This morning at 4:30 am I got up to see off very good friends of ours, the Noel's. They are headed to see family before leaving for England for 14 months. Their little one, Jagger, and Isaiah are about 3 weeks apart. They were with us for 2 weeks and today has been really hard... Isaiah had a bad morning. We took lunch to Dan, which helped. Then Isaiah and I both took a 2.5 hour nap. Isaiah slept in his new big-boy bed!! Then, tonight I made leftovers and set the table for 4 adults and 2 kids... It was hard to take those extra plates off the table. What was even harder was DOING THE DISHES!! Andrea and Brian have kept the kitchen clean all week. Andrea would wash and Brian would unload.
These last few weeks we've gone to the aquarium, completed swimming lessons, soaked in our pool here a few times, and spent some really great time with the Noels. (Are you seeing a pattern?) We've also braved 110 degree days and enjoyed the comforts of our beautiful air conditioner.
A funny story to close: We drove through a Starbucks last week, on a rather hot day. I ordered a medium late anticipating putting it on ice when I got home. The server asked... "Do you want it hot?" Yes. "Do you know it's 110 with the heat index." Um... yeah. I'll be ok. Thanks! It was sweet but a little funny.
