Well, things have been busy around here. We have spent most of the last week battling a very crafty foe...fleas. Sadie never had fleas before, so we didn't have her on any preventative measures. Unfortunately for us, since there was no hard freeze, fleas are terrible this year. By the time we noticed that she was itching badly..things had gotten out of control. We got Sadie taken care of with medicine, but then there was the house. We bombed the house 3 separate times. This worked on most of the house....however our bedroom seems to be where the hotbed of activity was going on. We are still trying to rid the room of fleas. I guess since this is where Sadie sleeps, this is where they are the worst. After much research, I have found that the only way to beat these buggers is by breaking the life cycle. You have to basically spray and vacuum everyday for up to 2 weeks. Fun stuff. Meanwhile, Jeff and I are camped out in the guest bedroom.
We were thankful that our efforts worked in the rest of the house...especially since we had Drew's first birthday party on Saturday. We had to postpone his original party date due to my grandmother's funeral. The party was a lot of fun and it was great to celebrate with family and friends. It was a pretty simple and fairly small party that we had at home. We grilled burgers and hot dogs and had an amazing Costco cake!! (pictures coming soon) It was a cowboy party, so we held it at high noon. Our family and friends were so wonderful to come and help us celebrate our sweet little boy and we are so thankful for their generosity.
After a lot of cleaning up, we got the house in pretty good order again. We went to my mom and dad's house to celebrate Father's Day. We had a wonderful dinner of surf and turf... great t-bone steak and snow crab...very yummy!! We got my dad and Jeff some World's greatest Dad and Grandpa shirt and hats, as well as some tickets to a FC Dallas soccer game in August. I am so very thankful that God has blessed me with such an amazing father and such a superb dad for my boys. I couldn't ask for any better for either of these great men in my life. We had fun swimming in the pool at my mom and dad's and a great day with family.
Well that is about it for now. We pray you are all doing well. We ask that you could say a special prayer for Jeff's cousin Andy in Arkansas. He has been in the hospital for 4 weeks now and is unable to keep any food down due to some serious problems with his intestines. This is very serious and he needs some prayers. His daughter is only 10 years old and needs her daddy!! Thanks for your prayers! Love from Frisco, Texas.
