Dreary Week

It's been really dreary this week and kinda cold.  John has still been able to go outside, but his fingers are always cold when we come in.  We were outside weeding this morning in my flowerbeds by the house.  When we moved to the one near Olue's window, I heard crying.  John was not happy to have to come inside early because the baby woke up early, but he got over it.

7 of the 10 graduates that I invited showed up last night for the Sr. Supper and all went well.:)  Now my next big thing at the church is Vacation Bible School.  We're doing May 23-26.  Laura, one of the girls that graduated from New Salem a couple years ago, is coming home to help me out.  I'm really happy about that.  She helped me last summer, and it was so nice!  Our theme is "Learning to Live like the Saints".  I bought a saint book this spring with REALLY good/easy to read stories about the saints.  That was kind of my inspiration.  I hope the kids learn something.  I've been reading St. Therese's autobiography "The Story of a Soul".  She was my Confirmation saint and her book is very inspiring to me.  I get a chance to read for a few minutes everyday while I'm nursing Lu Lu right before she goes to bed for the night.  She's the least distracted at that time of day and Josh and John have just gone outside for the evening.

As always, the weekends start here tonight.  We have another busy weekend of gardening planned.  We are going to transplant the cool season plants...cabbage, cauliflower, etc.

Here is Johnny with a bandaid on his nose.  He got a scratch on it last weekend, and it opened up the other night while Josh and John were playing.  Josh put the bandaid on and Johnny left it alone while we were outside, but as soon as we got in, he noticed it again.:)  His nose is all healed up now.

Johnny was nice enough to share is "Tactoh" for a little while yesterday.  Olue just loves watching Johnny play by her.  It's really cute to watch them interact.  He came over to her today, while she laid on her back on the floor and patted her tummy.  She just smiled at him the whole time he was sitting by her.

I think Olue might start to roll over pretty soon.  She rolled up onto her side a couple times yesterday, but I couldn't coach her through the rest of the roll.  Daddy might be able to this weekend, though.

It's time for Lu Lu to get a bath now.
