Back from Sweden

We all survived while Chris was in Sweden! Chris was gone a week and didn't really take many photos and neither did we. But here we go...

First, Heidi took ALL day to cut Noah's hair on Saturday. I never took a final picture but she did a nice job! It was pretty funny and he was a good sport through the whole thing.

Here is a random picture from Chris... I guess this is art in Sweden?

Chris brought home some fun snacks for the girls. 

When he got home, he had a little energy left to go to dinner with all of us. I think he was up for at least 24 hours at this point! He fell quickly alseep when we got home and slept in on Saturday too. 

Chris got lucky and was upgraded for his main return flight. He enjoyed the perks and his own space for sure!

We only started a fire once while Chris was away :) This is a rite of passage as Heidi did the same thing. Lucy put ramen noodles in the microwave to cook without water. Luckily we were able to put it out quickly and only had a stinky house for a day.

Remy is still getting his weekly soaks and I threw Rizzo in there too to bath him as he was getting stinky. He did not find it fun.

Heidi's volleyball pictures! 

And ending with the last two pictures from Chris of his hotel room. He said the bed was awful and was WAY too excited for our bed once home. 

This week we hope the weather continues to warm up and we can actually take down our Christmas lights as well as we have our first college tour on Friday! 

The Ladies

 

Chris is off and doing well in Sweden and the girls are holding down the fort. First, I found some cute group pictures from Lucy's dance - she has a big ole smile on!

I took fat dog into work and he did great!! He ran around and greeted everyone, played nicely with other dogs who were there and I think he can come back. I won't bring him every time as I do think Rizzo was sad at home even though he was with Chris. Rizzo barks too must and is too scared of big dogs to go to the office.  If I'm having to go into the office a little more, might as well bring the dog.

After dropping Chris off at the airport, we ran errands with the girls. It was a nice weekend, and hopefully this week goes quickly!

Volleyball

 

We had another weekend of volleyball - but at least this was close to home and no bad weather. We made our way to Cedar Point, which is only about 40 minutes from our house. The girls had a rougher Saturday but did not drop a set and won their bracket the second day. The team is hot and cold and hard when you almost always have some guest player in the mix, but they are doing better. The main part is Heidi is having fun and overall, the team is great! 

It will forever be entertaining when Heidi has to play all around. She got some kills! 

The newest thing in volleyball is "clipping". They decorate clothes pins with fun sayings etc and people run around these tournaments trying to secretly clip you. Its cute. Its fun. I'm also done being clipped. ha. I think it's the markers they use to decorate them that rub off on your hands or clothing. Either way - the girls are doing it and they are having fun. 

Some random pictures of fat dog chilling. I'm going to bring him to the office this week - wish me luck!

Day 2 was a lot better. They played awesome! Noah came and watched this day and Lucy got to escape to a friends house!

Our coaches are fun...

The coaches said if we swept our bracket - they would do the worm. I missed the main tries, but I got this amazing pic!

On to another week!
