July 2007

The Fourth of July is s a fun event in the Somerset neighborhood. We have a parade where the kids' wagons and bikes are decorated and we end at the clubhouse for ice cream. A big group of us watched some wonderful fireworks at a nearby neighborhood golf course following a dinner gathering at our friends' house.

The second week of July we enjoyed another family vacation, this time with Mike's vacation at Kentucky Lake. We rented a spacious lake house and boat and enjoyed a relaxing weekend together. Collin was thrilled to have the chance to fish with Grandpa, and surprisingly he caught more fish than anyone else that weekend (with a little assistance). This was the first time we met baby Meg and it was fun to watch Collin & Sophie play well together.

The Cardinals were in town to playing the Braves where Mike attended every game. His cousin Joe flew down for the occasion, so they went to several games together, we got to sit in Beck's great seats one night, and we took Collin to another game.

The end of July is Mary Kay's annual seminar in Dallas, so I made my second annual jam-packed visit in July. It is so amazing to see the big picture of Mary Kay and how many women's lives have been changed by this incredible opportunity. The number of women who have achieved phenomenal success just by helping other women feel important and encouraging others to be successful is astounding. Laura & I were both newly pregnant (1 month apart) so it was fun to be able to share that together. While we were in Dallas we went to Gatti Town and visited the Dallas World Acquarium.

Collin & I flew directly from Dallas to St. Louis with my parents for my Grandma Gehbauer's 90th birthday and met Mike as he drove up for the weekend. We celebrated her birthday at an Italian restaurant in St. Louis. I was great that the entire family could be together for this special event.
