A girl and her Pap

We had an intresting week. The good news is that school is out-hooray! The drama this week has been our leaking pipe from the street to our house. This has earned us the title "The biggest Jerks in Nashville". At least it appears that way. You see, after the flood, our city was on mandatory water conservation since one of the two water plants was completely out of use. We took this very seriously. We conserved as much as we possibly could, and we jeered at the reports on the news of people who were stockpiling water and going to the car wash.

Then we got our water bill from this month, and it was 5 times the usual amount!! Apparently, we had a leak, and I'm sure the mayor's office had us tagged as a household who was stockpiling water in our tub, pots, pans, etc. Anyway, we had the plumber come out to give us an estimate-which was outrageous-so Bubby ended up digging a ditch through our front yard on Monday to cut the cost of the plumber's bill. The good part about all of this is that my dad came to help with the ditch, and we ended up getting to enjoy some bonus Pap time! See, every cloud does have a silver lining!

Here's a sweet video of Bonnie and Pap taking a walk:

Wild Woman

Well, it has been too long since I have blogged. Gee, if only I had a couple months off from work so I could just get caught up on some things. Oh wait! That is going to happen in just a week and a half-yipee!! I am officially counting down the days until the end of another school year, and getting so excited about the upcoming summer. We've been so busy lately. Even though Nashville has had the rainiest month on record and we have been a little bummed because our house hasn't sold, neither has stopped us from getting out and enjoying this wonderful time of year.

So here's what we've been up to lately:
taking walks
lifting weights

playing alot!



hanging with Sam, and attempting to have fun in his baby pool, but Bonnie wasn't a fan. Oh well, she had fun hanging out at the table with him


Mommy and Daddy went to Steeplechase and had a great time with our friends




We had our friends over for a cookout, and had some fun playtime.





Bonnie picked some flowers for Sam




Sam picked some flowers for Bonnie





Will got to hang out with Aunt Erin on the couch. He was very happy about it!




Silly girl, just playing-what she loves best!





Get ready-she is so big! Doesn't she look so big in this picture?

Ta-da!

Miss Bonnie has been practicing her walking the past few days. She will now take a few steps with some prompting. She's getting pretty good, as you can see, she can even turn around! She just doesn't choose to walk as much as she crawls!

On another note, we are thankful to let you know that we are all doing fine after the flood. We didn't suffer any damage, and as a matter of fact we never even lost power. One of our windows leaked a little, which puts us in the lucky category. So many Nashvillians are suffering heavy losses of property. Please continue to keep our city in your prayers. It will be a long road to get back on our feet.
