People have always told me that events happen in threes....they are not kidding. Papa(my father) had a heart cath done on Monday. Also, on Monday Grannie Payne had back surgery. So that morning was crazy trying to get to the hospital in time. Great Aunt Kay volunteered to stay with both girls..this was huge. However, getting everything together takes time. Anyway, everything went great. The girls were very well behaved and did not overwhelm Kay. Melonee was very happy and even wanted to go home with Kay. Dottie is still in chill mode.
Due to a death in the family we decided to stay home on Tuesday. However, the funeral was in Winchester so we went to Lovey's and Papa's Tuesday night. The girls love seeing their grandparents. This is also Aunt Alice and Uncle Ryan's days off but they had to work so we only got to see them a couple of hours. Melonee loves playing with her kitchen set and playing in the beauty shop while Lovey works. Papa's eyes just light up when Melonee talks to him. He also loves holding Dottie. He is convinced that he has taught Dottie to coo. It's actually pretty funny to watch them together.
Wednesday Melonee and Dottie got to see both sides of the family...for the exception of Pops...he was in Honduras for a mission trip. The girls get lots of attention. Ryan took Melonee to Wal-Mart and came back with a kite. She loves being outside! After the funeral, Ryan, Melonee, Lovey, and Papa went outside. The kite flying was touch and go...Melonee likes to run around the yard. Dottie and I stayed inside out of the wind. Aunt Alice and Uncle Ryan came up and visited a while and played with Melonee.
On Friday, we usually go to story time but Nana was busy on Friday. Well, I told Melonee that we would go somewhere so we went to see Daddy. We went to pick him up at Sunset and we went in and got to meet the principal Ms. Josie Jacobs. She is really great with children!!! Dottie melted right into her hands. Then we were off on our first lunch out as a family. We went to Oscars in Nolensville. Dottie did great and Melonee did good as well. Melonee eats great for her age. I can only hope that Dottie will eat well too.
We always enjoy the weekends!! Ryan helps out tremendously. Friday night he took Melonee back to Wal-Mart and came back with a purple bean bag. He loves finding new things for the girls. Saturday, Ryan took Melonee outside while he cleaned the vehicles. She love to act like she is driving. Dottie is still sleeping a lot, but when she is awake she is happy and smiling and enjoying life. I just enjoy seeing her smile and coo.
