Father's Day
Well since mother's day, we've all been extremly busy. Cindy and Chris took their house off the market so they could do some updating. I've been watching the kids every day to keep them out of the way and Ray, Micki and Johnny have been helping with the renovations. Crystal got to help last Sunday morning before she had to head back to Baltimore. The outside of the house is gorgeous. They put up vinyl siding and painted the shutters and other trip. It makes such a difference! They have several more things to do before they put it back on the market, if they do! They really like the siding.
This past weekend was father's day and again Crystal wasn't supposed to come in. I knew she was planning to but this time the surprise was on Ray. She rode in with Rose and Christina and got here at 8:30 AM Saturday morning. Cindy and Micki left at 5:30 to drive to Beckley to pick up Crystal.
Ray was planning to help our neighbor move some furniture so when he heard the car doors he thought it was Greg getting ready to leave so he rushes out the front door. No Greg but he seen Cindy and Micki getting our of Micki's van and lo and behold----here comes Crystal to. He was very pleasantly surprised!
We had a great day on Saturday. The girls planned a cookout and swim party. Guess who cooked for two days? LOL We have a small pool on the driveway so Ray and all the kids spent the day doing what they do best in the summer. Enjoying the sun and water. I pretty much stayed inside and enjoyed some peace and quite, read and even took a nap. I went outside several times but I don't swim and the heat and sun get to me really fast. I never could stand to be in the sun for long. I did enjoy having everyone here and I loved watching the kids swim.
Maddie has always been part fish and now Isaac is. No fear of the water in those two. Noah takes quite a while to warm up to the water but when he does, he won't get out. Sophia loves it and goes as wild as a year old can when she's swimming. I tried to get some pictures of them but my camera card is full and the computer wouldn't let me download them. Guess I'll have the girls help me figure out what happened. Maybe I can get pictures the next time.
I keep Maddie and Noah on a regular basis while Micki and Johnny work. Maddie is growing up so fast and is a wonderful eight year old, polite, good, cheerful and lots of fun and company. It's great fun to watch Noah growing up every day. His only problem is his temper but I think he's starting to handle that better. He's sure a sweet loving little guy. Now with Sophia and Isaac I see them often but don't keep them much since Cindy is a stay at home mom now. I do watch them a couple hours a week while she runs errands. So while they were working on the house, I got to keep them every day along with Maddie and Noah. Man, did I get tired but I did enjoy the kids. Isaac is such a big boy now. He usually plays good with Noah until one or both of them get tired and then they fight some. That hasn't been so bad lately either. Sophia is now walking and is adorable just toddling around and being sweet. She gets into a lot but usually if you tell her no no she will get out of it. Of course if you speak a little sharp, she has a total meltdown. Kinda like Noah there. Really tender hearted.
Yesterday Ray and I took Crystal to Fayetteville to meet her friends so they could go back to Md. We skipped church so Crystal could visit with her granny a little while and I had been wanting to see how mother is doing. She's getting so frail but I guess that happens at 84 years old. We enjoyed the visit and mother was excited seeing us. We met Crystal'a friends at 3:00 and then Ray and I headed back home. A busy weekend but a good weekend.
Until next time, this is mama Norma saying so long!!
