Four Weddings and a Funeral…
Wasn’t that a movie?
That title wouldn’t escape my mind this morning as I hurried around thinking of all we’ve had going on lately, and still to come. In June alone, we’ve had Camp Seafarer for McCanless, a week-long Funeral Director’s Convention in Myrtle Beach for Mel-the VP of the SC Funeral Director’s Association, an unexpected 4 day EEG at MUSC for Mary Clare, my sister’s wedding and now Mary Clare’s 4th birthday this weekend. Not to mention all of the “typical” events in any given summer month: weddings, birthdays, showers, celebrations and city events. McCanless also started Horseback Riding camp yesterday evening. Whew!
I took the girls to the pool yesterday to relax after a long wedding weekend and I was shocked at how McCanless has progressed with her swimming. She has been able to swim (thanks to Uncle Kurt) since she was three. She was visiting Sissy and Uncle Kurt while we were at MUSC with Mary Clare when she took off across the deep end alone and has been a little fish ever since, refusing swim lessons. “Those are for babies,” she would and still proclaims.
Yesterday, she took off across the pool freestyling and I was shocked. She said she learned at camp last week. Which she says was a blast. When we picked her up we heard all about camp for the four hour ride home and how much she loved it, and I’m seeing remnants of camp every single day. A song here, a new blessing there, and freestyling across the pool yesterday! I’m so proud of my girl!

We actually had 3 weddings in our family… Kacy Woodham, Chris Williams and Mike Haarlow (and thankfully, no funeral). I thought summer was for relaxing… you make me tired reading all you are doing:-)
