Happy tenth birthday Neil!
Today was lots better than yesterday. I slept until almost 8:00. That felt nice. The weather has been delightfully cool with rain off and on today. It almost feels like we live in the pacific northwest. I wouldn't want this weather every day, but a day like this every week would be terrific.
Ella and Annie came over for a while this morning while David and Lisa looked at a house for sale in Springville. The house was wonderful, but the neighborhood was not. They were pretty disappointed.
We cleaned the Church today. After being mostly unused for the last two months, there wasn't much to clean. We cleaned the windows and spot-checked a few other things, but it was mostly perfect.
We did chores at the house and then Dad, Mom and Randy came over for Neil's birthday pie. After enjoying pumpkin and chocolate pie I cleaned up the kitchen while others started playing an animal guessing game. I joined shortly after they started.
Julie and I went shopping to get some stuff to build a chicken coop. We still need to get some 2x2's and wire mesh. Hopefully we'll get that done next week.
Abbie and I made chicken noodle soup and cornbread for dinner. It was amazing. Then we played freeze tag for half an hour before beginning the bedtime routine.
Thankful: I am grateful for rain, especially when the rain comes with thunder.
Ministering: We ministered to David and Lisa by watching their kids today. It wasn't a big thing, but I hope it was helpful for them. I think they're going to take a break from house hunting for a while. One thing I have learned – when it is right, you need to do it. But if it's not right, there is no point in looking. We have looked when the time wasn't right and when it was. Things worked out just fine in both circumstances.
More later…
Playing freeze tag, we were all frozen
