The past week or so...

We have had quite an interesting week or so around here. The men of the house (Joe and Poppa) are both laid up so Nana, especially, has been busy taking care of the invalids. Thankfully Joe gets his stitches out on Monday and Poppa gets to see a new back pain Dr. on Monday. Hopefully they will be new men after that! We also had fun having Gigi and Papa here from Minnesota for a retirement party...so Annabelle got lots of hugs and kisses! Annabelle has adjusted pretty well to daddy not being able to do much. At first she didn't really know how to respond; it was almost like she was mad at him or scared of him! But she has certainly softened up a lot. She takes good care of him, giving him lots of snuggles, ice packs, and she knows to get him his tray to eat on. She has suddenly developed and "owie" on her left knee too, and she needs it wrapped and iced with her Hello Kitty and Cars ice packs!!! Well here are a few pics to update you on the week!

We have a driveway, front walk way and part of a sidewalk. Inside they have mudded and taped everything!

This is the view from our front/side porch. The building you see across the field is our church! Talk about saving gas money!

Annabelle has gotten in the morning routine of eating her mini wheats and reading the paper with Nana. She really likes the funnies!

Playing a tune on my harmonica!

Joe's cousin, Shelley, just has baby number 2! Adam weighs just about 6 lbs. Annabelle just adored him!

"Look mama! Little fingers!" Annabelle loved playing with Adam's fingers and kissing him.

Joe and Annabelle proping up their knees and icing them!

"Look Maggie, I have a bandage just like daddy!"

Annabelle loves taking Miles on walks around the house. He is such a good sport!
