glasses arrived

today was Liesl's first day with glasses. it was a bear getting her into the fitting for them but once I got them on her at home she kept them on. she wore them most of the time not even noticing them. boy those things are super thick. I cant even see out of them. the three of us girls visited lakeside mall to spend a gift card for the Disney store where she wanted a Pocahontas babydoll. She was very good in the mall shopping for some time and exploring the store.We went to the boat this weekend to watch the fireworks. they were amazingly spectacular. I have not seen anything that nice since Disney. Liesl has been talking about going for the 4th for a month. she wanted it the same as last year; making sure aunt Melisa and uncle Scott came and the piazza was important to her. she ate all her piazza and she gave quite a few ohhhs and ahhhs and a whoo hooooo! On the actual 4th we visited a friend's house to bbq. we couldn't believe the weather! 2 hail storms within a couple hours! unbelievable. Liesl had a great time playing wit he kids and doing very little swimming. we huddled under the tent avoiding the hail stones. Liesl was so cute. she didn't want to leave. the very next day our air conditioning went out.....it would have to in the most hot stretch of the summer. luckily Jim was able to find a friend to fix it for him that had a heating and cooling business (Friday night for free). needless to say we three girls hung out in the pool when we could and cooled down in the bath frequently. going on vacation with mom in grand Morais soon. should be tons of fun. Liesl is looking forward to it. hope I can get these girls PACKED!
