Time is flying by!!!!

It has been a very busy couple of weeks for the Miller Family filled with tons of fun summer activities. Saturday, the 25th Jeremy had an outing that he went to for our friend Natalie's Dad so Corinne and I went to Lancaster to hang with Grandma and Grandpa plus my brother and sister ended up coming over too!

On Sunday, the 26th we went to the Jazz and Rib Fest a Columbus tradition that we have never been to together as a couple and that Jeremy and I have not been to individually in a while. We had a good time showing Corinne around downtown (she has never really been down there) and eating some good ribs and fries. I was surprised when Corinne took a bite of a rib and said "um that's good" because she does not typically eat meat.

Monday we had our play date with Tiffany and Jack at there house and had a great time playing outside in the pool and sprinkler. Corinne finally rain through the sprinkler and loved it. Tiffany's sister, Tabatha was also there with her two boys, Caiden and Cameron, who Corinne loves. It is so fun now that the kids remember each other and Corinne knows where we are going when I say we are going to Jack's house.

Tuesday we hosted our girl's playgroup at our house and went outside for some time in the sand and water table, plus the pool was out. It was nice because Becki was able to bring Alexandra so her Mommy could get some rest and she could play with her friends. The girls enjoyed homemade orange Popsicles together and had a good time.

Wednesday was the only day we stayed close to come and got some stuff done around the house. I finally got to the basement and got things sorted out so I can start washing some things for baby Lydia who will be here before we know it. I did over do it a little though and have to remember that I am carrying a lot of extra weight in the front right now.

Thursday we went to Lancaster for Rising Park Day with my friend Karey and her niece Lauren who comes in from North Carolina twice a year to spend time with her Aunt Karey. We met my sister at my Mom and Dad's and all went tot the park together. Tiffany and Jack were also there for a little while with Jack's grandpa. There were not as many activities as I had hoped but the kids had lots of fun on the playground, as well as looked at turtles and snakes and even got tattoos.

Corinne loved the frogs and turtles

They also loved the teeter toter

Friday we went to the zoo with Karey, Lauren, Carrie and Dominic and had a really good time even though it was kind of warm by the end of the day. The kids finally got to see the baby elephant and loved it. Corinne also got to pet lots of animals like a snack, legless lizard, alligator and a walabe (sp?) . We got home and everyone was tired but we still went to City BBQ for some yummy dinner.

She had to pet the turtle again!

Saturday we spent the morning getting the house straighten up as usually and then headed to Lancaster for some time with Grandma and Grandpa. Jeremy and I enjoyed a rare night out at the Lancaster Festival to see LeeAnn Womack while my parents kept Corinne. It was very nice to spend some time as a couple, especially before baby #2 comes. Corinne as usually had trouble going to sleep at Grandma and Grandpa's so Grandma was still holding her when we got there at 11:45. I am really hoping she gets over this when we have to be gone in the hospital for a couple of days. It was very late when we got home but Corinne never surprises me and she was up for part of the car ride home at 12:30 at night.

Sunday we went to the Ohio State Fair for some very yummy food and to see all the animals. Corinne really liked the animals but I don't think she was that impressed with all the people. She really liked watching the kids on the rides but given that she will not even ride the horse at Meijer's we were not even going to try her on a ride. Corinne has been very clingy to me lately and by the middle of the day when she had had enough with the fair she wanted Mommy and no one else to carry her. So Mommy got to carry her from one end of the fairgrounds to the car. Daddy tried many times to take her but she screamed every time. I think she is becoming more aware everyday that life is about to change for her.

Finally to this week....

Monday Grandma, Carrie, and Dominic came up to help me get some closets straighten out and see want needs to be washed for baby. Mom stayed with the napping duo while Carrie and I ran some errands. There is still a lot to get for the new baby and I am hoping to find some of them at yard sales this weekend.

Tuesday we had a play date at Jerri and Carissa's. It was kind of rainy out so we had to stay inside. The girls played really well together and the Mom's got to have adult conversations which is always nice.

Yesterday we ran errands for a lot of the morning including getting my oil changed in the car. Corinne was very good on the whole trip and gave me very little trouble. She is getting much more portable again and it is very nice!

Today we plan to hit a few yard sales and then spend the afternoon getting caught up around the house. Corinne got up at 5:30 today so it could be interesting. Later this afternoon we are going to meet Daddy for an event that he has to work for the humane society and I thought that Corinne might like to see all the animals too!
