The Russo's

  Hudson wanted to do the Zoo Zoom race again this year and Gianna did it for the first time. Her party was the same day, so I stayed home to get ready for that. I borrowed pictures to share. Lined up for the race A loud bull horn was right by them and scared the kids!  They're off! Gianna crossing the finish line and Grace right before her  I was disappointed that I didn't go because all my nieces and nephew (except Kaden) ran the fun run. Leilynn even finished first out of the girls and got a trophy. This is Hudson and Gianna's times  Hudson - 14 Gianna - 30 The Ringling Brothers circus was in town the same weekend. We went to the Sunday afternoon show. Hudson went last year and was excited to go back. This was Gianna's first time and she was looking forward to it.   It was loud and Gianna had her fingers in her ears for the first half.   Hudon's favorite act was the dirt bikes...

They both went for their first dentist appointment on July 16. Gianna was scared from the start. It took us 2 hours to get there with a wreck, so her anxiety was building.  We were in the waiting area with the kids playing and Gianna fell and hit her eye on the window! She was crying and it added more fear to her visit. They let me walk them back to the play area and they were to get their teeth cleaned without me.   Hudson did fine on his own, but they came and got me for Gianna. I had to hold her down for the nurse to clean her teeth. It was terrible! At least it was over quick. They both had good teeth and no cavities. Gianna started going to children's church on July 13 and was so excited about it! She had been asking to go for a couple of months.  She got stung on the hand by a wasp at Kaden's party. It puffed up, but not a bad reaction.  Her 3 year well check went well. She did much better getting examined this time....
