This Labor Day, September 2nd 2019, was a fun one for you!  Yesterday (Sunday) we had Avi and Alec come over to play and go swimming.  Harris came too!  Then when it was time to leave, Alec really wanted you to come to his house, so you ended up having a sleepover at their house.  Tara brought all of you back to our house around 10am Today (Monday), and we all went swimming again.  And then, guess what…  You are back at their house right now while I’m typing this for another sleepover.  Normally I would not approve a sleepover on a school night, however, you were extremely diligent about getting  your homework done yesterday, and you have been *such* a good girl lately, so a special treat was in order 🙂

On Saturday, August 24th, 2019, we went indoor skydiving!  Well, YOU went indoor skydiving 🙂 I got to watch you fly, which was equally as fun.

You have told me for a long time that one of your only dreams and wishes is that you can fly.  Unfortunately I can’t make that happen for you, so I figured this was the next best thing that I could make happen for you!  You were a little scared at first, but very brave and went through the entire process without me in the room.  I could see you the entire time, and vice versa.  You had so much fun that we bought a bunch of extra passes and are going back on Sunday, September 8th!

You started Second grade on Tuesday, August 13th 2019.  Your teacher this year is Mrs. Walder.  You were somewhat excited to go back (I think two amazing vacations in one summer made it hard to go back to reality 🙂 ) and once you knew you had Avi, Alex, Aiden, and Reagan D. in your class you were happy 🙂

Right after the 1st grade school year ended, Mommy wanted to take you to Taiwan for 5 weeks!  She planned everything out, and I took you to the airport on Sunday, July 10th.  I was so sad to have to be away from you for so long, or thinking about being away from you for so long 🙁   BUT, you were so sweet and you called me *every single day!*  You have no idea how happy that made me 🙂  After 2 weeks of sitting around the house by myself, so I booked a plane ticket to come meet you and Mommy in Taiwan.  I stayed for 8 days.  We went on a couple of tours with Alan, very beautiful places.  Ate a bunch of delicious food, and of course walked and walked in that ridiculously hot, humid weather.

The hotel had a swimming pool on top of the roof, which we took advantage of on several occasions.  Overall we had fun. Lots of downtime, but it was fun.  You decided you wanted to leave early and come home with me instead of stay the entire 5 weeks, so you and I left and Mommy stayed for another 8-9 days.

We went to our timeshare in Cabo on July 28th  for 1 week.  This was the longest we have ever stayed, and we even got an upgraded room!  A presidential suite, almost right on the beach and immediately next to the pool.  You had such a good time!  Although by the end of the trip you were completely done with swimming!  LOL.   We did go night swimming, ate a lot of really good foods, and overall had a great family trip.
