a really good snow cone place in Rockwall called Bahama Bucks. The car ride home was very quiet as everyone was enjoying their treat.
When we got home, everyone retreated to their quiet places to relax before we headed to church. Just before we left for the game, I went outside to check the mail, and guess what was waiting on the front porch....Melinda's new Kindle!!! She was so excited! It wasn't suppose to arrive until Monday, so it was such a wonderful surprise. She was able to get it plugged in before we left so that it would be charged by the time we returned home.
Each summer, the church hosts a horseshoe tournament in honor of a Knights of Columbus and long time church member who recently passed away. He loved playing horseshoes and now this tournament is named after him. They have free hot dogs, chips, drinks, snow cones, and popcorn for everyone. The tournament is open to anyone over 18, but is played by mostly the men of the parish. There are several who play every year and there is always a lot of friendly competition and between the guys. Robert and my dad both played but ended up on different teams.
The third place finishers!!!
Melinda had the opportunity to talk to one of our parish members who is from New York. She loved listening to him talk and laughed and laughed at his accent. This guy is a real character and loves to make jokes, so he played it up for Melinda and even bought her a raffle ticket for the main 50/50 drawing at the end of the evening. Robert and his partner made it to the third round before being eliminated. The girls were tired and ready to go way before he was done, so they went home with Tita. Robert and I stayed until the end before heading home.
Melinda was still up, playing with her new Kindle. She is so in love!!! It is exactly what she was wanting and I am so happy that she got it today.

Day 40
Friday, July 19, 2013
After mom and Melinda rode bikes around White Rock Lake yesterday, she mentioned going to the Dallas Arboretum this morning. We were up early in order to get there as soon as they open and before it got too hot. Well, we did get there when it opened, but it was already hot and muggy by 9:00 a.m. They are showcasing several different types of 'houses' based on various explorers and authors throughout history and the girls loved seeing how unique each house was. Mom even got into the action!
As we made our way around the arboretum, Melinda took lots of pictures and loved seeing all the beautiful flowers. We came around to two ladies who were painting faces for the children, so naturally we had to stop so the girls could get their faces painted. You're never too old to get your face painted!
After the face painting, we walked further down the hill to where the petting zoo was set up. There were several goats, a pony, bunny, and a chicken. Tita is scared to death of anything with wings, so she walked as far away from the nice, friendly little chicken as she could. After Abigail and I pet the soft bunny and chicken, we met up with Tita, Ally, and Melinda to continue walking through the park. We all took lots of pictures and stopped to rest and drink some water anytime we found a bench in the shade. The humidity was terrible!
When we made our way back to the entrance, we made a stop in the gift shop before leaving. Melinda picked up another postcard to send home. After a short walk to the car, we loaded up and headed to a local restaurant for lunch. Now, Melinda has always been amazed at how friendly our waiters and people in general are here. Our waiter at lunch was especially friendly. He was really digging Melinda! He commented on how cute her hair was and to make sure and come back to see him. I think he's got great taste! ;0)
After lunch, we headed towards some shops in Garland to look at some furniture to complete my bedroom and living room makeover. Naturally, I found an amazing set of leather furniture for the living room that would require me to donate one or both of my kidneys to afford. I texted Robert pictures of everyone lounging on the furniture in the store and all the information in order to 'secure' a future purchase. After three stores and only a small purchase for a friends birthday, we decided to call it a day.
While on the road, Tita spotted a local favorite and we just had to stop....Braums!!! We each got a nice, cold ice cream treat to enjoy on the way home. After a hot, humid day outside, it was the perfect ending to our girls day out.
When we got home, everyone found a comfortable place to rest. The rest of the afternoon and evening was pretty uneventful. The girls were showered and in bed early so that we could start a movie. We've altered our Netflix que in order to get some movies in that Melinda hasn't seen before, plus she has told us about some movies that she likes. We watched This is 40 and boy was it funny! Melinda had already seen it and said that it was really funny.
Once the movie was over, we each headed to bed. We were going to cook a big breakfast before moving my t.v. cabinet inside and getting it set up. I am so excited!!!!

Day 39
Thursday, July 18, 2013
So, it's been several days since I've written a post, so I will do my best with remembering what has happened over the past few days.
Thursday was the final day of basketball camp for the girls and they were very excited to get their camp t-shirt and new basketballs. They were up early and ready to go, but had to wait for us to finish getting ready. Robert had a break in between conference calls, so we were heading to the gym to workout after we dropped the girls off.
My mom had invited Melinda to go walking around White Rock Lake this morning, so she left the house just before we did. They loaded the bikes into the van in case they decided to ride instead of walk. Mom walks around this lake a few times each week because it is a long route that she does not have to repeat in order to get all of her miles in plus it has a gorgeous view.
Once we were back from the gym, Robert started working and I got ready and headed to the school to watch the last bit of basketball practice. Each age group had an opportunity to play on the main gym floor and I know the girls were so happy to get to do that. At the very end, they gave out awards to some of the campers and then gave everyone a certificate of participation. Abigail was awarded the most improved player for her age group! She was so excited, but was more concerned that her big sister didn't receive a special award. She really loves her sister.
Melinda and mom stopped for lunch in Mesquite, so we picked up lunch and took it home. We rested for the rest of the afternoon until it was time to take Abigail to soccer practice. Once practice was over, we came back home to have dinner. The girls got ready for bed and we relaxed into our usual spots.
Melinda was very excited because she ordered a Kindle a few days ago. She and Robert have been talking about the different types of Kindles that she could get and she finally decided on the perfect one for her. It should arrive on Monday and she can't wait.
