Family




It's been a great week here in the Sfikas house. We had a surprise visit from Grandma Dawna and Pete who stayed for three nights. It was a blast having them here and we learned some interesting things about our family. They stayed just long enough to be part of the BBQ/Birthday Party I threw for myself (is that a little crazy?). We were missing a few people but still had a pretty good time. Grandma Dawna spent a lot of time trying to see if Ted was worthy to be called grandson or not. He lost ground when the BBQ caught on fire one night with flames that were eight feet high charring our chicken because he got caught up doing something in the house instead of watching the grill, he won points for helping clean up the kitchen, he lost points for letting Grandma bake a cake (from cold stone creamery, yum) after telling another woman attending our party to bring a cake, and he won points for being pretty good lookin'. At least he didn't end up in the negatives.
We are so excited to be having a lot of company over the next month. Ted's sister and kids come next week, and my friend Rachel is coming on the 28th. Along with the fact we are going puppy crazy! I have already set up a trainer for the puppies and started buying them a few toys, only one more month and we are counting every, single day!
I look forward to sharing a ton of pictures during the next month and will see you back here soon!

Tons of Love,
Charmaine and Family

PS. I posted pictures of Grandma, the kids and Pete. The silly one of Isi was taken a while ago, my friend brought back a hula outfit from Hawaii for her and she loves to swish the skirt and laughs like crazy to see herself sticking out her tongue.
