June has flown by - unbelievable. There were so many activities I can't even remember. My Mac was in the shop for one week in June, so that was part of my problem with not posting. But otherwise, eh... too busy to actually sit and write. So here's a recap:
Last weekend we camped with the J's in Lincoln Rock - near Wenatchee. Where it is usually very hot (90's) we were in the 70's with tons of wind. We made it work, got to make s'mores, and got out on the boat a bit. Emma brought neighbor J along:
Both Kristy and I overlooked the fact that it was Father's Day weekend (oops!). So we ran into town and found some funky doo-rags at Fred Meyer for a joke - they actually came in handy during the spurts of sun for our balding husbands :)
Emma's class had an end of year party at Lake Tapps at a classmate's $2.4 million dollar home (yep, on the market for that price... I told them I'd take 10% of it please and I could easily live out on the dock). It was a very fun day - here's Emma and her favorite boy "friend" from class (looks like they're almost holding hands - which she squealed to me - but they really aren't!)
A friend and I threw a baby shower for friend Ellen, and this was my little lovely that day - isn't she just growing up? She's such a beauty.
Finally, Emma's new soccer coach had her playing mostly Defender during practices, and I walked out with him to the car and our conversation went something like this: "So I see Emma's been playing Defender a lot, you know she's only played Forward until now, right?"
"Yes. She is absolutely going to be developed as a Defender."
"Seriously? I don't think that's 'her' " (a bit of sarcastic parent voice going on)
"Well, she is. (he appropriately knows how to put me in my place - I like him :)) She has the height, and more importantly, she's calm."
"EMMA?!? C-A-L-M ?? You're kidding..."
"No, she doesn't get rattled by the ball, she remains calm and that's what I need".
"Okay, you're the Coach, I'm going to trust you on this one."
I bring you Exhibits A & B:
That's my girl. She ain't letting ANYONE past her. She is kicking butt at Defender.
