Family and friends, and more friends!

We have had a crazy busy and fun week. My parents arrived on Monday and then our Texas guests arrived on Tuesday. We took both our cars to the shop this week since Dad could help us out and Nick was the co-pilot every time. He got quality time with Ata Bill and has already learned some southern gospel songs to sing with him. Finally, the cooler weather has arrived and we got out the jeans and jean jacket (thanks, Auntie Rhino!)


Wednesday, we took our Texas guests to Hall's on the River. It was a nice drive and equally nice meal. Nick did great but he has discovered the joys of Ata Bill's Suburban which has a really great DVD system......boy, that makes a long ride much easier!





Saturday evening, My good friend from St. Louis and her family joined us for dinner and then an impromptu sleep-over as they (and we) did not realize that they would be trying to find a hotel when all of Louisiana and the Keeneland crowds were bedding down here also! Christine and I have been friends since about 6th grade which is a really long time ago......boy, I feel old especially after I calculated how many years that is.....Time flys when you are having fun?

They are travelling south and stopped to meet Nick. They have a 5 year old son who was the best partner in crime for Nick and they had a blast playing!



Boys will be Boys! They discovered that you could both ride the Little tikes car with a little creativity .......Nick's Turn!



Now, Kaden's turn!


Kaden is already reading so I told Nick to use that to his advantage and so we could rest! ;)

We still have another whole week with my parents and more projects. This week we have to finally pick a roofer for our new roof (remember the leak) and now we have another leak under our shower into the basement so that will require a plumber visit and possibly a big hole in our ceiling in the wash room......oh well, it could be worse and be somewhere that would be an eyesore. We have a family reunion and a Kazakh friends party at the end of the week so more friends and family to come!

We hope everyone has a great week and GO Wildcats! What a game!

Love to all, K-Pat and Nick
