Summertime at the Knight's

It's summertime and you know what that means...time flies! How does the old saying go, 'time flies when you're having fun'?! Well, the Knight's are having a blast and the date proves it! I can't believe that it's the end of June already! Wow!!!

It's been a great month...sorry to not have kept you in the loop! Let me lasso you in on the happenings!

We returned home from Disney World after 10 straight days of rain in Florida. Yes, that's what I said...10 STRAIGHT days of rain, storms, wind, and YUCK! Florida had experienced drought months prior to our splendid arrival...alas the Knight family showed up...FLOOD! So be it! We accomplished what we set out to do and that was to have the girls in awe every day...Princesses, Mickey, Minnie, spinny rides (minus daddy) and the whole ten yards. We even experienced first class flights both down and back...uh-huh!!!! :)


We returned home to head back to work, finish up school and go back to "normal" for all of 2 weeks or so, then it was time for a Tinkerbell Party to celebrate two little girls 4th birthdays!!!! Can you believe it...4 years old!?!?!?!? AARGH! All winter the girls have been begging and pleading to go to the cottage to fishing to "catch the big one, blue one". So instead of any kind of party or shin-dig, we hauled the family up north to the family cottage at Higgins and had a beautiful weekend at the lake. We fished...caught 60 in one outing (but no blue ones...hmmmmm!), swam, played on the beach, and had a mini-Tinkerbell party with Mema and Papa as well as Great Grandma and Grandpa. The girls share Great Grandpa's birthday...just 80 years apart...so it is an extra special day! Girls were overjoyed with it being their special day...now Logan is asking if it's her birthday "tomorrow?" Haha!!!!



Moving along in June, we then headed into the summer schedule. Leah is continuing on her intense home therapy program as well as speech therapy. If you haven't been around this little girl in a while, you can't even begin to imagine the changes in her. Two words: simply amazing!!! Logan and I are working hard at playing hard while Leah is working with her home teachers. We've gotten in a few good rounds of Barbies and pretend store!!!! Oh yeah!!!

And just this past weekend Josh and I took a step in the direction of growing up...we let the girls out of our sights overnight...2 nights in fact!!! Mema and Papa took the girls back up north for a few days and nights while Josh whisked me away to an Anniversary Weekend in Chicago! It was great!!!! 90 minute massage in a fancy salon, yummy food, shopping on the strip! Then a 7 hour trip back to see my girls!!!! (Oh yeah...and my parents too! Tehe!!!)


Now we are on a mission to let summer ride!!! Let the good times roll with swimming in the little pool that we have for the girls, play in the sand, eat Popsicles and have picnics! So, give us a call or just stop by!!!! It's summertime!!!!
