Where does the time go?!
Time for a little catch up.
Back to Friday, when ASK brought out bars for Joshua’s birthday which is tomorrow, because she won’t be here tomorrow because she is in FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!! NO I’m not wishing myself there!! (well maybe just a little)
Yes. Tomorrow, for the first time ever, I will have a 3-year-old baby. Not that he’s a baby, oh hardly that at all – he’s most definitely NOT a baby, although when it’s to his advantage he’ll still claim the title . . .
Ben enjoys his ukulele a lot -
And it sounds great, and I LOVE IT.
Saturday morning surprise – that rare white stuff called SNOW!
Saturday night we had a houseful of friends (no px, oops) in for pizza, and then headed to the Pekin Rink for some skating – this time hockey was included, and our boys and all others, from what I could tell, had a BLAST. The younger kids even had a game going for awhile – a MUCH calmer (and safer) game than the boys’, I might add. And some of us somewhat even calmer skaters enjoyed going in circles around the rest of the rink, and some of the others who didn’t care to skate either watched the hockey game or chatted in the warm room. And THANKFULLY, there was no blood although a few players were seen limping later. . .
Sunday we were greatly blessed to have Doug & Beth and girls (Brianna and two friends - Abby had to work and Cassie & Carrie were on the ACYF bus) come for supper, as well as Christy and Grandpa & Grandma S. After supper we had time for a little singing around the piano and then with instruments before we left for church for the ACYF program.
I think Doug wants a bass.
sorry Grandma K – I didn’t notice the closet door was open until right now :(
And now today was GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and wet)
*smile*
A soggy but still beautiful baby pond.
So much brilliant blue is beyond description, so I won’t even try. All this beauty, but we can’t begin to imagine the splendors of heaven…
Glad for a chance to wash the van.
*secret* these two were fighting like cats/dogs until I made them smile for the picture. They did much better after that - a smile chases the grouchies away, it really does!!
FAREWELL TO OLD GREEN
A brief history.
We bought this 2000 Dodge Ram van in 2000; It ran faithfully for almost 12 years with few or no problems. In June (yes that says JUNE) it clunked, and Mike the Mechanic had a terrible time figuring out what was wrong. After several strikes, it turned out it was the computer. Mike replaced the computer, and Thursday we got the call: it is ready to be picked up. (What? Already??) Friday I took it directly to Showroom Ready which did what they advertised – got it showroom ready. Saturday I brought it home and Jesse posted it on Craigslist. Saturday afternoon someone came to look at it. Needed to think on it a little. Today - - - - - they came and got it. Gone! Done! Off our property, turn the page, end of chapter, close the book, D.O.N.E. DONE!! (except for the calls that keep coming – guess we priced it too low – or so accountant Dad says – I’m not saying that at all. I’m just GLAD IT’S GONE)
So.
Throw in driver’s ed for Tori for the next four weeks (which includes a trip to Pekin Wednesday to get her (gulp) driver’s permit), the new robotic milkers at RVD which means the boys are there a lot but I really don’t know when and I don’t know if they know for sure either, two ortho appointments tomorrow, music lessons on Wednesday, piano lessons (one down, three to go…), schoolwork of course, groceries in there somewhere sometime, and a few runny noses and coughy kids, and this week looks to be pretty full. Not much mundane routine this week. But that’s ok. A week or two is ok with me. Or 3 or 4. But I’ll be glad when we return to routine. Really glad.
And on that note -
good night.
