We've had a not so exciting last week, I'm happy to say. The week before last consisted of gearing up for the wrath of Ike, watching weather reports, getting some last minute supplies, moving outside stuff inside(pot plants, trampoline, my wreath, etc), and waiting. This last week was a long one. Ryan worked a TON(ask him how happy I was about that, ha ha), and the girls and I stayed inside and didn't go many places because we wanted to conserve the gas in my car as much as possible. The lines to get it were ridiculous, I didn't want any part of that. This week things are really back to normal in our neck of the woods, thank goodness. Unfortunately my sister Brandy and her family still don't have power and they're not expected to get it back until next week. I feel really bad for her!
We did have the missionaries from our church over for dinner this past Friday night. They were a welcomed sight after the long week we had experienced before. We always love having them in our home, they bring with them such a great spirit, and they always appreciate the heck out of the food we feed them! Ryan really "did it up" for them. We had steak, sausage, salmon, salad, baked potatoes, and Addyson made her very first batch of brownies(the pic of her shows how much she enjoyed the fruits of her labor) for them. Delaney didn't know what to think of them, all she really sees are her Mom and Dad, sister and the cats normally. She sat in her Exersaucer and studied them for a while(anyone that knows Delaney knows she is a real deep thinker;). We laughed so hard at her staring at them so I had to get my camera; the moment I snapped the picture and she caught a glimpse of the flash she started smiling, silly girl. Can you tell that she's used to the camera in her face all of the time!?!? She's got 8 teeth now, do you think we've been having fun with the whole teething thing? I think we've been keeping Motrin in business these last 7 months!
Saturday Ryan decided to tackle the cleaning out and organizing of the garage, it was a long process, and he still has a bit left to do. He also brought home a new TV and mounted it in the garage, the ultimate haven for any male. He's now got his weights, punching bag, and speed bag in the garage, and a TV to watch football on while he's working out. I told him there should be no more football games watched inside the house anymore, except the Texans of course. I took some pics of the newly updated garage, keep in mind there's still plenty to do in there, but it looks much better than it did. Way to go Ryan!
Addyson got to go to Gymnastics this AM and before we left I got a really cute pic of her and her Dad, one I'll be framing for sure.
Oh and, Happy Autumn! I love the first day of Fall each year...
