Back To The Real World

Man getting back into real life is hard to do. We were really excited to be back with our girls however. Melinda and Michael brought them to the airport to pick us up and then we were up until midnight opening presents. One of the presents was Poi balls. Sommer has picked this right up. Sommer stayed home from school the next day and Mom and Erin came over to visit. Friday night we went for a family date. We saw Over the Hedge. It was okay. Sommer liked it but it didn't really hold Liv's attention. Saturday the yard work began. We bought shrubs galore. Monday we bought flowers galore... and then we planted and planted. Our yard is looking much better now. I finally have lilacs, peonies and even some roses. I brought back a lovely souvenier from Hawaii on my legs. I thought they were bug bites, over 50 I might add. They have been driving me absolutely crazy with itchiness. Carol from the office heard about my plight and let me know that it actually could be a fungus. She got something just like it after shaving her legs and swimming in the ocean. So I'm going to the doctor tomorrow before I scratch all of the skin off my legs. We stopped by the office today to have Carol take a look at my legs. Livy ended up getting her teeth cleaned by the dentist and having a little filling done. It was her first time and she did great. She proceeded to hand out stickers to the patients, instructing them to put the stickers on their bodies, and saying it's ok I work here. She is a goose. We had the missionaries over for dinner. Good times. Then we had some trampoline time. Liv wacked the neighbor girl in the head with a sprinkler and then it was bed time.
