Sunday and Monday...

Sunday mornings there are slow and relaxing, as their meeting schedule starts mid morning instead of the 9:30 that we are used to at home. (Which really isn't that early if we get to bed Saturday night.) :)

"Good morning Bubby" :)

 (I love the soft light in this one)

Some time for stories :)

And snuggles...

And enjoying a large herd of about 11 -13 deer that meandered through the back yard. Only got two of them on camera, as they did hide down in the brush when they noticed us in the windows.

Sunday was a lovely time of fellowship and fun as we happened on a fellowship Sunday that included their annual Sunday school treat!

As we left after the gospel meeting we were treated to this amazingly huge fiery orange full moon! Of course pictures don't capture it well.

 

 Monday we awoke to a beautiful morning that actually felt like Spring!

 

 The kids enjoyed a slow start after a busy weekend.

(One of our bookworms.)

Before we kicked them outside to enjoy what they could of the lovely weather as the forecast said the next day was going to have an almost negative wind chill!

 Jadon having a chat with his Mommy.

 Such little tiny hands. :)

 And then a chat with Gramma Jo ...

 Gramma's are so funny sometimes. :)

And pretty special too! :)

Sadly a trip to town was in order, inspite of the beautiful weather calling us to come outdoors and enjoy. SO with 6 children and 3 adults we piled in the Suburban, dropped off lunch for the guys at the office, and away we went to the "big town" about 20 minute away. I had the camera but there are no pictures, speaking to the slight absentmindedness such an occasion brings on. :) It was fun, really, we stopped at Wendy's for lunch and of course frostys. Then Aunt Sus directed us over to the Walmart where all shopping is done in those parts. (not entirely, there are a few other options, but not really for groceries) :)  Then between nursing babies and energetic children, and birthday shopping, we made it through Walmart and back home,

and we all survived to tell the story. :)

That evening, of which I once again failed to get any pictures, we enjoyed the hospitality of Zac and Michelle and family again. It was a fun time of food and fellowship and that ended with hymn singing with two instruments to accompany us. A very fun time!  

So that was days 4-5 with one more to go!
