Faring Just Fine

We heard from David and Dad ... they are in Guatemala and have put in two days' work so far, with some concrete work and begining stages of the roof. It sounds, from his VERY vague note, that they are having a nice time. I guess we'll get the unabridged story later :) He sent me a text message tonight, which made me smile ... yep, I'm a dork!

The girls and I are doing okay, a few of the regular (as of late, anyway) tantrums, but nothing we couldn't handle ... Erin fell asleep under her bed today which was funny, but challenging, as I had to leave for UC leadership meeting, and had to drag her out from under there. What a nut! Avery is missing daddy, and keeps looking for him on his side of the bed in the mornings, and calls out "Da!" when the door opens in the afternoons. It's cute. I know she'll give a good response when he arrives on Sunday. Erin had a sad evening Saturday, as she was really missing daddy. Grandma got out a box of pictures from when David was growing up, and as we looked through them, she gave Erin two of his senior pictures. It's not what he looks like now, but his eyes and smile are the same, so it was enough for her. She was pretty pleased to have them, and cradled them all the way home. We had a fun day playing outside today, and soaking in some sun! It felt so nice and refreshing to sit in the sun with the breeze tickling our faces and arms. Spring is on its way!

We are going out to Athol for a bit this week, leaving tomorrow. Grandpa has three brand new babies in his lot (calves!), and one in the barn that was just born tonight. Erin will LOVE that, and it's supposed to be really nice weather while we're there, so I'm hoping for some good "farm time" for her! I know Avery will enjoy showing off her new skills too, as well as her two teeth! We will celebrate her birthday, Grandma's birthday, AND Great Grandma Boeck's birthdays while we are out there. Fun times!

Well, as before, thank you for praying for all of us this week. We notice, and appreciate it!
