Weekend Update

We got a lot of outdoors stuff done. The garden is protected from the evil rabbits, the weeds are finally pulled from our front yard flower bed, and hubby spent some time fertilizing the lawn after I mowed it. Our yard has been an uphill battle since we moved in because of the state the previous owners left it in (or didn't, I guess since it had just fallen apart). The weeds are out of control with roots that are so deep we just can't get them out. Discouraging, to say the least! Jo and I can't even really play in the fenced in backyard because of the awful canadian thistles and dandelions.

And did I mention that Josie had a contact dermatitis rash on her arm? We have no idea what it is from, but it is being treated now. It also spread to her leg, and she looks pretty beat up. Poor girl is going on her second week with it which doesn't seem fair. Its so hard to know when to bring her in for something. Sometimes rashes go away and it's expensive to go to the doctor for something that they wouldn't even treat or we could treat on our own. Live and learn I guess.

We also went out to eat with Grandma and Grandpa Deyle on Saturday and again on Sunday night (just the three of us). Hubby is out of town for most of the week and I knew I didn't want to cook a huge meal and then have tons of leftovers around. Plus, we ran errands in the afternoon and just ran out of time to think about supper! It was nice to have a family outing even though I could hardly eat the food I got because I was so full off of the salad and bread that we get beforehand... good job Texas Roadhouse, everyone loves some good leftovers.


Church was wonderful. We're getting to know more people and seeing friendly and familiar faces is so encouraging. We just started studying the book of Colossians which is a great book, awesome for the next 14 weeks.


Josie took a three and a half hour nap on Sunday after church and another hour nap later in the afternoon. Amazing. 


I love spending time with my little family every once in a while. It's refreshing and we all seem so happy. It was a blessed weekend which is just what we needed as we gear up for busy busy weekends coming up.
