Alyssa's recital, NBA playoff watch party with the Wrights, Susan G Komen 5K, playdate with coworker's kids, Genevieve's high school graduation party, Father's day in Louisiana, backyard summer fun with friends and family and pre Fourth of July Celebration. Wow, What a fun filled month!!
We started the month with Alyssa's very first dance recital. She was soo stinking cute. She was really excited to see all of her guest in the audience. There was her favorite uncle, Montrell, the Daniel family from Houston and of course the Wright family ( who postponed their Florida trip by one day to see her dance). She absolutely LOVED all the attention. I think her favorite part was receiving flowers and wearing makeup.
Our next big event was Father's Day in Louisiana. I really never get a chance to spend time with my father when I go home. He is such a busy guy. So several months ago I told him that I wanted him to pencil me into his busy life. I told him that I would come home on Father's day and cook for him. Don't worry guys, Mom helped me a LOT with the meal. He really seemed to have enjoyed himself. I was so proud of him. He gave us about five hours of quality time. We lucked out because he had Father's day off from the prison ministry, but he did make hospital rounds later that evening.
While in Louisiana, I did visit my Poppa Sam (grandfather) in the hospital. His health has declined since my last visit a couple of months ago. It is very hard for me to see my Poppa confined to a bed. So I am asking for prayers for him and my family. Thanks.
Our next big family fun day was my city's pre- fourth of July celebration. It was soo much fun. Our friends and family usually park at our house and walk to the city park for a free concert and fireworks. Everyone had a good time. Unfortunately, Alyssa and I had to leave early. After the 2nd puking episode I thought I should be a good mother and take her home. Kudos to my hubby for recording the fireworks show on his cell phone. I would have never thought of doing that. It really made Alyssa's day. He really is a thoughtful guy. :-)
Enjoy our June pictures and thanks for taking the time for reading our family blog. See ya in July!!!
