Life in the big apple) the wedding

first night home

Lena's: POV
It was our first night from our two week away on a carnival cruise. Mom made plenty of food for everyone to eat, we talked about everything we did and all the places we visited, l gave our family the G rated version of our trip. Dinner was delicious this evening. It felt good to have a home cook meal, we sat around the table enjoying a lite hearted conversation. I don't think l'll have enough room for dessert, Dad wink at me. Frankie sat beside me during dinner. Stef took Ariana out to walk the dogs for the night
Francesca helped clear the table with my mother
Dad were sitting having a interesting talk about the stock market, l'm telling you sweetheart bear Shar has triple into ten million dollars these last few weeks since you were gone. My father tells me, Daddy l hope your not using the money from your 401k Lena says. No l'm taking from my flex account Stewart States, l was thinking we could go to the track like we use to when you were a little girl. Stewart Stated, mm l don't know dad l spend enough money these past two weeks Lena tells her father
Okay maybe Stephanie will go with me Stewart said
You can ask her and see what she's says. I wanna spend time with my girls, and l need back to the bakery on Saturday. I'm considering in hiring an assistant to help me out, it's hard to do everything by myself these days
I wanna be able to come home at a decent time and have dinner with my wife and children. I put in twelve hours a day, with baking filling orders for customers. Don't get me wrong l love being a business owner, l'm grateful for my staff. Sweet tooth is doing extremely well overall things are looking up for once, Lena goes on to say, your mother and I are proud of all your accomplishments you been making over the years. Stewart replied, well l didn't get that way on my own. You taught me the importance of hard work, Lena States with admiration in her voice

Dana says to her husband and daughter. Frankie gets out the bowls and spoons out, Dana starts up the dish washer
Stef came through the door with Ariana and the doggies
She took them off their leashes. Stephanie just the person
I wanted to see how you and me head to the track tomorrow afternoon around 1:00 Stewart asks, Stef looks over at Lena. Her gives her a look, sure l love to go
Stef responded, she goes to wash her hands over at the sink. Dana begins serving everyone their after dinner treat, while Frankie scoops out the ice cream. Mommy can we watch a movie down in the family room in the basement Francesca said, yeah l don't see why not
It's been a long time since papa and Gram seen the new home theater we created Lena winks at her daughter
What did you guys do now your always doing something Lena Elizabeth Dana speaks. Mom it doesn't really that bad, we just got set up like they have in the movie theater
I didn't want a TV in the living room plus the cellar is huge. We brought chairs and a 72" inch flat screen TV
Lena tells her mother, after everybody was finished with their dessert. Francesca collected all the bowls and spoons
From the table, and took it over to the sink and washed them off by hand. in the soapy water, once she was done
She wiped down the dining room table. While her momma sister and grandparents headed down the basement, Lena wrapped up the peach cobbler and put it in the refrigerator. She went upstairs to check her sugar
Lena cleaned her finger with alcohol swab, then prick her index finger. Then squeezed it into the machine
She waited for a few minutes, Lena saw it read 128
Lena wrote down in the little note book in the night stand drawer. Her doctor wanted her to keep a dairy her sugar intake, she rarely ate sweets. Every three months was okay. Lena went to the bathroom and washed her hands
She was feeling rather tired but she promised her daughter she would watch a movie with the family
