Michael kissed Arianna and Nicole goodbye as he was dropping David off at summer camp and then off to the job site.      The last few months had been hectic at the Carter residence. Michael spent most of his time working at home and the job site while Arianna was busy caring for Nicole and David.      Jack and Wanda remained a constant support channel for the Carters. Michael felt very obligated to both of them. If they only knew how little money Michael had left after the significant repairs made to the house and substantial monthly mortgage payments, they would be amazed. Even with their financial and moral support, Michael was running out of funds quickly, and except for a few minor improvements, the house was still far from being completed.      As the sun shined brightly through the kitchen windows, Arianna poured herself a cup of coffee and sat at the table, making out a list of what she needed to do this day. Nicole was in her playpen positioned near the fireplace in the family room. A television played in the background. Just shy of being three months old, Nicole couldn’t understand television, but she sure did like the movement of the lovely colors on the screen as she stared at it undaunted for several minutes at a time.
