Orange Day

Jonathan is learning the color orange... so guess what we had for lunch...Orange!!

Birthday Stuff

Our Friday routine this summer has been a trip to the grocery store and then we head to the Dairy Barn to pick Isaac up from his summer job. Today's stop turned into a party. We were treating Miss Rachel to a birthday shake when her cousins showed up. If that wasn't enough of a treat, they had a package for her too!

Happy Birthday

Ok.... I told you I ended up with a yucky strep infection. But did I mention it was my sweet little girl's first birthday?! I felt so rotten that even though I felt bad about her special day- I don't think I really cared. Instead of celebrating- we spent five hours taking me to the doctor! What a sweet family this momma has!

SO we celebrated litte Miss Rachel's day on the 22nd when momma was feeling much better.

Ouch!

My poor little boy!! Yesterday morning, the little ones and I went to Eastanalle Church to CHIMES. We have decided not to attend this year and I need to pick up/ drop off some things. [Boy, did I feel rotten. But I'll tell you about that in a minute!] I'm still not for sure how it happened- but as I was loading the truck in the parking lot, it had started to rain just enough to make things wet. Jonathan had gone around the truck to his side so I could load him. I heard his scream. When I got to him, his little face was already covered in blood. I yelled for Anita. April said she knew from my scream their was blood. How well she knows me. She got Jonathan cleaned up, Anita prayed, and I got Jonathan calmed down. But on the drive back to Athens, I began to get concerned that maybe he had hit his head. He was acting strange and sleepy. I too was feeling so sick and not safe driving. Eddie felt we needed to head to Dr. Saji's office and make sure Jonathan didn't have a head injury. Sure enough all was well and we ended up with just some ugly scratches. Mom on the other hand ended up with a horrible strep infection. I'll tell you that story in another post....

Court of Honor

Jonathan had a ball at Isaac's Court of Honor playing with the Nelson kids. I have no idea what he was doing ... but he managed to get the other kids to "play."

Isaac and Lucas organized this CofH and did a great job. They had the gym set up like a campsite.

Visitors

The kids and I stopped at Foster and Margaret Bohannon's one evening on our way home. The guys were away at Scouts so we had some extra time. Foster and Margaret were so sweet to show the kids the cattle. Jonathan loved watching Foster feed. And Rachel Ann just loved Margaret!!

Streams in the Desert

Godly council and encouragement from unexpected sources ... just like my Father to send just what I need at the precise moment.

A book from April ...

Encouraging words from Evan last night during meeting...

And a reminder from Laiel this morning of God's provision and faithfulness.
