July has already been a fun month--and there's more excitement to come! Alicia is due with her first baby on July 25. We had a baby shower, and being the great hostess I am, I neglected to take pictures of the food or the presents. But here are some of the notable attendees from our side of the family:
Aunt Brenda and Maddie
Brandy, Aunt Gayle, and Natalie
Grandma Hodges
Aunt Stana, new baby Logan, and Morgan
Alicia and best friend, Jena
Jena's mom, Julie
After the partying was done, we spent the next two days helping Alicia clean her apartment. She worked hard! She and Erik have moved in to a two bedroom non-air conditioned apartment closer to campus. Can it really take 20 hours to clean a one-bedroom apartment? The answer is--pretty close.
Alan did an awesome job with the walls.
Most of the time Alicia was working hard.
Alicia's "glam gloves" helped her do excellent work.
Anyway, they're all moved out and the new apartment is ready for baby Oliver.
Another joy of July is that we are about to adopt Lacey, this cute Brittany Spaniel that has stolen our hearts.
Raspberries are another joy.
And, of course, the beautiful July flowers.
Our garden path on the north side of the house.
The coneflowers are gorgeous this year.
The daisies are always pretty.
Next to grandchildren (and the rest of the family), these are some of the joys of July.
