The Week in Review – Volume Two
On to week two for the week in review. Wow, how fast the weeks fly! Honestly, a whole lot happened this week. I’m not really ready to do much outside of the home by myself with all four kids yet (especially when one of them is a runner) so we mostly hung out at home during the week and then ventured out on the weekend when we had a better adult to child ratio. + From the Week + + Buzz and Woody are settling in well I think.

By the end of the day Monday she was devastated. She had pretty much reduced to a constant moan. Ha, I told her to enjoy the quiet while she could! Then a call didn’t come on Tuesday. On Wednesday Rae said a call was going to come either at 12:00 or 3:06. Lunch came and went and still no call. But then at 3:03 the call came! (She was just 3 minutes off!) That call resulted in a series of…
