Happy Father's Day

My parents were able to come in for Father's Day and stay through Wednesday since my mom is now on Summer vacation. We had a great time playing with Callie's new wagon that my dad made for her, grilling out, playing with the bubble machine, and getting ice cream.

I wonder where she learned to do this?!?!?!?!

The Callie Wagon designed by Grampie with a food grade coating so she can gnaw away.

Pictures and video of Callie Mae

Here are a few pictures from the evening I went with Matt, Amanda, and Callie to the beach for Amanda's beach volleyball game. There is also one thrown in from their trip to the lake to visit Amanda's parents. I was not there for it, but it is too cute to not post :-)

Funny confirmation of the day

Scott filled out our "about us" section on theknot.com yesterday. One of the items he mentioned I love is reality TV. I know this statement is completely true, but it did not hit me just HOW true it was until I looked at my weekly DVR list. It consists of: The real housewives of ANY city, the bachelorette, the hills, the city, so you think you can dance, top chef, bethenny getting married, and say yes to the dress. I am officially a reality show junkie. I need some suggestions from my brother. I kittysat this weekend and watched "mysteries of the smithsonian" and was interested in watching "the universe according to Stephen Hawking" among many other educational shows that he DVR's.......... My brain is going to turn into mush! HELP!!!!!!

Go to google images and type in George Vlosich III
There was an article about him online and he has been doing etch a sketch art since he was little.
What a unique talent!!!!

Back in Virginny

I am officially back in Virginia and Scott is now a resident of the state of Indiana. I miss him like crazy! I have a new laptop that I LOVE and we skype and talk on the phone, but it doesn't compare to sitting next to each other watching TV or eating dinner across the table from one another :-(
Wedding planning is going great...... I have a dress, it looks something like this:

and a reception site, photographer, and soon will decide on a DJ. I am having so much fun planning and it's everything I always thought it would be :-)

I went to the beach last night and met up with Matt, Amanda, and Callie. Amanda had a volleyball game and Matt and I took Callie to the playground. She was interested for a while and then, as my brother said "like a baby seaturtle", she found her way to the ocean. She walked slowly through the sand while maintaining her balance on the new turf. When she got within sight of the water, she made a beeline. She splashed around with Matt for a little while, then Amanda came and joined us, took Callie's clothes off, and she splashed away in just her diaper. I will have to post pictures when I get them from off their camera. Then, while Amanda was playing, Matt put Callie up on the boardwalk and she walked along like it was a tightrope. There are fabulous pictures and video of that as well. I think she will be going to cheer for Amanda on a weekly basis!
