It's Officially Summertime!!

With the graduation of Logan from kindergarten and Kyla from 7th grade it marked the beginning of the summer 2008! We have put the kids on payroll (i know its illegal, but we pay them under the table:) They are awesome helping their dad out making smoothies and ringing people up! It really only goes on for as long as their attention span will allow - so you do the math:) But they love being involved and a little earning of their own money and seeing just how hard their family works can't hurt! When we unchain them from the business, we let them out to see the sun for a few minutes so no one will know that we are engaging in what some might call a family business, others might call child slave labor (for those of you out there with no sense of humor...I am totally joking...sort of. We took the kids to the pool for the first time and I was so excited to put Elliot in her new floaty thing and watch her love every minute of it...not so much. Water was a bit too cold and maybe just a little bit scary. But she looked darn cute hanging out at the pool with her mama! Poor little girl is so white, she glows! She is going to look forward to a life of massive sun block and umbrellas - unlike her older sister who was blessed with some native american skin. I am excited for her to get accustomed to the pool and then take on the ocean! She is loving the rice cereal that she has been eating and cannot wait to devour whatever anyone has on their plate! Like mama, like daughter. We are holding off on giving her anything else until she is six months...she is counting the days! We would also like to take a minute and send some big love to her grandma Jo (her namesake). We are all looking forward to visiting her and the other Scullys later this summer! Also want to send a shout out to all of our June bdays! Happy Birthday to my brother Ryan, Danny's Brother Mike, Danny's sisters Kelly and Laura, and my good friend Mary!

Holy 5 months old

Can you believe it? Our baby girl is 5 months old! She is growing and learning in leaps and bounds these days! She started eating some rice cereal last week which was so freaking cute! She was a pro instantaneously. I am pretty sure that every last drop went in her mouth. She is also so close to sitting up on her own. She thinks that her dad is super funny and pretty much looks at me like I am crazy when I try to make her laugh...whats up...I am hilarious! She is great at making smoothies with me while in her bjorn and grabs at anything she shouldn't have that might be in her reach. All in all, she is more and more amazing each day! She is sleeping through the night on a regular basis with a few exceptions here and there. If she happens to fall asleep before 9pm she will always wake up and say hi to make sure that she doesn't break up her routine of going to bed between 9 and 10pm... As for the first two cuties, Kyla and Logan, they are doing great and enjoying the beginning of their summer vacation! Logan decided that he wanted his hair "all gone" so he now has a very short hair cut:) Kyla went to the beach with some of her friends and had a fabulous time and came back nice and rosy. As for summer plans...I am pretty sure that it will consist of lots of work being that it is the busiest time for both businesses - parties, weddings, and any other reason that Asheville can close off the streets for festivals. Here's to hoping the heat wave ends soon!!!
