We got home from Colorado yesterday and we had a lovely welcome home gift! I have lots of good stories to share from our trip, but those will have to wait.
As soon as I walked through our door our house smelled like mildew. Micah said he could not smell anything and I was probably not "smelling anything." Well, as I walked down the hall I noticed that the carpet looked kind of dirty and matted. A little confused, I vacuumed before I left, I bent down to touch the carpet and it was soaked. The toilet in our hall bathroom had a leak and all the carpet in the hall and into Kadence's room was SOAKED!! We spent the next couple of hours pulling up carpet and putting fans on it to air it out. Our plumber came out this morning to fix the problem, but it could not be fixed without going through the sheet rock. Gotta Love it!! You can see where he cut his hole. So this is what our hall looks like now. The carpet is almost dry, but we still have a lot of work to do.

Bummer of a welcome home, but thank God the kids are still with Nana (well, they are on their way to Mimi's house to go swimming with Addie right now). : )
Oh my goodness, what a great way to be greated. We just got back from the doc and Bode has strep!
That totally stinks! Sorry about that!
Hope your trip was great!!
Don't you just love unexpected house repairs/expenses?! Good Luck with everything. (This is Angela by the way)
Argh. Not a great thing to come home to, huh?
I enjoyed seeing your sweet babies yesterday in Bellville. Although I did hear that Kadence said, when she drove into the driveway with Nana, "I don't like Aunt Jackie."
I will see the therapist today to try and work through this .... Don't your worry.
I did pull out my pen and mention the word TATTOO .... I suddenly wasn't so bad. I'm hoping my ink skills (which aren't much!) will win her over. She did leave Bellville sporting a lovely butterfly tattoo. (As did Addie, Abbie, Hanna, Julie, Janice ....)
I am always a little nervous when we return from a trip. I never know what we will walk into. That stinks to come home to plumbing problems after spending a fortune on a vacation.
oh man!! that is no fun!!
That sucks....real BAD!! I'm so sorry!
