Update on FUN stuff lol

So here's a happy blog. Olivia is so cute when she's not screaming. She laughs at Lucas all the time and it makes me feel like they were meant to be a year apart :) How can she love him so much already? And the love is definitely reciprocated; Lucas pulled a big heavy comforter off the rack to put on her when she cried. He doesn't do it for our approval, but purely out of concern for his crying sister. Constantly brings her pacifier to her. When I went to my appt today, Lucas gave grandma >20 kisses! She didn't even ask! So cute.

I had marinated chicken last night, so I went out to get the bbq warmed up, and my neighbor from across the street (stephanie's husband) came over and told me (yes, told, not asked!) that he was cutting our lawn since John's gone. They are really giving people. Wouldn't you like to have my neighbors? How many of my blogs have been about neighbors helping or cutting my grass! I was going to until this kidney thing happened. But I totally appreciate it...and while I thought he was only doing the front, he went in the back, while the dogs barked and ran at him, picked up all the branches/sticks/pinecones, and mowed the whole lawn all the way back to the huge trees. I felt so indebted to him, but I didn't have enough barbecue so I made my new favorite cake--strawberry with rainbow chip icing--I of course, made one for the Childress's and one for us :) We enjoyed ours too. Thanks Larry + Stephanie! (And yes, I snuck the camera out to catch you in your good deed!)

Then I finally got my 'Constantine' dvd in the mail. Got it on ebay for $4. I don't know why, but I like the movie. I even like Keanu in it.

I don't know, I always like those semi-scary/corny religious movies with a real message. This movie's moral was to quit smoking. nah, just kidding. Watch it!
Mom and Norman came over to watch it with us, although it was kinda scary for Lucas. I barbecued a few chicken breasts and hot dogs, and made asparagus (s'posed to be good for kidneys) and I had already made chicken/pasta salad with sweet pickles and cranberries the night before.
yum:


It was a good night and babies are asleep now. Ugh...time to clean up all the messes though!
