I’m so busy!  Yesterday was “zoo” day, I drove school kids to the Beardsley Zoo, over an hour away –for their last field trip.  It was fun and the Lord was merciful–no one got lost or hurt.   The children were so excited and happy all day, we even got to ride the merry-go-round.  I did have David and Caleb with me, too, and Caleb started getting a fever while we were there and he still has it.  He’s eating and drinking fine, but is very sleepy.  I think the whole big weekend did him in.  Amanda and Jason came with girls yesterday evening and took David to spend the night w/them last night.  It was so cute to see him go off w/them.

I wanted to mention Saturday and Sunday, as well.  We had our 50th anniversary as a church so there was a special meal and time of fellowship on Saturday.  Sunday service was different–we had no Sunday school, had a regular AM service, with a lunch following, and then an quick afternoon service.  It was a long day but such a blessing.  I really feel that our church is really coming together as a family.  I was so happy and felt such peace both Saturday and Sunday.  It was wonderful  to see Matt, who came to preach.  He also was able to come over to our house for a quick visit and a run w/Rich on Sunday afternoon.  He brought his camera and took pictures of the kids and my fiesta collection.   (we taught him well, LA!)

So, that leaves today, TUESDAY.  It’s the children’s last day of school and it’s a HALF day!  Amanda came over to drop off David, we visited for a little while and now that she’s gone I am in the process of cleaning the basement.  Had to stop for lunch, so that’s what I am doing as I type, eating a salami sandwich!  Caleb is sleeping and David is watching a video.
