June Happenings

June was filled with a lot of lazy days, swimming, and Mexican food. Amelia was just finishing up preschool at the Y so I would go and workout while she did that, then we would head to Six Flags for the day.

Amelia decided to superman her way out of the crib, so she got a black eye. Poor girl. And yes, she is still in a crib. No plans to take her out. She actually LOVES her crib and asked us if she can sleep in it until she is big like us. Sure why not. 

Amelia finished up her preschool at the Y. It wasn't a true preschool, but more like an intro to preschool. They had a little lesson, play time, and always did a craft. She loved it and loved being with all her friends. We did other classes too with a lot of the same kids: gymnastics, sports, and swimming.

 Since we moved from our town home in Lakemoor, to a new house in Crystal Lake, we lost our community pool. We decided that getting a Six Flags pass would be a good way to pass the time during the summer and give us access to a great pool. The water park is amazing and we have so much fun. Amelia loves sitting on my lap in tub on the lazy river. It gives me quite the ab workout having to half way sit up and paddle out of the path of waterfalls.

We moved into a much bigger place than we have lived in. Ever. So we had a lot of projects to do to make it feel more like home and less barren. Amelia helped us paint my old dresser. It was so nice to paint in a garage rather on the fire escape!We're moving up, people!

We went to see a movie in the park by the lake. Before the mosquitoes ruined the evenings. 

Splash pads were a weekly occurrence.

We also perfected our pie making skills. Anthony sold me out for all of his work parties, pot lucks, and visitors. I am a little pie-d out. 

We have a beach just down the street from us and we love it. Since we live in Crystal Lake, it is free to us and we definitely took advantage of that. 

She is getting better and better at Hide N Seek.

Our littler mexican joint. Frequented much too often.

We went to Pirate's Cove with some of Amelia's favorite people. 

June was a great month. I am really enjoying all the time I get to spend with Amelia. I swear she gets smarter and smarter every day and I am grateful I get to stay home with her and watch it happen.
