Galveston with Granny

We went to Galveston. Just the girls!
We went to the beach and Starbucks and my favorite- LaKing's the old fashion soda shop.
We also did some finishing touches on Gianna's dedication gown. It was fun to be with 3 generations of Proulx women. Gianna is enjoying the beach more and more every time.
This time it was warm enough to actually put her in the water!

GRANNY!!!!

Granny (my mom) is here for a visit!!!! She came all the way from Alaska. I'll try to post often so Grandpa Miller can keep up on the action while he has to stay back in Alaska. Granny has not seen Gianna since she was 2 weeks old! I've been looking forward to it for a while. There is something about seeing your momma! I know Gianna is beginning to feel the same way. She has started some separation anxiety- but not too much.

Granny had to share her holding time with the cousins. She is helping Kaity hold Gianna.

I put up more pics in the VBS file too.

VBSed

Well as promised the pictures are up of what the church looks like now that we converted it to Ranch! It was amazing all week to see what people donated.
We asked for and got:
Saddles
Old buckets
Horses- Stick and giant stuffed ones
old rocking chairs
horse shoes
fences
cow heads
boots and hats
and most amazing
Stuffed armadillos
The whole church helped out. We had each Sunday school class designated to a hallway. We actually got most of it all done in 4 hours.

A couple of things to note when you look at the pics:
We cut a fence section in half to make the wagon- designed by me
The barn with the horse head on it actually has wood grain painted on it- I did it so I want you to know what you are looking at!
The town is made from cardboard and we had a blast designing it.
The brown fabric is supposed to be the Hole for the Prairie dogs and you are supposed to be underground in the hallway.



But the greatest thing of all was that we did it all on Fathers day!
And John got to celebrate- this time as a Daddy not just a Daddy to be.

VBS-ing

This week I have been super busy. I've been up at the church helping out with decorations for VBS. We have been making a church turn into an old west town and ranch through butcher paper and cardboard. I am due to go back up to the church tonight and help finish those million little things before Sunday when we put it all up for VBS next week.
I promise to put up pictures of what we created as well as our girl!

Who loves me
