it was hot on father's day...

let's start with my last post. i had olivia saturday morning while her daddy took care of some things. we went to the farmer's market, children's shop and beehive. a fun morning shopping with my favorite little girl! rett came to get her about 11ish and i let her give him his father's day gift. she actually carried the gift to him! that was fun to watch! she gave him a photo book of her first year with pictures of just him and her. if i had to brag i'd say it turned out pretty cute! and i didn't even have to leave my house to buy it!
sunday i woke up and my air was out...again. 4th time since may 1st. lovely. so, i turn it off and get dressed for church. i go and come back. it's been off now for about 2 hours. surely it's had time to "unfreeze"... wrong! i turned it on and about 15 minutes later it was 2 degrees hotter in my house! so, back off it goes. well, if i'm going to sweat i'm going to get a tan while i do it! off to the pool... back about 1:30. turn air back on b/c it's now been off about 5 hours. temp raises another 2 degrees in a matter of minutes. at this point i'm crying b/c my gut is telling me this isn't good. a call to dubach air & heat and the news is, in fact, bad. my a/c is DEAD and has to be burried. there's no saving it. as he's telling me this i tear up. one, b/c it's hot and two, how in the heck am i going to pay for this!?!?! poor man. had he known he was getting me on his day off he probably wouldn't have signed up to be on call on father's day!! well, this morning my a/c was replaced and i can now enter my home. i stayed at emery's for 2 nights and can't thank the wilkerson's enough but i sure am glad to be home!

b/c of the a/c debacale we had to cancel our father's day plans with my dad. the whole fam (minus jenny b/c she had to work) was coming to my house. well, i wasn't going to be here so they opted to not come! we'll be celebrating this saturday while they're here! so, happy belated father's day, dad!

i got "olivia's baby book" in the mail last week and i love it! i'm so glad i did it. i will continue to print each year of her life until my blogging ends! what's so great is i didn't delete any posts. the book contains EVERY post from her birth story through her 1st bday party and doc appt. it has recipes, trips, happy and sad times. everything that happened her first year, good and bad, is in this book. surely one day she'll really appreciate it!
we've got a full weekend planned with the peach festival and a birthday party. stay tuned for olivia's debut in the world of competition!
