Summer is HERE!!!

This is the 3rd summer break I've had since I started this blog! Kinda neat to look back on the summers before and see what we did and when we did it!

This summer is by far the busyiest summer I've had in a really really long time. Having my sweet Millie girl means lots of people want to get their hands on her and we have to share. This of course means traveling to do so.

We spent all last week visiting Clint's family in Tifton. We had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with Nana and Papa. While there Millie had her first real choking experience at a resturant with Nana and I. It was SO BAD...so bad that I had to do the infant Himlic on my sweet baby. I have NEVER been so scared. Thank the Lord everything ended up okay, but I am watching her like a hawk even more. The day after her choking incident, Clint got in a truck/trailer accident while hauling a load of 2,000+ cantelopes. Other than messing up the truck and spilling about 200 cantelopes and slowing down progress...all was well. I was still so shaken about Millie choking the day before that I freaked out a little more than necessary about this accident. Oh well...He is my husband and the thought of him going through something so scary (the wreck happened on a bridge) makes me so sad! Other than those two events...we had a blast! Millie even swam for the first time and really liked the pool!

We are leaving tonight for WR and will pick up to Nashville tomorrow morning! I am beyond excited to spend time with my people for about 4 days! I just cannot wait. Dreading the 9 hour trip with an 11 month old, but hoping she does well.

11 MONTHS! Holy cow! We are in the middle of planning her 1st birthday party and I am trying to not be "that" mom that over does it. It is hard, but I think I am managing well. I never realized the cost that went into planning a birthday party. Makes me thankful that Millie was born in the summer as we always seem to have a little extra cash during that time. We are having a cookout at our house for JUST family....but that will be about 30 people we think. Oh.My! We will have a blast I am sure!

BEACH TRIP!!! Clint, Millie and I are going (next weekend) to Fernandina Beach to get family beach pictures made. We are thrilled for the 3 day get away with JUST us 3! We are now just trying to find a hotel that we can afford and that is decent.

Tata for now!
Until next time,
Sam
