Back To Real Life

This has been a whirlwind weekend! We flew into Atlanta and discovered our car wouldn't start. Once the courtesy car from the airport got us started again, we were able to finally get home and see the girls!!! We woke Bella up when we got home, so we could get hugs and kisses, but we let Evelyn sleep until the morning. 

It was so good to hug Bella and smell her hair and kiss her!!! I love the way my girls smell! On the downside of reality, Bella hasn't stopped talking since we got home! She probably talked the entire time we were gone, too, but Steve and I struggled not to bang our heads against the wall during our first 24 hours. 

Dad did a TON around the house! We have a list of house projects we're slowly working on, and dad knocked a big chunk out of those! It was incredible!

We spent the rest of the weekend wrapping up some of the smaller things on the list. I still have two suitcases to unpack, but at least Mel's bathroom is painted and done with a new mirror!

One of the things we had to finish was the mirror in our bathroom. Dad built a large, wooden frame, and Steve clamped it to the mirror itself to allow the hardcore glue to dry. 

We were cleaning up the kitchen last night when we heard a huge crash. Luckily, the girls were already in bed, because the entire mirror had pulled off the wall and shattered on the bathroom floor! 


It was insane! I've never had this kind of a mess! After vacuuming, sweep, washing, and sweeping some more, we finally got the bathroom floor clear of glass! 

This week is back to reality! We're going with the Sapps tonight to see Santa at Chick-fil-A, and we have a dinner party on Thursday! On Sunday, my parents will be here to start our Christmas celebrations! Whew!
