This morning, we were all up bright and early and getting ready for the delivery men to arrive with the new t.v. Robert picked out an amazing t.v. and we couldn't wait to see it.
The two men arrived and began setting it up while Robert was still on a conference call. All four of the girls were in the living room watching as they carefully removed it from its packaging and got it set up on the t.v. cabinet. It was AMAZING!!!! Robert came in a few minutes before they finished and we got a quick lesson on how to operate the thing. Yes, we had to have lessons, it's that awesome! The girls couldn't wait to try out a 3D movie on it and we couldn't wait to tune into ESPN and see some football on that big, beautiful screen.

Once the initial thrill had slightly wore off, Robert sat down to do some work and I started putting the finishing touches on my t.v. cabinet. I know I said I had finished it before, but there was just one last thing to do to get it all done. (Well, I do want to replace the drawer pulls with different ones, but that will require some serious shopping around to find the 'right' ones.) I borrowed my dads staple gun and attached the chicken wire to the smaller side of the unit and then reattached the door with the screw driver. Finally....DONE! I am so pleased with my summer project and now have a long list of future projects to also complete, but that's for another time.

The girls had been itching to get into the pool, so after lunch everyone got dressed and we headed over to mom and dads to get into the pool. It was a little bit overcast, so the water wasn't very warm. Melinda hates being cold, so she decided to sit out and read on her new Kindle. I got in for a little bit, mainly to cool off from the killer workout we had just finished. Once I was feeling better, I got out and sat next to Melinda to read on my iPhone aka take a nap. The girls stayed in for a short time before wanting to get out and have dinner. Mom is still out of town, so Dad came over to eat dinner with us.
Robert and I had plans to go out for the evening, so we got all the girls situated and we headed out. We went to hear a singer/song writer perform at a restaurant in Plano. We have heard him several times and were looking forward to an evening out. Melinda has been so wonderful and offers to stay at home with the girls so Robert and I can go out sometimes. I know that her relationship with each of the girls grows stronger each day and I know that both of my girls are going to miss her so much. She and Ally have spent so much time in the kitchen, baking, cooking, and talking and I know that Ally has matured so much over this summer. Abigail has grown to see Melinda is a new big sister. They play games together and she loves to watch Abigail act silly. She makes us all laugh. I can't believe that in just one more month, Melinda will be on a plane heading back to Hungary. This summer has just flown by.
