Summer was filled with lots of activities from OT to DC! Will and Lena continued with OT, Will started Speech, Hope started horseback riding lessons, and they were tutored by Ms. Emily Owen. Natchi took them swimming at Wynlakes and almost every weekend was spent at the Lake. They also spent a lot of Sunday afternoons at Legacy Lakes. Will continued with guitar and Hope with art lessons. Daddy took Will and Hope to DC and they learned a lot and got to see a lot of neat things. They even got to ride on the underground train that is just for Congress and other leaders of our government! They got to visit a senator's office and sit at his desk!
We also got to visit the Coon Family farm and meet their miniature horses (Hope and Natchi were in love). Btw, we found out that Natchi would extend her au pair position for 6 more months - woohoo!
Hope and Will went to Zoo camp, Lena went to Cooking with Favorite Books camp, Will and Lena went to Abrakadoodle, and Hope took extra swimming lessons to refine her breast stroke and free style. Will also went to two soccer camps! Whew! It was busy!
At the end of the summer, we said good-bye to our beloved Gigi. She went to be with Jesus on Aug. 22 after suffering from two broken hips. Even in her last days of sever pain, she still expressed thanks for all of her blessings. She was 96 and a wonderful example of a Godly woman. We will miss her so much, but I am so glad Will, Hope and Lena got to know her!
