Alot has happened in the past year.
We finished her room in October and she has only fallen out of bed once, which was just a few weeks ago. She adjusted to the new room very well. We are really happy with the way it has turned out.
We took her to the Columbus zoo this year. It was a nice get away for Mom & Dad. I was not as happy with the columbus zoo. There did not seem to be as many animals. When we were at the Cleveland zoo, there were animals to see everywhere. Angela enjoyed the pool at the Hotel and Daddy & I just enjoyed being out of Canton. I am going to look into going to the Pittsburg zoo next summer. I think we only be able to do the zoo vacation one more time.
Dad was let go in early December from his job, so Daddy and Angela have been hanging out since then. I know the dogs are happy that someone is home most of the day with them. Peanut has become a true memeber of the family now. She keeps Buddy on his toes and loves to play with him. Honey will even play with her once in a while.
We have Angela in Karate classes one day a week and just finished up a swimming class and will be starting another class on Mondays from 6:15-7:00. She seems to love both. As much as she loves the water, we really need to get her swimming without her bathing suit with the floats built in.
She starts Kindergarden this Friday, August 28th. I can't believe she is starting her graade school years. I know she is looking forward to going back to see her friends and Mrs France, her teacher, who she has loved from the beginning. I know Daddy is looking forward to a few hours to do his thing while she is at school.
The Stark County Fair is starts next Tuesday, so I am sure we will be spending one evening there. I know she loved it last year and has already asked if we can go again. Last year she wanted to ride all the "big" rides, so it will be interesting if she will this year.
Angela will be 5 this year and has asked to have a party that her friends can come to, so we have scheduled a "Chucky Cheese" birthday party for her, which she has asked for also. We will be able to do it on her acutual birthday. I am going to take a 1/2 day vacation. She will then be going to the Cleveland Zoo with Grandma Pam, Grandma Barb and cousin Jacey on Friday, the day after her birthday. I know she is excited to go.
We don't see Grandma Barb must anymore. Her job keeps her very busy. I know we do miss her. Angela got to spend the night with her a few weeks ago. She was so happy to go. I know Angela misses her so much.
We did have some excitement a few weeks ago and I know Daddy and I will never forget it. Daddy woke up on about 4:00am on Sunday August 16th and saw a strange orange glow through the blinds. He looked out the window and there was a car engolfed in flames accross the street. We didn't hear anything because that was a night that we had the air conditioners running because it had been so hot that weekend. We probably will nevver know what happened, but one of those experiences that we will never forget.
Angela went on vacation with Grandma Pam, Aunt Becky and cousin Jacey the second week of June and was gone for about 1-1/2 weeks. Daddy and I took advantage of her being gone and tore down the plaster walls and celling in the upstairs ahllway. We then hung dry wall and it looks so much better. Daddy even added a second light in the hall. We now have a light on each end. It sure makes it easier to see into the medicine cabnet at the end of the hall.
Scot, Angela's brother moved back home this weekend and we are all glad to have him home again He has been working at Kentucky Fried Chicken for a little while now and seems to like it.
Well it is time for me to close, but please look at the pictures, Daddy has done a better job of keeping those updated then I have with updates.
