We drove to VA and arrived at Grandma Gail and Grampa Tom's house on June 12th. Aunt Marcy, Uncle Stuart, Lily and Jack and Daisy were all there to welcome us to the East Coast. We went over to Aunt Marcy & Uncle Stuart's house on Tuesday to pick Lily up from the bus stop, play with all of Lily and Jack's toys and have some dinner. Wednesday, Casey and I, went to visit Jessica and her kids, Hunter, Jake and baby Maddie. Thursday, Casey and I drove to Aunt Marcy's to drop Frisco off for a couple weeks. We went for a nice long walk/strider ride through the park, to lunch and then to Lily's school to pick her up on her last day. We then picked Stan up and headed down to Roanoke to pick Gramma Lois up and head to the Beach for a week.
We spent a week in Emerald Isle, NC with Stan's family: Gramma Lois, Aunt Lisa, cousins Ashlynne, Morganne & Max, Great Aunt Linda, Great Uncle Marvin, Auntie Cousin Blair and cousin Grayson. It was a fun filled week! The cousins got along great! Casey was a little nervous about the ocean at first, but after a few days of getting used to the water crashing into shore then heading out, she started to get the hang of it. She was jumping over the waves (on the shore) and we even got her and Max out in the deep water swimming on their own. Casey loved the sand. Had no problem rolling in it and getting all kinds of sandy.
As for Casey...she is quite the entertainer. She sings constantly, making up her own songs a lot. This week she sang the days of the week song over and over and over. Her other song is "I'm a princess" where she just keeps saying this over and over and then will throw in a few lines like, "and you're not a princess" or "you're a prince and I'm a princess." When she's not singing, she's talking. She is picking up all kinds of sayings and new words and so far the only letter she has trouble with is Y. She calls yogurt, logurt and yellow, lellow. We're not too worried, yet.
Casey wants to wish Happy Belated Birthdays to Gramma Lois (June 13) and Morganne (June 25) and a Happy Birthday to Max (June 30). Also, Happy 4th of July to everyone! Have fun and be safe!
