So, this week has had it's ups and downs. Monday was the visitation for Matt's dad. There were hundreds of people there in those 6 hours. It was mind boggling really. There were pictures of him all over for everyone to look at. He really lived a good and full life, even though it was cut short at 59. Olivia was amazing during this time. She just got passed around and did her smiling and giggling for everyone and when she found a comfy shoulder, she would fall asleep. Tuesday was the funeral. Adolf, who is a friend of Matt's grandpa's did the funeral message and did a phenomenal job. I left there with a lot to work on and ponder. Then the luncheon followed and was very nice. After the kids were in bed that night, Matt and I watched "Bridge to Tarabithia". It was really a great movie and had a lot to do with moving on after the death of someone close to you, and using your talents to get through hard times. Matt had Wednesday off and it was nice to just relax a bit. We went to the grocery store with the girls in the morning and then picked the boys up from school and sat around. I cleaned up the fridge in the laundry room and we put all of the Christmas decorations in the attic. Yes, I said Christmas decorations. All in all a productive day.

So, today was back to normal for the most part. Nicholas had Kindergarten testing and did very well. He got 71 out of 81 points and is more than ready for Kindergarten. Tomorrow is Olivia's 6 month well visit, and I have to stop at GFS to get the meatballs and sauce for Olivia's dedication luncheon. Saturday will be cleaning, cleaning and then some more cleaning. I need to pick up Olivia's cake also. I need to have Matt replace the screen on the porch door as well. It ripped 7 months ago and just makes our house look "not very nice". Then Sunday is Olivia's Dedication. It is supposed to be 60 and mostly cloudy, which is nice. I am hoping that some of the mud will dry up so that the kids can play outside if they want to. Though we have quite a bit of mud right now because of the addition. I cannot wait to get the brick pavers put down next month!!

That is it I think. Next week is spring break and Layla's surgery. I am dreading both. lol. I'm going to try and get some video up of Olivia. She is getting up on all fours and rocking!! I can't believe she will be 6 months old tomorrow. Amazing how fast it goes. Love to all.
