It's raining, it's pouring...

It
has rained all week - meaning ALL the children can't go and play - well
very much anyway. We have had our share of playing in the
rain. The kitchen floor certainly looks like we have all been out
playing in the mud! The dogs are damp and smelly, the garage is
frightful since that is where the dogs seem to want to be when then
can't be in and they can't be out. We have 3 dogs and a cat and are
keeping a friends dog while they are gone. Add to the animals the
4 younger children and a grandson who is here right now and you have
dampness everywhere. Will and Jenn and Dylan are with us yet this
week - their house should be ready this weekend to move into. We
have had so much fun together. I love having Jenn here - my younger
girls are great helpers but I had forgot, since Kate has been married 5
years now, now nice it is to have an older one around. Jr is home from
college on Fall break and the young man who is staying with us also has
a college friend visiting on fall break. We have a house full
(slept 12 here last night!) It has been great to have extra time with
Dylan. He and Gerrit have become such pals. I hope Gerrit
begins to see how Dylan watches him and does everything he does.
I have worried about it being different for our baby than the olders
but maybe his relastionship with his nephew with solve some of
that. As far as activity updates, soccer is almost over. This Saturday and then next and it is done. Then basketball can start. I'm not sure I'm ready but the girls love to play. Jr just returned from Nicuragua. It seems to have been a great trip. Now we have to get him ready to go to Thailand in January to student teach. Kate seems to be doing ok managing her lupus. Inflamation in joints is causing some trouble right now. Praying organs don't flare. Jason is busier at work which is good. Leah is loving pre-school and cubbies. Drew is being 2 all the way - quite the talker for a 2 year old boy. Lacey is a delighful little bug. Will & Jenn's house is looking terrific. Just a little trim painting to do and some bathroom work. We are all getting ready for Judgement House at church. |
