We’ve been fighting off the ick around here. It started in the kids as (what I thought were) just little allergies. Now, they both have full blown upper respiratory infections. BOO. We’re going to see some VERY important little people next week so we must, must, must be well! Pray for us, would ya?!
****************
My to-do list to be able to leave and see those VERY important little people is a little extensive, ahem.
This is it. It’s taped to the bedroom door. It touches the floor. And doesn’t include the basic things such as packing/snacks/cleaning/baking. Come on supernatural mom powers!

Wryder hasn’t had much appetite lately thanks to the ick. He did, however, master some fork skills yesterday.
Green beans on a fork are way better than green beans with your fingers, just sayin’…

We have a new bucket calf around the place. Sawyer named him Fuzzy and he is doggone CUTE!
He may have to find another place to live thanks to our cross country road trip but for now, he’s a lot of fun!

In the past two years, our yard has gained some pesky little visitors. IF we had sod everywhere and IF they weren’t so cute, we’d have already eradicated these little boogers so they didn’t completely destroy the place.
They’re quite fun to watch but they sure don’t let you get too close. I’ve tried to sneak Sawyer out there several times with no luck. She’s set up a spy shack in the playroom to catch a glimpse of them out the window. We’ll see how it goes.

Sawyer is in looooooooove with the story of Cinderella. She recently discovered that we had the book and I can’t count the number of times we’ve read it. She now has it memorized, voices and all. It’s pretty impressive! I’m thinking her Goo Goo is gonna think that’s the bees knees…

July is one of my favorite cow-buying months…because they don’t buy a lot of cows. 🙂 We get Wrexy to ourselves for 14 out of the next 16 days. Well, I mean we’ll share him a little bit with the rest of the fam, including these sweeties.
The boys are doing soooooo well…miraculously well! I can’t even begin to tell you all of the ways the Lord has poured out His favor on these five. We can not WAIT to officially meet them and cuddle them and physically witness the miracle they are. He is good and what He does is good.
****************
We’re headed up to pack Sawyer’s suitcase. Poor kid has only asked about it everyday for about 10 days now. She’s a little excited. So we’re gonna pack and clean house and hopefully sneak in a nap…and pray that the tornadoes stay away for the day. Then we gotta tackle the rest of that to-do list. WE CAN DO IT!
