Busy Bs!



Getting a little Silly!



Based on the date of this post, you can probably guess that the Merrimans have been a little busy this Summer :) It seems this month has flown by so fast...soon enough we'll be breaking out the rakes and leaf bags. Mallory is doing great and continues to do well with her 3-day-a-week school schedule. She seems to be warming up more and more to her classmates and even managed to give one of the boys a "neck hug" on her way out the door the other day.

Unfortunately, we did have another ER trip at the beginning of the month for the same condition she had back in April. All is good now and she is on a maintenance nebulizer treatment that she has to take twice a day. Even though she is still too young for an official diagnosis, the doctors are 99.9% sure she has asthma. Let's hope she outgrows it :(

I hate this bed!!

The month of August also brought us a nice surprise visit from Aunt Duffy. She was able to spend a few days during the work week with Mallory...with a little assistance from Mema and Grandma :) Mallory loved teaching Duffy some of her songs and even learned some new things as well.

Other than that, we have been trying to enjoy as much of the outdoors as we can. We took Mallory to the Crossings one day and she had a great time running around the open field and chasing bubbles. For some reason she wanted to hang out right by the restrooms. Thankfully there was a nice landscaped area in front of the building so I was able to get a few nice shots of her checking out the flowers.



Hmmm....what do we have here?
 

Picking flowers....

 

Chasing bubbles!

Not sure what she is doing here

Still love Minnie....

Unfortunately, Fall is really right around the corner and September is shaping up to be another busy month. We have some Labor Day house cleaning on the schedule (ducts and carpets), Mallory begins her next level up in school, my 20 year high school reunion, a Color Me Rad 5k for Michol, my first Half Marathon, and a photo shoot for Mallory (our friend Andrea will be handling the shoot).  I hope to be more diligent with my posts since there is always lots to share! Till next time....
