Sunday Blogging

Yes, you know when I blog on a Sunday, there must be a sick one in the house. Grace woke up late Friday night with a really high fever and then suddenly threw up...fun for us! So, she has spent the weekend in our bed sleeping. This morning she woke up with no fever, but I kept her home from church this morning just in case there are some little bugs still hanging around. If she feels better tonight, we will be off to church and her beloved bible hour!

Aaron's mom flew back to Gramps in Seattle on Friday afternoon. We had a great and very busy visit with her here. The house looks great now that there is some paint on the walls!! Aaron built a table for under the TV yesterday and it looks sooooo awesome. He is putting the final coat of poly on it today and we should have it in the living room tomorrow! He is so talented and really loves woodworking....something to do when you have a sick little one inside!

Fun weekend for the rest of us, though. Thomas and Sara Ritchie and the rest of their mission team that is going to Rwanda came and stayed at our house for the weekend while they met at the N. Richland Hills church for mission meetings. They have a great group and are going to be doing wonderful work when they get to Rwanda in Jan. 2009.

Also, my college room mate and dear friend, Shellie and her family were in town for some stuff and we finally got to see each other last night for a few hours. Not what we had planned, but we had a great time and enjoyed our visit even if it was short. Their little boy is sooooo cute and he and Sus had fun playing in the playroom while Grace had to rest in our room downstairs.

Now all the company is gone and I'm off to wash towels and sheets from their stay. It is great to have visitors!!

Aaron took Susie to church with him this morning. Since I was staying home with Grace, I decided to keep Parker here too, so Aaron decided today was a great day to wear his new suit! You know, baby drool and spit up don't go well with pin stripes!
