A successful opening!

Thanks to all for your thoughts and well wishes! We at WB have been thought of so many times by new friends and old friends this week! It has been such a blessing. Even people I meet on the street have asked how the opening went....well, it has gone very well! The owners are happy and so are the customers, that is what matters most! My staff is top notch, could only have been better if I brought my entire old staff with me...
And the boys, you ask...they are good too! Daddy took them for haircuts tonight and they look like handsome little men, don't you think?

Week In Review

Today: We picked up Blake and went to Wal-Mart for a shopping trip. We needed a bunch of stuff. Blake made the trip a lot of fun because she had on slick boots, as she slid down the aisles, the boys laughed out loud. She and Dan insisted that we use the self-check out...I do not like those things!! We dropped off the boys and Blake and I went into work to finish up, we are ready to open on Monday morning!

Mon - Fri: I spent the week at the store putting on the finishing touches, what do you think? We set several displays and priced everything. Towards the end of the week we got excited to open!


Tuesday: Sam loves to put gel in his hair, I asked what he was doing and he said 'gellin'.


It seems like the last time I blogged, one week ago, was forever ago. So much happens in one week. I am thankful that most weeks I can blog more often, because I don't want to miss any details of this life God has chosen for us. Over the course of this week Joe started to feel much better and this makes the whole house happier! Even though Dan and I worked all week, we packed a lot into the evenings! Monday we went to watch our niece Morgan cheer at her 8th grade game. Tuesday night Blake and I worked late at the store. Wednesday night Dan went to youth group while the boys and I stayed home b/c it was sooooo cold. I did my first radio commercial on Thurs. afternoon, so if you're local, listen up! Thursday night Dan made us fresh pork chops then left to referee a basketball game. Oh and on that note, Dan emailed me Friday about the bacon post, he thought it was funny, but wanted me to give him "props for the chops" that he made us for dinner! Last night we had date night with Brent and Melissa. We had a nice evening without the kids for dinner and a movie. It seems like the time flies by, so glad we are lovin it! Wish me luck and God speed on Monday for our pharmacy opening!

DH's bacon

DH did a normal thing for us folks that grew up on a farm. He helped butcher a pig at their farm yesterday. I have been many times to help, but wasn't too sad that the boys couldn't be out in the weather. I will spare you the pics, but DH was so proud to say that he had brought home the bacon, literally. And it made for an unplanned evening of fun.
We had breakfast for supper and the boys ate like hogs (hee, hee). Sam was proud to bring the waffles to the table (no, not home grown...just Eggo)

DH aka Daddy cooking real eggs from real chickens (this saying goes back to my college days when my roomie came to visit and was excited by this thought), sausage and bacon. The bacon wasn't my favorite as it was uncured, tasted more like strips of pork...bring on the cured stuff for me. We are blessed to have such yummy and unprocessed food for our family. Don't plan on checking our cholesterol this week though...

The boys enjoyed coloring while DH cooked supper


We ate then played with this cool puzzle that is 6 feet long with tons of animals. Thanks Christine for letting us play with it.

Joe is feeling better and since we have been under practical quarantine at home is figuring out some of his toys. I feel like I have replaced enough batteries to fuel a power plant. He loves this ride on toy. It was a gift for Sam a few years ago from Brent and Melissa.

How come I can't ride on this one, mama?

And the kicker for the evening...DH replaced some lightbulbs, much needed. We even stayed up late, I think because it was so light in our house..hee,hee.
