North for the 4th '11 & Catching UP

Boy does time fly when you are not looking. Sorry for the lack of updates, but no news is good news in this case. We've been very busy around here this summer. We all have been doing good. The heat is the killer for me so I try to stay cool as possible. Danny has been doing great (knock on wood) he didn't even require oxygen at night the last two nites. I think he might have finally gotten over the allergies (only 4months, grrr).

Wednesday I through a surprise baby shower for my girl friend, Connie ~what a fun time that was. I actually pulled it off :) I made more cake pops n truffles. (truffles are mint, peanut butter n regular)

I think we're going to name our "business" Lil Sweet Temptations. That sounds appropriate and YUMMY!

Avrianna had a mishap with her bike and flip flops. Tearing the tip of her toe, YUCK!

and bending her rim. How does that happen.....really? Cheap!!!!

Thursday Avrianna performed her Play (a remix of Wizard of OZ) that she has been working on in her summer school drama. What a hot day for that, but the all did great.
