We watched some more fun kiddos this morning. After they left we did some laundry including sheets. Delaney loves to do laundry, it's one of her 3 favorite chores - cooking, car washing, and laundry. She also enjoys being a mothers helper, oh be still my heart! On Sunday they had a lesson on 1 Nephi 3:7, "I will go and do the things the Lord commands," and she had to choose a chore that she would be obedient to do, and she chose mothers helper. LOVE.
This afternoon Dari and I met for lunch at Salsa's and talked welfare. It's the one thing about my calling that still really gets me, I still have so many questions and unease about it, but that's probably because I know it's so important. I'm grateful to have the Stake Welfare Specialist in our ward.
Addie, lanes, and I made a cheesy egg bake for dinner. Matt and I thought it was lovely, but the girls not as much.
Then this evening Alecia and I went and did some visits. In the rain. We got to 5 of the 9 sisters we'd hoped to do. 2 sisters had moved, and 2 weren't home, but we had 1 really good visit, totally the reason alecia came with me and that we went tonight. I love seeing God's hand so directly.
I've had Bubba on my mind a lot lately. I've been praying to know how to connect better with him, when to give him freedom and when to mom him. Tonight I came across a fun mom son journal (bought it), and also sent him a text telling him how much I love and miss him. He actually thanked me and said he'd had a really rough day. So then we had our longest phone call we've had since he became a college boy. Love, love, love.
Last week we went to pick strawberries. D and I got there before they opened, so then we went and checked out a fun park nearby.
There was no one else there and my little loner was in heaven.
She loves playing by herself! She is so much like me!
The weather lately has been so crazy. Hot, cold, hot, rainy, hot, cold, windy... anyhow, the strawberries were kinda slim pickings, but we managed to get several pounds and this weekend made some delicious freezer jam, and it all set!
Farm cutie picked a few, ate a few. She loves her some strawberries!
See?
It was such a hot day!
And there were several school classes there so it was crowded.
Before we left we checked out the animals. Charlie's Angels, these three are not.
But they are cute!
Our crew. It will be so crazy to be out of playgroup next year! We'll have to have more girls nights and maybe some weekend play dates.
Addie and Frankie are independent walkers, so if D and I dilly dally they often beat us home. I keep the house locked up tight, so this hot day they came in the garage and grabbed a drink out of the outside fridge. I thought they looked so cute chillin on the skateboard enjoying their juicies. And Addie was hot stuff in her new (to her) high tops.
