So much has happened in the last week (since Sunday, March 14th) that we have to break it up into two parts. The first part will cover Goodbye CL, The Fence, Erich and Michelle, Sickness and Big Snow.
It was Spring Break last week, so I was was at home.
Goodbye CL
CL (see older blogs) left us on Tuesday. We didn't do much exciting with CL on Monday or Tuesday since he was in day care all day and Tuesday night went home. We were sad to see him go. We hope he and Cynthia will come and visit when the weather gets warm and we can all play in the pool.
The Fence
Edison and I started tearing down the old fence and put in a bunch of new posts. That meant that we had to dig two feet into the ground and rip out the old concrete and posts (not fun and took a long time). Then we put down new posts, put in the cross beams (that hold the fence posts) and put in every other slat all the way around. We also got one of the two gate doors built. We ran out of time because we each had some other commitments and also we ran into some bad weather. We will probably finish it by next Sunday, but at least it is secure enough that no little kids can wander into the pool. The eight-foot-high cedar panels look absolutely beautiful.
Erich and Michelle
They came up Wednesday. Evidently they were freezing most of the night. I gave them more covers for the next night.
Thursday they went to Six Flags, which turned out to be a bad idea since it was Spring Break. Erich said they stood in very long lines for two big rides then gave up on the whole idea. The lines were just too long. Afterwards they went to the Northpark Mall (very large and very nice). They returned the evening of Thursday.
Friday they went to the Fort Worth Zoo and left from there back to home in The Woodlands. We did not hear how that went.
Sickness
Melinda and I were sick all week (cold / flu-like symptoms). She was much worse off that I was and ended up staying in bed for half the day of Saturday and lived in bed all day Sunday just trying to fight it off so that she would be well when I went back to work today. At one point, we thought she was going to have to taken to the hospital. We were worried about bronchitis. She is much better this morning.
Big Snow
We had a big snow storm last Saturday night and early Sunday. We got at LEAST 8 inches and I think more like 10 inches. I was out in the worst of the storm at 3:00 AM coming back from Wal-Mart for certain baby items and food. It very quickly started to melt Sunday morning, so it was too slushy to really get to play in.
See Part II for the rest of what happened this week.
