Gearing Up for Goodbyes, Vacation, and Back to School

Weird that our Summer break is ending in just a few weeks...can't believe it is almost August.  In the next couple of weeks, Millie will have to say goodbye to her best friends, Cayden and Grey.  Cayden will be going back to Brazil and Grey is moving to Memphis.  I'm sad for Mills and also for myself...love those two mommas.  It's going to be interesting raising kids here in Walmart land where vendors and employees are constantly coming and going.  In the next month, there are three families who work for vendors in our neighborhood that are also moving away.  I'm learning that it is going to be difficult to get attached.  Surely we can find some friends who are here for the long haul...

Anyhoo, Summer finally arrived and we had a couple of weeks of stifling temps and humidity.  This prompted Syd to actually get in the pool with Mills for the first time.  It was pretty funny to watch.  They play so well together (most of the time).    Here is some video of what is pretty much business as usual around here: circles and dancing


Sunday, we visited the Gentry zoo again...which Millie now refers to as "the farm".
Millie loves that place, and Syd was very excited to be able to walk around and explore this time.
Syd had no fear with the animals, which made me a bit nervous.  The goat got a few kisses.
She's in a very independent stage right now, so I'm sure our flight to Denver in two weeks is going to be a fight.  She's going to be hate being forced to sit on my lap for two hours!  Worth it to see these guys though...
Syd makes this pucker face all day, everyday.  It's both her concentration face and her way of talking. It's adorable.  Here is a super cute video with her new peekaboo bear (Thanks Kelly!) peekaboo, Syd!
Millie's choice of accessories has been entertaining...glasses & necklace
rain boots with undies
 and a green tutu
After we get back from Denver, the girls immediately start school.  I'm looking forward to getting back into the school routine, and I think Millie has missed her friends. ;)
