We Have a Little Mermaid!!

We have been spending a lot of time at the pool this summer and to say we have enjoyed it is an understatement!  Monday and Tuesday of this week had highs of 80 and were filled with blue sky's and sunshine...that equalled pool time!!  We're also excited that Aly, our God-daughter is here with her mama spending time with us!  We have known Aly since before she was born and before their family moved to Colorado they lived three houses away from us:)  Gabriella has also turned into quite the little mermaid this summer!  The first day at the pool over Memorial Day she wouldn't let go me.  The second time she would hold hands while "swimming" with her water wings on.  The third day Taylor, an awesome friend, college nursing student and a person that Gabbie loves to pieces took her to the pool and she was swimming with her water wings, jumping in the pool and floating on her back!!  Go Taylor!!!  Gabriella was very excited to show Aly and her brothers all the new things she could do! 

Sara had an awesome guess when she thought we were heading to the beach...two more weeks and we are heading south with several of our dearest friends and their families...we took this trip two years ago and it was an incredible vacation; we even received our I-800 approval while we were there on Gabriella's birthday!  This year, our little princess is home and will be able to join in on all the fun and we are looking very forward to it!
