Happy Day After Valentine's Day!

Tonight's picture collage is a combination of yesterday's pictures and a couple from today. Be sure to note the top left corner picture...our child prodigy is now reading a naptime story to Goosey! It was so funny, that I had to run for my camera, when I discovered Elijah perched on Woody's knees just looking at his book and watching a bit of PBS and Woody just dozing away.

Goosey, Elijah and Joy got up quite early this morning. Esther and I slept in a bit longer. Woody got breakfast for everyone. Then we had a leisurely morning...the children stayed in jammies till after lunch...but there was a good reason for doing that. They were going to go over to friends for supper so that way their clothes would still be clean when it was time for them to go! Of all the days for Elijah to decide to skip his afternoon nap...the first time that he hasn't taken at least two naps a day since they started staying with us. Oh, well, he was still going when he got home. Esther is the one who fell asleep before she got home! Elijah seems to be cutting a tooth as he is drooling to beat the band...everything gets soaked from his pillow to the fronts of his clothes. Elijah and Woody went for a walk this afternoon...they saw horses, dogs, and a bulldozer at work. After Woody put Elijah down for his supposed nap, Woody and the girls walked around the block. Then they came in and had a quiet time of watching PBS till it was time to head out for their supper date! They had a great time and it was nice to have a bit of a break for several hours! Woody walked to church for his time in the prayer room and walked back home before it was time to go pick up the children. I had jammies all ready for them to hop into when they got home. And, now all is quiet on the western front. Two more sleeps after tonight till Mommy, Daddy, Graham, and Abigail come home.
