july update

here are some photos from july. we didn't take very many, mostly 'cause we didn't do much but shop for wedding stuff. enjoy!

i thought this was going to be the extent of my first 4th of july.....

 but we did end up going to the country club for dinner and.....

 fireworks! it was a fun night and the fireworks were great! thanks mimi and papa!

 mid-july, lilyanna and i went to ottawa to a friend's wedding. it was so nice to see her after so long.

 

 we stayed with a high-school friend, mel. it was also great to see her!

 then came time to go to nova scotia! yea!!! this is lilyanna watching her favorite video during one of our layovers. she is such a great flyer.....and it's a good thing! she has flown a lot in her short life. i was just adding it up and her flights thus far in her life are: a trip to canada and back to korea at christmastime (3 planes each way!); during that trip we took a side trip to milwaukee and back to nova scotia (2 planes each way); a trip to taiwan in may; leaving korea to mississippi end of june (3 planes again!); trip to ottawa mid-july (2 planes each way); trip to nova scotia (again, 3 planes each way!)!!! that's a total of 6 trips and 25 planes! i hope i'm instilling in lilyanna the love of travel and not dread of yet another flight!

she is a very good traveller and is to be commended for no meltdowns on any of those 25 plane rides! a bit of crying on a few----but no meltdowns! thank you, thank you, thank you, my baby!
