Yesterday my little Ian woke up with his first cold. He was rather subdued and needed me most of the time, and it was hard to see him snuffly and gasping when he tried to nurse. Today he seems to be better and he is more his cheerful self. We missed his smiles.

Yesterday Vann and Vanessa moved out to their property! They have been working so very hard to get their garage enclosed so they could move in, and now it’s happened! And they are thrilled notwithstanding the fact that there is no electricity yet, or running water, or sewer, or telephone. And that’s where my hardships begin. I’m so excited for them that they are finally in their own place, but I feel like they’ve actually moved across the world now. For the past couple years they’ve had internet and telephone and I could call whenever I needed to hear her voice. Once again, and every day, I give them into the hands of God who alone can protect them and guide them. And I must remember that He answers whenever they call and I must watch and pray.

Seth woke up this morning with his croupy cough. Today he played just fine and was his energetic little self, but now he’s pretty pitiful. We’ve hung a towel up at the end of his bed to block the moonlight from shining in because he says he doesn’t like the green light of the moon. 🙂

Sunday afternoon Peter let me have a nap even though he had homework to get done. I’m so appreciative for the nap, and these pictures are great! Peter’s getting really good!

As soon as school work was done this morning the boys dashed outside to play in the mud. It’s a cloudy day and it smells like rain. Jerome comes running back in to tell me “It smellses like Georgia out there!” 🙂

That’s the awesome lens we rented for the wedding on Sat. We have to take it back in the morning, so the boys and I played around with it today.

Here’s our day in pictures.

Ian fell asleep in my arms while I post-processed wedding pics this afternoon.

I took the boys out for another overalls and barn shot now that Ian can look at the camera.

If you’ve called my house recently you’ve probably talked to Jerome, he loves answering the phone!
