Our Week in Review
- We were lucky enough to have visitors this week. Mr. Giovannoni has a second family, they took him in under their wings when he was in high school, they treated him like family, they were just what he needed! I know Derik loves them with all his heart and so do I. So we were tickled pink when they asked if a few of them could spend the night at our home as they traveled from Florida to San Diego. It was so good to see them and we ENJOYED every second we had with them. It was way to short of a visit if you ask me but I'm so grateful we got to see them.
- Isaac's little face currently looks like he has Elephants Disease. He fell chasing Dylan and hit his head on the warming drawer of our oven, over the coarse of the next few days he bumped the same spot over and over so he had layers of bruising. Then the mosquito's thought he was a tasty treat one night and eat his little face alive. To top off his already bruised and miss-shaped head he tripped and fell on a coat Dylan had plopped at the bottom of the stairs and slammed his head into the corner of the banister, so now he has a very nasty goose egg/bruise that travels the entire length of his forehead and onto his cheek. Poor child looks AWFUL!
- Despite his bumps and bruises he still finds all sorts of trouble to get into. This little boy has been watching spider man cartoons with his siblings and look what he does now!
That is right he now walks up the refrigerator!
- Alivia loves our neighbors across the street, she is always sneaking over there and hanging out. She is a stay at home mom with two small children and I think Alivia is determined to make us be the best of friends. She is a very kind and friendly neighbor, which makes me happy since our neighborhood is so quiet and most everyone else keeps to themselves.
- Dylan is loving scouts and doing very well in school. He is catching on to things very quickly and testing very well. He volunteered to give a talk on Sunday which neither the Mr. and I remember until the morning of, so I sent him to primary with a copy of a friend magazine and told him to read something out of it. I've become that kind of mother lately, how sad.
- The Mr. surprised me with a box set of old classic romance movies, I love stuff like that!
- I planted a few azaleas and a hibiscus shrub in my front yard, They are doing so beautifully that I cannot help but look forward to getting out and getting more plants to grow. The walmart down here has hibiscus trees, I just have to have one of those!
- I'm keeping myself busy with little projects here and there. I was inspired by this piece I found on pinterest.
It was just the whimsical sort of thing I was looking for. So with this idea in mind I set out and made my own with what I could find at Hobby Lobby. Here is what I made.
- We are discovering the joys of home ownership (and I say that quite sarcastically) the bathroom upstairs has a leak, and it is currently ruining our kitchen ceiling. Apparently this was a problem before we bought the house, but no one bothered to fix it right. Last night the Mr. and I could actually hear the water dripping in the ceiling after the toilet was flushed. So we've shut off the water and are beginning the process of finding someone who can fix the mess! It's time like these I wish my dad or "Grandpa" Ernie was around to help us out.
