Millie is really walking a lot now

Millie has been really walking a lot lately. It's so cute to see her teeter-tottering around and trying to keep her balance.

On Saturday, she helped Jacade and I in the garden and backyard while we spread pinestraw and wheat straw everywhere. She was very good too. She just climbed all over the backyard, tried to play in the birdbath, and got in her pool (with no water in it). After a couple of hours, she was, needless to say, filthy! But enjoyed every minute of it.

And our yard looks so nice now - so many veggies! We have corn, red bell peppers, tomatoes, lots and lots and lots of zucchini and squash, okra and we have three watermelons so far. They're not ready to be picked yet, but it won't be long. And since Jacade fertilizes with Miracle Gro every 14 days, our zucchini have been HUGE!

We went out to eat with our neighbors to a restaurant just below Zebulon - Pierre Sullivan. It was great. And Millie ate chicken, sweet potatoes, french fries, catfish, and coleslaw. She had no baby food for dinner. I was impressed. She was good too!

On Sunday, she and I, and our friends, Gordon, Nielsa and their son, Alan, went to church. It was Gordon and Nielsa's first time and they seemed to really enjoy it. And Millie was anxious to go into the nursery, which was a relief from weeks past, where she cried when I handed her over. She was ready to play! She and I went home and she had lunch. Then we drove to Jonesboro, with Debbie too and had lunch with Grandma Sara (her great-grandmother) at Olive Garden. Millie ate lots of the bread - she couldn't resist it either! And Jacade sneaked her some chocolate cheesecake - she couldn't resist that either! Then we came home and got her ready for bed.

So, all in all, it was a good weekend. I am hopefully going to take next week off - vacation time - to get some work done around the house. Plus, my boss, Marshall, is quiting - his last day is July 30, so it will be hard for me to take a lot of time off. We are going to work around the house M-Th and hopefully go to Savannah to see our friends, Kevin and Cassie, for the weekend.
