Just got back from several days at the bay. What fun! Many of my cousins were there, as well as good friends, so we had lots of opportunities to get together and talk about what we've been up to.
Virgie hobbled up and down the stairs, wearing the boot that is holding her ankle in place. She broke her tibia during a walk at the bay almost two weeks ago. She was lucky enough that it didn't need to be in a cast, so she is able to walk (carefully and slowly) in her boot. She loves to be in the water at the bay, so on two different occasions she was trundled to the beach on either a golf cart or a Bad Boy. Once there and either in a chair or on a mat, she could remove the boot and enjoy herself. She crawled into the bay on hands and knees and then made her way out to where it was slightly deeper (2 to 3 feet deep). The sun was hot, but the water was very nice, not warm as bathwater this time, cool and very comfortable. This is our favorite way to visit, bobbing with the waves...sometimes feeling a little nibble from something in the water.
Carolyn brought Kate and Carlee and stayed with me Friday and Saturday. The girls love to come to the bay. Brent stayed home with Jax again, so it was just us girls at our bayhouse. Carlee spends much of her time changing clothes. It will be interesting to see her reaction to wearing the plain clothes that are required at St. Philips Preschool. She will be in Pre-K 3. I don't know if they are ready for her! Kate will be in kindergarten there and is an old hand. She is excited that she has a special dress to wear every Friday when they go to mass. They start a week from tomorrow. It's hard to believe that summer is almost over for them.
