This Past Week

This will be short but I wanted to get my pictures up. This past week we finished school, and celebrated a little by making ice cream sundaes and the kids had lots of free time. Tess also did dinner again for us on Wednesday night – tacos. She loves making them and we all love that she does. It was a nice calm week. I think we all enjoyed it and we were glad to slow down a little.

This week we have a few appointments and Tess has oral surgery. Tess’s surgery is on Tuesday morning and I think she is a little nervous. She has to have two teeth removed. She has two teeth growing in under her two front permanent teeth and the surgeon said they could damage the nerves of the teeth already there. So, he will go in and remove the extra teeth. Hopefully, it will be easy and she won’t feel too bad after surgery.

Also, Bethany and Tess went to Kings Dominion amusement park this past week and had a lot of fun riding and eating.

And last of all little Shep had his first birthday! He is so adorable and it is hard to believe how big he is now. He had a great day and looked so sweet.

A Few Pictures From Today

A few of my grandkids were here today and I think all the kids had fun playing together. Joey had shoulder surgery so I had his kids and he did well and is home now. Meredith’s kids were here also and when she came to get hers she actually planted two rose bushes for me – she’s really good at getting things done quickly in the yard. She also mulched around one of my trees and pulled some dead branches out. Now I feel motivated to get out and do a little more in the yard. I have two more roses and I have to figure out where to plant them. Of course, the blackberries we so carefully planted and were very excited to see blooms on are now just sticks. The deer found them and ate every leaf and bloom. They do this to almost everything I plant. Does not make me happy and I’m not sure how to stop it.

The pictures below – I guess this is how you feel when you want to play with water guns and squirt people, but you do NOT want them to squirt you back!

My first hydrangea – there are just a few on each bush. They are always so pretty for a few weeks and then they get black spot. I see it already on one of the bushes and I know within a month all of them will have it no matter how many times I spray. Hoping everyone has a nice weekend.
