SUMMER!!!

What do you do when you do when your friend comes to visit??? Make stuffed animals.
Photobucket
This is Till,
Photobucket
he is my lyricpet Photobucketand that is Rammstein's song Seeman (Sea man you pervert) on his tummy. I just wish I could insert a little music thingy so when you poke him in the eye he sings. :( Someday, someday. I'm actually up here in Ellijay this week working and have been hooked up with a "Villa" (hottub!) of my own while we are here. I'm up here by myself and am supposed to be studying for my adjuster exam (the book is bigger than a dictionary!) but instead I am taking my newly taught semi sewing skills (Thank you Dusti) Photobucketand making pillowcases, handbags and lyricpets. Am I ready for the exam? No. BUT...I have seen a brand new baby deer out of the 50 i've seen in this valley and I saw a mom falcon teaching her babies to fly! The downside of this place is that the entire ga population of flies seem to reside here.
The first few days my parents and kids were here and then they picked up my niece whom I was glad to see.
She got to go to the pool for the first time and my kids always love having her around.
Wow, in just two short weeks Viva finally learned to swim. I don't have any pictures of her doing so unfortunately, I will take some though and post at another time. She is not completely proficient at swimming on the water but now that she FINALLY started swimming under the water she is a little dart and will now even come up for a breath and go back under. Ophelia is getting to be a stronger swimmer every season. She can fetch rings from the bottom for over an hour, I couldn't tire her out and believe me, I was trying. Gavin is getting much better also and will do flips and such. He still looks like a gasping fish when he comes up from swimming under the water but he is MUCH stronger now. Other than that we have been to Tanglewood Farms and we also went to see the Sound of Music at the Towne Lake Arts Center which was awesome. They were sooo good and I was not expecting it to be that professional. Even the littlest kids could sing. Lizel was especially good. We've swam our heads off and lots of visiting. They are in Fla and Toccoa right now and for the next couple of weeks in Fla which is good because I am working! Business has grown enormously and I can concentrate on that for a second. I can't wait to have them back though so we can have some more summer fun. Tons of stuff planned.
