Easter Weekend

Well Easter weekend has come and gone once again.  Although most of our weekend was filled with driving it sure was fun and special with the time we had.  Friday at 3 Patrick and I hit the road and had the GPS set for Novotny Rd in Charlevoix, MI.  My family was already there and awaiting our arrival.  After a few hundred miles and pit stop at the Steak and Shake we rolled into town at 10:15.  Saturday was filled with showing Patrick all of Charlevoix and trying to see as much family as possible.  As Easter morning came around so did more family.  My tiny grandma's house was filled with 11 people, a hungry dog, and lots of food.  Special time was shared and before we knew it, it was 4:00 and time for us to roll out of town. 

As we walked back into our apartment and dropped the suitcase and  many gifts we came home with on the floor, we were quickly reminded of reality where everything is not sunshine and glitter.  Patrick went to turn off our living room radiator as it was summer inside and felt a drip, drip, drip on his head.  Yup,  the radiator in the apartment above was leaking into our living room.  May I please take the time to remind you of our kitchen having the same experience? Well the sky is falling once again.  The late night security guard went to tell the (not so) kind woman above to please turn it off, but she wouldn't answer.  A drip pan was quickly placed and prayers were said so we would not have her radiator falling through our ceiling.

Yes, that is plaster in that pan as well.

This problem quickly became the least of my worries today as I started day 1 with my new little ones.  We had so much fun and very little tears.  We even had a fit when it was time to go (the girl was clinging to my leg even though I promised she could come back).  Pretty good day I would say. Now I'm home ready to start dinner and settle down for some good t.v. so I can be ready with a smiling face once again tomorrow at 5:30am
