august four :: one year later

A/C repair man was called this morning and was supposed to show up at 11 am. 1 pm just as I was about to walk out the door to go to playgroup the company calls... "My guy will be late", so I said "Yeah, no kidding..." and he said "He'll be there by 2 pm". Thank goodness Jamie's on vacation this week, so he was able to stay home to wait for the repair guy.

Mack & I went to playgroup today! We were 6 mommies this time, (last week we were only 4 of us, 2 whom were not even there today). Aren't these kids just the cutest?

Top Left to Right: Jordan (3 months old), Mack (7 weeks old tomorrow), Marshall (3 and a half weeks old). Bottom Left to Right: Sivan (2 days younger than Mack, 7 weeks old on Thursday), Noa (5 and a half months old) and Jake (10 and a half weeks old).

Yep, the bucket shot is just the cutest! These are Mack's friends!

The A/C guy did come while I was out at playgroup. Turns out that he couldn't find anything wrong and it wasn't leaking anything. Hmph. He did some "cleaning" and told Jamie to turn it back on, but to not go below 70 on the dial. We'd been keeping the house at 71-72 degrees, but the house was reading at almost 80 degrees, and that's when we realized that there was something wrong and Jamie noticed the unit frozen when he went to check in the furnace room. Anyhow, we'll see what happens, and if it stops working again, oh boy will they be hearing from me.

Some garden pictures:

There are now 5 growing cucumbers. Here's the biggest one.

The mini bell peppers are growing.

The San Marzano tomatoes are in huge clusters. Here are 10 together!

And the sweetie tomatoes are popping up by the dozens. I can't wait for them to all ripen! Yum!

This evening while Jamie played ball, I went to my parents house for dinner (BBQ!)

Mack slept in the bouncy chair at my parents house while we had dinner.

And Sean enjoyed some chocolate brownies for dessert after dinner. Oh what a mess that made.


And it also made him really energetic. So much that he started SCREAMING. This is a photo of him screaming. It's a good thing you don't have to hear it. He was LOUD!

Today I pulled out my Birks. It was my first time wearing them. I have been wearing things lately that don't match red, so I haven't had the opportunity to wear them. Well, finally today I was able to. They are super cute.

Happy Anniversary Robyn's Nest! A year ago today, I announced my shop, Robyn's Nest! And of course on my anniversary, this evening my shop was down for a couple of hours. Not sure what that was all about, I couldn't even log into my admin. But it's back, and up and running again. So if you tried to log in this evening and couldn't get on, I'm going to extend my 48 hour sale until Wednesday, due to the glitch in the system. Everything in the shop is 20% off! Come celebrate with me! It's been a fabulous year and I've enjoyed meeting new people through the shop. Here's to another year! Cheers!
