The month started a little dramatic!
We were going to Woodward to see Mimi, Papa, Sarah & John, play at the new water park & go to the family reunion.
The girls were SO excited about the water park!! We finally got there, changed into our swimsuits, & were going to put our stuff in a locker. Scott said, "Watch out, those metal benches are sharp!" Well, Lydia went to sit down, but fell in between the two benches & when she turned to get up, she gashed her eyebrow open, above her right eye. I freaked out!! I was ready to run to the car & leave everyone else behind!! Scott grabbed Lydia & off we went to the urgent care (for the second time in Woodward in 7 months).
She had to have three stitches!! She said "I thought this was going to be a good day!!" She asked Scott, "Am I going to die?"
She has a scar on her eyebrow, but she didn't die! She just couldn't go swimming for 5 days & we started swimming lessons!
The girls took swimming lessons for the first time this summer. They took lessons together at the lady's house just down the street & she goes to our church. They only had 4 lessons, they really enjoyed it. We need to practice more & they love to practice swimming!
The girls were also busy with VBS & the Fire Safety School. They went to "safety school" at the fire station with the Churchwell girls & the Cox kids. We went a few weeks later to the "Safety Village Challenge" to see if they remembered all they learned. They did great & Caraline even got her picture in the Daily Oklahoman!
June 24th was Scott & my 11th wedding anniversary. We went to the State Capitol, a special dinner at The Melting Pot & a movie. We ate SO much at the Melting Pot!! It was a very special place to eat!
That next day, we got a dog!!! Yes, Scott said he wanted a Beagle one day, the next day, a lady I used to teach with says "I have two puppies left! Bassett Hound/Beagle mix, let me know if anyone is interested!" I told Scott & he wanted to see pictures of the dogs. She sent us pictures & the next day, we met her to pick one. Her name is Maggie & she is 3 months old. She is a cute & sweet little puppy! Everyone who seeing her, says how cute she is, pets her, even takes her picture!! She is so lovable....a mess, but lovable!
Then Scott starting having breathing issues. We went to the ER twice in three days. (Sunday at the Edmond Medical & Tuesday at Mercy) He went to an ENT on Wednesday (after MANY phone calls & a drive to Yukon) & got on an anitbiotic. Then he was off work for over a week. Monday was July 4th, & he missed the parade & fireworks.;( On Tuesday, he went to another ENT who told him is sounded like acid reflux. He goes to the dr's about every third day. He was having problems at work with stress & so he was prescribed an anxeity med that made he feel strange. Then he got on Zanax & is more relaxed. We are still dealing with this strange issue, he is going to a specialist very soon.
June 30th, Lydia was eating her favorite food, chunk cheese & her bottom left tooth fell out!! She was so excited, she screamed, "My tooth came out!!" The Tooth Fairy came that night, & answered a note that Lydia left for her. The Tooth Fairy also left 2 gold dollars!! That first tooth is a special one!
