Here I am on the 31st wondering - "What happened to July?!?!?" - I thought Blogging was going to save me! It is very helpful but it seems a few notable things happened that I failed to keep up with so I'll just run them all together here and try to do better next month. I still need a few photos on some events but I better post what I can before my memory fails me too!
Alyssa took her first swim lessons:
This is her with her teacher doing a nice back float - she can now swim without "swimmies" but still prefers to keep her face as dry as possible.
Here's a shot of Alyssa in Morganton at Martha's Park where we had a nice 4th of July with Eya and Poppy. The "mountain water" was a little colder than she was used to!
This is probably a once in a lifetime shot where Alyssa actually wanted us to dress like "twins." We have on denim dresses, yellow crocs and gold watches. We did get a few looks while we were out for lunch - another good reason to live in a tourist town. Of course, I'd do just about anything for this girl!
We "found" Bebe' - this is Alyssa's most favorite Care Bear that disappeared about two years ago. She has so many we never thought it was a big deal and she really became more attached to her two main blankies. This summer when she transitioned up to the Older Preschool Class she would start crying at night when she said her prayers and would ask God to help us find Bebe'. At that point, we decided we had to look a little harder :) Now Bebe' has been going lots of places with us because he missed out on the past two years. I guess they all have to grow up one day but for now I love the security item thing!

Finally, Alyssa took a Karate Camp at her school - I'm still waiting on photos but she loved it and plans to continue in the fall. It was great for her Attention and Focus - one area we needed to work on, according to her teachers.
I guess that wraps up July it was a good one a busy one and a hot one - Let's hope August is even better!
