Playing Catch-Up

We have now had our kitchen treated for those nasty roaches four times. They are persistent little buggers. I wouldn't see them for a day or two, and then I would see one on the floor, or in my dishwasher or sink. YUCK!!! They make my skin crawl just thinking about them. But they seem to be gone now. I haven't seen one for three weeks and no more follow-up appointments. I am very slowly putting my kitchen back together. VERY slowly. I have to vacuum out the cabinet, wipe it down with lysol water, and then I can put things back in the cabinet. May you never be infested with german roaches.



Now to play catch up:

We had John's parents and Grandpa stay with us over the Fourth of July weekend. It was so much fun for the kids. They got to go on walks with their grandpa, play hide and seek, stay up late, eat junk, and be spoiled rotten.
Ann, Bruce, and Sam had to all stay in Breanna's room on air mattresses, while Breanna slept in Brett's room. It worked out all right...I think. That was the only way to keep them cool and out of traffic's way.
We also had Kaylee's baby blessing that Sunday. But amongst all the fun and family, Brett was sick. He had horrible intestinal issues and had to go on the BRATT diet. He was not a happy camper. But we finally got him over it and haven't had a problem since.



During the past month or so, we have experienced:

-my birthday
-Sean leaving for Utah
-James coming home
-my dad going thru surgery
-our kitchen being emptied
-our kitchen going through small renovations
-"Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" (which Kaylee kept me from half of)
-many other advetures

July felt like the longest month ever, and yet I can't figure out where August has already gone.
