I know I should blog daily so I don't have to write a catch-up post

If only life were so easy that I had the time, and energy, to write a post daily. lol  Last Thursday was rather quiet. Jesse had an orthodontist appointment at the same time Chloe had a  Battle of the Books meeting. Other than those two things being at the same time, life was quiet.

Friday afternoon we headed to Edgefield. It was John's Dad's birthday. Korean custom is you visit the grave to leave gifts. We actually went down early to spend some time with Oma. She is doing well, but not happy with her new diet. Change is difficult for all of us. After the cemetery, we stopped off to have dinner at one of our old favorite restaurants. It has changed owners, and the menu is now (in my opinion) hard to read but the food is as good as ever.

Saturday was the baby shower. I know the girls enjoyed seeing Brittany and of course eating some awesome cake!

The Teddy bear Jesse made for baby Liam.

Sunday was Family Day at the lake for John's work. I have to be honest; all four of us thought it was going to be horrible. We were surprised! It was hot, and we knew it would be. There were people there who are annoying...we knew they'd be there. But John and the girls found a way for us to find some peace. We took a couple of peddle boats out onto the lake. It was early enough so there was still some shade around the lake. We had a good time.

Monday we went over to look at RVs again. We actually found one with both agreed would be nice. It is a pop-up, with a slide-out, a wet bath, a stove, and a microwave. If only we had a truck! lol

Tuesday night about midnight John woke me up to tell me our air conditioner was no longer working. Great! We woke the girls up and carried all of our bedding upstairs. Wednesday was hot, but not too bad. The girls and I hung out in the classroom (where the window unit is) until the air conditioner repair man came. It didn't take him long to fix the problem...condenser coil, and we had air again. I was beyond grateful!

So we didn't have school on Tuesday. It was too hot and the upstairs was a mess because I had taken all the boxes out of the attic in case the repairman needed access. Wednesday we didn't have school either. I decided if I didn't get the house cleaned up I was going to go crazy. We took the day to not only clean, but organize. While the house is not perfect, it feels so much better now.
