FIRST GOOD NEWS FROM THE DOCTOR ON CA

Welcome July with a warm sunny morning , I'm sure not the last of these to come. My morning started early with the arrival of g-son and RL while their mom went to work.
I got chores done and we all had breakfast, the kids had waffles and I had oatmeal and blueberries.
I gathered the weekly laundry and put away the remainder of last weeks laundry before daughter picked me up to head over to the pediatrician.  Today is mainly IR's 2 year check-up but the doctor wants to check out CA and weigh her.
Of course IR checked out great and is still near the top of the growth chart for her age in both weight and height.
Then we got the best news of the last month in that CA has gained a whopping 7 ounces in the last 6 days. The doctor said this was the first time she was pleased with her progress.
We also had Addie with us and she was hungry so we decided to stop at Chick-f-la drive through and get lunch for everyone and take it to our house to eat.
RL was taking an early nap when we go here so the rest of us ate and then while RL ate her chicken nuggets and fries we had for her daughter fed CA.
We took all the kids to Pelican Snowballs to celebrate the good report for both doctors today.

Daughter took her girls home for naps after we ate our snowballs and we brought RL and g-son here with us.

I got some laundry started and then #1 son who got off work early today after finishing a job and deciding it was way too hot to start another one picked up his kids to go home and get in their pool to cool off.  July started out at 88 degrees about 4 degrees above normal.

I did more laundry until daughter called and wanted to know if we wanted to go out to the walking path with her and son-in-love.

We all loaded up in her van and met Kristen there to pick up Addie.

The trail was mostly shaded so it wasn't too hot and we walked about 2 miles.

It didn't take IR long to want to ride on the stroller with CA.

After our walk we came home to get chores done.

I wish we could do this walking everyday because I know it would make me feel better. I felt more energized tonight .

Hubbie gleaned the garden finding more cucumbers and squash. He grilled some zucchini tonight for our supper and they were really good.

Our July 1 garden pics as the sun goes down this evening.....

 With the potatoes planted in the middle of the garden I have to make 2 separate pics on each side of the potatoes.

We are getting plenty of cucumbers and zucchini and a few yellow squash and the Basil is doing really well. The green beans are probably going to be ready for the first picking next week for Dilly bean making.

I got all the laundry finished late tonight but at least it's done. We also changed out the bed clothes to make some additional laundry this week.

Thankful for the blessings of this day and especially for the great news on both the grand girls doctor appointments.

God Bless and Good Night
