Our Vacation. Part One-Father's Day

We arrived in WA on Thursday night. We spent Friday and Saturday visiting with my mom and stepdad and Julia. On Sunday we started off to see my dad and step mom. Being that it was Father's day I was really excited to actually be with my daddy. Mike's son and DIL and the grand kids were camping. It worked out well because it was right on our way to see my daddy. I was very pleased that Eric got to spend some time with his dad on FD too. Here are just a few pictures from that day.. I was doubly pleased that Julia came with us too.

Ladies Meeting

 We had a nice ladies meeting on Saturday. Mrs. Randall gave a good spiritual object lesson on how we can let life shape us. She used a hard boiled egg-to show how we can become hard and unchanging, not allowing God to work in our lives. . She used a cooked carrot to show how we can be come spiritually soft and weak . And finally, coffee grounds mixed in water to show how we can be blended and mixed well in our lives-allowing God to constantly change us.

Then later my "adopted son" and Brandon did an experiment. They taped Brandon to the table to see if he would hold if the table was tipped up. It worked. LOL.. Boys are so strange. LOL. These two are carbon copies of each other. It is fun and exhausting to watch them play.

My 'daughter' Mackenzie watches. I wonder what is going on in HER mind. LOL

Work Day At Church

Today was a fun day!! Even though we worked and worked we had a good time. We cleaned up, toys, and lights and bathrooms and walls and the list just goes on and on. There is still some work to be done but our church sure looks great!

A Few Steps Forward. Several Steps Back

Day 6. He is not rebounding like I had hoped. We seemed to be making progress on Sunday. By Monday he was feeling rough. Last night he had a bad night. He woke up at 2 am crying and in pain. It took 15 mins to get him calmed down and back to sleep. He slept till 10:15 this morning and woke up crying and in pain again. This time I gave him some pain meds. He has toughed most of all this out w/o pain meds. He's only had 4 doses since last Wednesday. That is better than I would have done.
