What have we been up to....
As of late I have been particulary absent from the computer world (sorry I have been reading a lot of Jane Austin novels lately) :) Anyway, the weather has been nice and we've been busy busy busy. I feel like I can actually breathe this week. Last week was a total blur! I'll try to remember what's all happened so you can all get caught up.
Well....last week, from Sunday night to Thursday night the kids had bible school at my mom and dad's church. That left me and Keith and Ella alone for the evening and though that might seem like a break....it was a bit...but it's not really a complete break when the most dependent one is left at home and severly misses her brother and sister to the point that she has to have extra care and be extra needy...:) We survived though....Sunday night we took the boat out to the river and Ella absolutely loved the ride. We road down the river quite a ways and she was laughing and saying hi to every boat we passed. It was really funny. After we loaded up the boat we went to the dairy freeze and Ella ate a chocolate cone and giggled as she watched a puppy in the car next to the table eating it's very own vanilla cone.:) Monday and Tuesay nights were spent managing Ella while Keith had to "entertain" Target rep's that were in town. Wednesday night my mom and I made a TON of Strawberry Jam (yum yum) and froze some for this winter. Thursday was the Bible School program but unfortunetly neither I nor Keith could go. I had an auction and Keith...more shmoozing of the reps. Friday was a trip to the Relay for Life benefit where we ate fried pickles cheeseburgers and pizza and walked around looking and donating at the displays. It was really fun for the kids with clowns and blow up games and other "carnival" type games to play. Saturday was a major work day for me. We cleaned windows, cleaned carpets, cleaned highchairs, table and chairs and stools and the van (which was very gross :) Finally we ended the day with an evening at grammy and papa's around the fire roasting dogs and marshmellows. After supper Ella proceeded to take a rollarcoaster ride off the back end of the deck and bang her head so hard that her head and nose were bleeding. She about gave me a heartattack!! But she soon recovered and we took her home to wash her up good. On Sunday we had our annual church at Streetfest it was nice but the kids got antzy so we skipped out on the last song. We came home and sat outside in the sun and relaxed. Later that night Lucy took a tumble for round 2 of the scraps and bruises (I think this is going to be a rough summer :) Anyway hers was more knees and elbows than head which always makes a mommy more at ease:) Yesterday was a catch all day with odds and ends trips in the morning and the grocery store in the evening while Keith went to a Audio Adrenaline concert at our church...if you've ever seen the video "Big House" by audio adrenaline our pastor is the enourmously large guy in the video. He's hilarious...not your typical pastor but has a huge heart for God. Anyway it was a good time. I worked this morning at the hospital while Gideon, Lucy and Ella played with Nani. Tonight it's a t-ball game and supper out. We are keeping majorly busy preparing for vacation which is less than 2 weeks away! I have a lot to do! So--hope all is well and everyone is healthy and happy! Love to all!
