Up to speed...

Ok, so I thought I'd catch-up on the last few weeks. Here it goes....

Uncle Aaron FINALLY made it home! The kids are so happy. he came over the last night and read a few books to them...they were in heaven!

Mommy got to get away. I went with some other ladies from church to Wallowa Lake for our Women's Ministries leadership retreat. It was much needed. I had spent the previous couple of days very ill with the stomach flu...including a trip to two separate hospitals. The Lord truly blessed me with a weekend of relaxation and retreat. It was so nice to not only hear myself think, but to be able to be open and available to hear from the Lord. Bonus, our cabin or should I say, elite lodge...was incredible.

Preschool is in full-swing. I am completely loving helping in Jeremiah's class this year. Ms. Chrissy is doing such a great job! The kids are so much fun, not too mention a little hilarious!

Our little cowgirl finally got her ride. Alison had been begging to ride a horse or a pony, it made no difference, for quite some time. I was happy to see a pony-ride place downtown during the Round-up...and it was reasonably priced! Not only did she get to ride a pony, but she got to ride two! The first one she was on had a little attitude problem, so she got to switch. Needless to say, she thought that she would get to ride them all and all day! She was so funny, I had my hand in the small of her back while she was being led and she started wiggling and mumbling something. When I asked what was wrong, she informed me that she didn't want me to touch her back....she's quite the independent cowgirl!

Last, but not least, here is a pic of me and my prego baby-belly. I apologize for my appearance....I waited until the end of the day and I look a little worn!
