To celebrate our 3rd year wedding anniversary, Josh and I went to Dallas for a night. It was our first extended time away from Becca since she came home from the NICU. We missed Becca, but it was good to spend some time together without any other responsibilities. Meridith and the Lutz family watched Becca during our time away, and Becca did great! I didn’t do too good at winning any games, but I’ve already won the best prize – Josh!
We were in the pool for about 4 hours for the 4th of July. The pictures on the left show Becca jumping in. We decided the skip the 4th of July fireworks this year. Becca is to the point where she is afraid of loud noises, and we decided it would be better to skip the trauma this year and give her a better experience next year. I’ll soon be starting firework enjoyment lessons….step 1: hide and be really quiet –> then jump up and yell BOOM! really loudly (that’s a free step; if you want the other steps to helping your children enjoy fireworks, please send $10 to our address).
Tuesday, we had some special visitors; Jeremy McMorris and Ben Fetteroff stopped by on their drive to CA. We enjoyed our visit with them.
Our summer is going great. Becca and I are enjoying pools, parks, and playing. Josh continues to analyze the data he collected on his trip to NC.
My nephew and I LOVE Mancola. For five, he has so much strategy and pretty much beats me every time. So glad to hear you were able to get away for your anniversary. Loved all of the pictures!
Summer fun – so thankful you are free this summer, Amy, and able to enjoy more time playing. 🙂 The pool times look like so much fun – and a refreshing break from the Arlington heat!!! Also glad you (Josh and Amy) were able to get away to celebrate your anniversary – and your reunion after the 12 day separation – and thankful that Becca did so well. Jeremy and Ben look like they enjoyed the little break on their cross-country trip. Thanks for sharing your lives through pictures. Love y’all!
So glad you and Josh were able to get away for your anniversary! Sounds like you are having a wonderful summer – full of pool and park fun for the whole family. Becca is so precious and her smile is beautiful – just like yours, Amy. Also happy for you and Becca to visit your family in PA. I’m sure you all had a great time. So sorry Josh couldn’t be there, too but it was great that you could go while he was away. I’m sure it made the time go by faster. Thanks for all your blog posts.
Love you all and praying for you!
