When Mommy and Daddy were looking
for our dream home to raise two beautiful baby angels and for our family to
come visit anytime and feel like home, we each had a special preference which
we did not ultimately find in our final pick of the West Walnut
Grills-Holsapple Home: an in-ground pool or a fireplace. Today that changedJ.
When Daddy got off work today it
was such a beautiful day that the two of you accompanied Daddy outside and you
both played in the sand box while Daddy worked at cleaning out the garage—it
was a beautiful day for outside activityJ.
Mommy and Daddy moved outdoor dining table from the garage to our dining area. After playing and garage cleaning, Daddy
prepared a lunch of peanut butter and apple-butter sandwich for you and Daddy,
Buddha, and an apple-butter sandwich for you Bodhi (you said you didn’t want
peanut butterJ)
and some pasta and tomatoes mixed together (one of Daddy’s favorites). After
lunch, we all patiently waited for the return of Mommy (she had gone to the
mall to have her nails done and to shop for some pants for Ms. Bodhi).
When Mommy arrived home, we all
boarded our new Highlander for our adventure together, and Daddy asked if we
could first go to Lowe’s and look at an outdoor fireplace Daddy had seen about
a month ago. It’s very similar to the expensive fireplace we saw and wanted at
SAMS club last summer. When we got to Lowe’s we ran into Grandma who
was leaving, we of course had to pause for exchanging hugs and kissesJ. We then began our
search and could not immediately find the fireplace Daddy had seen; a store
employee directed us to another outside location where the outdoor fire pits
and such had been moved. We found a floor model of the outdoor fireplace Daddy
had previously seen and Mommy liked it and we discovered it was on sale—then we
discovered it was the last one (the floor model) and that we could purchase it
with an additional ten percent off since it was a display modelJ. Mommy was told when
she paid for our purchase that we were in fact lucky that it was the last
available floor model fireplace as they were somewhat difficult to assemble and
typically there was an additional cost to purchase one already assembled---we
lucked out all aroundJ.
We then hurried to find a pick-up
truck to return and claim our new outdoor fireplaceJ! We stopped by GiGi’s and
found their truck was not running (needing a new battery—Daddy offered to help
with getting a new one whenever they wanted). GiGi, of course, insisted on some
hugs and kisses before we left, then we went to Grandma’s house and she offered
us the use of her pick-up truck (our pick-up truck is loaded with a table and
two air conditioners, which Daddy is eager to get removed to the garage!). Ms.
Bodhi and Mister Buddha enjoyed the opportunity to stay with Grandma, while
Mommy and Daddy picked up our outdoor fireplace and took it home and situated
it in our outdoor patio area designed and created by Mommy with assistance of
brother Sean Francis. It looked great when we got it set up!!!
After returning for the two of
you, we then did some antiquing and found you, Jude, a cool Air Force pilot
jacket (Grandpa Harold would love it, and brother Ryan Michael will think you
are especially cool—brother Ryan Michael enjoys flying). We later found you,
Emilia, two “orphan kitties” that we got for you but had to take home and wash
in the wash machine and dry for you to haveJ.
