I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. Well, I have officially started my new job at Oak City in Bloomington. The training has been pretty intense and time consuming but certainly to my benefit. Tonight is our last night of our "Soft Opening." It is supposed to be the busiest night yet for all of our machs. I am looking forward to it. My parents are coming in as well, which should be pretty fun. And, since they have two daughters who are servers and another who is a host, they should be pretty set on feeling at home! So far it's been pretty fun working with my sisters. If you don't already know, my sister Sarah is also serving and my sister Katherine is a host. I would love it if you all came in to have some fun. The food is excellent and the entertainment is even better! I'm really looking forward to working in a fun atmosphere like this and plus, anyone who knows me, knows I will be right up there with the dueling pianos singing my favorites, like Proud Mary of course.
As for the rest of the family, Kevin is still gearing up for the RNC. He just got his schedule and it's rather overwhelming. He is working consistent 12 hour days for 8 days. At least he is working the 10am-10pm shift, so it won't screw with the sleep schedule too much. Also, I have to brag a little bit about Kevin as well. He has done such an incredible job with our yard this year. It is by far the best looking yard on the block. He has really put a lot of detail into the flowers and shrubs and has also added a plush vegetable garden. The numerous amounts of tomatoes are already ripening and we have some good sized cucumbers coming in as well. While we are also waiting for the squash to come up we are most excited about the pumpkins. We are looking forward to having our very own home grown pumpkins to carve. I just think all of his work in the yard has paid off and I never really realized how much hard work it is to keep a garden and the yard looking pristine.
Charlotte has become a chatter box to say the least. She is forming sentences and learning new words every day. It's so much fun to see her learn so quickly. She certainly is a sponge. However, with learning words also means learning how to verbalize her frustrations too. For instance, she and her cousin Sammy have had difficulty in the sharing department. Her and Sam were literally pulling back and forth, aggressively I might add, on a toy that I can't even remember, and Charlotte kept saying "No,No,No....Mine, Mine, Mine!" It's funny when you see the transformation from your sweet and kind little child to a misbehaving, naughty one. It's like you can't even believe it. Well, I'm sure I am in for a new chapter in Charlotte's development and I'll have to get used to the manic attitudes. Other than her episodes of defiance she has been a lot of fun lately. As you can see in the pictures she had on her Official Princess outfit, as I call it. She has a Cinderella nightgown and on top she where's a sheer princess "cape," if you will. I don't know the exact definition. Nonetheless, when she puts this outfit on, she just loves it. You can tell she actually feels like a genuine princess. She gets this proud smile on her face and then loves to touch the outfit to feel just how much of a princess she is.
You'll also notice there are some pictures of Charlotte at the Irish Fair. We were fortunate enough to have the day free last Sunday to head on out to Harriett Island in St. Paul. The Fair was a lot of fun. The people were great, the beer was great (according to Kevin that is) and the music was even better. This is our first year, but we are definitely going to make this an annual affair.
Well, I hope everyone enjoys the absolutely beautiful weekend. Take Care and be safe.
