Catching up


Whew! It was a busy week and very busy weekend for the Libutti family... thankfully all good, fun things to keep us occupied. Michaela was the VIP at school on Thursday and was very happy to hold that honor. We all went to the dentist on Tuesday and unfortunately, Michaela has a few more cavaties to get filled. The dentist explained to us that her teeth are very ridged- a genetic condition- and it has nothing to do with her brushing. He said she might have even formed the cavaties before they even broke through her gums! We go back next month to get that taken care of.


On Wednesday, we met up with Sara and Caitlyn at Color Me Mine, a paint your own pottery studio. Michaela and Jenna made dinner plates for themselves and did a terrific job! The plates get fired and glazed and we can pick them up this Wednesday. We had a great time visiting and painting and generally reeking havoc on the place.


Friday I took the girls to Picture People to get Valentine's pictures taken with all of us in our matching tshirts. They turned out great and Jenna spoke spontaneously to a stranger (the photographer) for the first time- a huge milestone! We surprised Daddy with a triple matted frame with pictures of Jenna and I, Michaela and I and the three of us.


This weekend we had a fabulous dinner at Aunt Kathy's on Saturday night and heard all about her trip to Hawaii. Then on Sunday, we had a family reunion with the entire Libutti/Folk clan. It was such fun to see Michaela and Jenna with Olivia. The above picture is from the dozens of pictures we took- we're lucky the girls didn't go blind from all the flashes! Jonesy put on a nice ham dinner for us and we all enjoyed lots of laughs. Like Michael says, "Good times!"


This week is much quieter for us... not much going on except for Valentine's Day which we are not doing too much for. (I tell Dan: I love you, you love me, let's not spend lots of money re-telling each other... I'm such a hopeless romantic!!) Michaela has her 100th day of school on Wednesday and the class will celebrate with a big party on Thursday. She has to bring in 100 of something, so of course we are going to bring in 100 M&Ms.

Enjoy the week!

dentist, huh. Are you instilling in Michaela the value of the 6:00am dentist run? That way you still have the rest of the day . . . I actually have a dentist appointment Tuesday at 1:00 pm. It will be a real luxury to be able to see the dentist's office in the light of day . . .
