We had a great weekend – the weather was outstanding and we did a lot of relaxing! It was so nice to not have anywhere to be most of the weekend so we took advantage of it and spent a lot of time on the water. Mallory continues to LOVE the lake and the boat and even giggled when some water sprayed up into her face.
Rick & I had a wedding to go to on Saturday so Mallory spent the late afternoon/evening with our friends. They have a big chocolate lab and a silver lab – who are Cooper’s best friends in the whole world (we sometimes trick Cooper into getting into the car by asking “want to go see CJ?”). We weren’t planning on sending Cooper with Mallory, figuring she’d be enough, but Saturday morning I got a text message from CJ & Fenway’s mom’s phone, and it was Fenway asking Cooper what time he was coming over. So with that invitation, Coops joined Mallory at Melloland and Rick & I headed off to the wedding reception. This was the first time someone other than my sister, mom or dad watched her so I was very happy to hear that she was great for them. I got a series of picture updates throughout the evening on my phone. The last picture below was at 9:07p, with the message “What if she won’t sleep? That okay?”.
I am so excited about the holiday week – it would be my dream to work this schedule every week! Mallory has a couple of fun stars & stripes outfits ready to show off for the fireworks. Hope the weather holds up and we can enjoy the outdoors :-)
hey what do you put her in water safety wise for the lake? i went to cabelas today and bought a life jacket for him, but i am wondering if there is anything else i could do – it seems pretty bulky like he won’t like being in it, but i want him to be as safe as possible in the water – i also went to coolibar.com or uvsunwear.com (i already forgot) and bought him a one piece “rashguard” like surfers wear for our lake vacation in august!
