Day 119 {Morning Bike Ride}

By the time I was out of bed, and James was leaving for work, the kids had eaten breakfast, and James got them outside to ride the bikes, in their pajamas.
Erik is giving up the tricycle it would seem. :)

Day 118 {Runners and Braid}

On the day before - when it was one of those super hard "mommy" days, a sweet friend, rescued me.
She took the two sweethearts for a couple hours, so I can quickly catch up on my piles of work.
And she took them shopping - getting them both these cute runners, socks and headbands for Katie. (and potted flowers for me)
I felt so blessed, so undeserving, and so grateful to God for giving me friends that pick me up, when I fall down, help me with perspective so I can keep on...
"Something different", is what she wants with her hair. :)
So, I'm trying. :)

Day 117 {Asleep in a Cradle}

 
During naptime, I went into Katy's room, but she wasn't there. Strange.
Checked another room, but she wasn't there either.
Even though, you know she has got to be around, close by, I got worried.
And then. I found her.
Sleeping in the nursery - on her doll cradle she brought with her.
Amazing how she slept in it for so long, before stretching out on the floor.

Day 116 {Blank}

Day 115 {Mom's Birthday}

Mom's birthday at "The Egg and I" Diner.
We had planned to be all together for supper that evening, but that morning it was switched to a breakfast out. Amazingly, most of the family made it, and we had a lovely breakfast.
The birthday woman and Dad.
Katie and Uncle Rob
Mark and Nel - sooo glad she's home for the summer!
Brad and Di.
Since I was taking the pictures, someone had to pose with James. :)
Sweetheart.
Doesn't he make you smile?
Sweet Elita.

Day 114 {Nope}

Busy Sunday - forgot to take a shot. :)
A day full of fellowship, lunch at the "Windmill" (Mom & Dad's new home) and junior church.

Day 113 {Take Two}

Finally started doing some landscaping... so fun, and quite exciting.
We did some lovely brick work, and when we were finished, we stepped back, and realized that we made it to shallow - to close to the house. So, we did another take. :)
Katy in my old cap. :) And looking just as ruffian looking as I did.
Erik playing street hockey with the neighbor boy.
And Laura keeping watch over us all.
