Sweet Willow with Granny!

August 2017-It was amazing to take Willow to the same classroom I remember taking Lyla to in the summer of 2013! August 2017 was a very good month.
1st-I picked up Lyla at Gymnastics & we ate at La Paz in Mt. Laurel afterwards. 2nd-I met Angela & Willow at Chipotle. Angela went to UAB & Willow “freaked out” when she left. So we went “home” to Jimbo’s to eat. She didn’t eat much but enjoyed eating a popsickle on the bench outside with Oliver before going home for a nap. I left after Angela & Lyla got home. 3rd-got Lyla from gymnastics & drove in hard rain to piano lesson. Fortunately the rain cleared & we had time to go to Edgar’s bakery before class. She was thrilled her father was home when we got there! 7th-Angela, Lyla & Willow came over to visit & play in the basement. It was fun. 10th-To Angela’s early am. Lyla went to MBHS teacher workday with her Dad who reported she was very sweet & helpful. I kept Willow & she was sweet too. We went to the Library & park & she had a long nap. After Lyla came home we both went to my house for the night. Annie the dog went too & she was very restless & kept me awake! No more overnights with Annie! 11th-Lyla & I met Angela & Willow and friends at the splash pad on Sicard Hollow Road. After playing for awhile I took Willow to her house. She cried as we left but quickly stopped. After eating she had a nap & when she woke up I took her to HMS to meet her parents & Lyla & her teachers. 12th-Cousin Josh Carson (Mallory’s husband) graduated from UAB today. Afterwards, Angela, Brock & girls met us & the Garvers at Mallory’s house for lunch. Later I went to Angela’s to stay while they went out to celebrate their 8th Anniversary (on the 8th day of 8th month!). Willow went to bed easily but Lyla stayed up & slept with me but went to her parents bed during the night. 13th-Helped with Willow & Lyla while Brock was up & Angela slept late. I had a fun time playing hide & seek with Lyla. She was able to find some great hiding places! I stayed to keep the girls while the parents went to HMS Orientation then headed home. 16th-first school day I was with the girls! After 6:30 am arrival I got the girls to school before 8:00 am. It was very different to have both girls at school. Saturday I got Lyla for a day of gymnastics but found since she hadn’t pre-registered & the class was full she couldn’t stay. She wasn’t disappointed. We “hung out” at the gymnastics place a while then went to Steel City Pops then went to my house to watch movies & spend the night. Lyla really slept well which was nice. 20th-Lyla & I did “major shopping” at CVS on the way to her house. About noon Lyla, Angela & Brock left for Tennessee for the wonderful experience of a total eclipse of the sun! I stayed with Willow. She went to sleep easily & slept well; so did I. 21st-Willow easy to get up & get to school. I went to the park to experience a 92.6% eclipse of the sun. It was pretty awesome. Willow did not go outside. Hopefully she’ll be able to go with her family to Texas April 8,2024 for the next total eclipse visible in America! After school it was too hot at the park & no one else was there so we went home. After supper and bath & reading MANY “Baby Bug” books, Willow went to sleep. I went home after the rest of her family came home. 22nd-To Angela’s early am. After taking Lyla to school Willow & I went to the park where it was shady & other children were there & Willow had fun until time to go to pediatrician for assessment of her “Hand, foot & mouth disease”. She was very sweet at Dr. Dugan’s office (new pediatrician in the group) & on CVS trip after. It took a lot of Baby Bug books before she slept! Brock got Lyla at school & I stayed & played with Willow until they got home, Then I went home. Friday, 25th-Got girls up. They were sweet & had time to play outside before school. At 2:00 pm we went to park until Brock came & I went home. 28th-Early am to Angela’s. Girls sweet before school. Willow cried just a little when I dropped her off in her class. We had a good time at the park after school. Brock got Willow at the park. Lyla & I stayed later. I spent the night. Lyla came to my bed during the night. 29th-We had a good morning & school drop off. After school we had a short time at the park because Lyla had Dance Lessons. After she & I got back from dance, Brock put Willow to bed & met Angela after work for a night out. Lyla slept with me & was very sweet. I went home after the girls went to school & returned early am the 31st. The girls were sweet in the am & good at the park. Brock picked up Willow & I took Lyla to Piano then took her home & I left as August ended.
