Over, At Last!

Andrew arrived home this afternoon and so the week ends. Honestly, I don't mind him being gone during the day. I find myself being much more organized when he's gone, I think because I know I've only got myself to rely on. It's just very lonely. I can't call him during the day and even if I do email him, he doesn't usually have time to reply. And I hate being alone at night. Hate it.

So I'm very glad that Andrew is back home. Though he's come home full of ideas to go to eastern Europe on a missions trip this summer so I'm trying not to think of that!

Here's a picture of the kids making their own dinners earlier this week:

And we cleaned out the sandbox and put new sand in. Davey got his dump trucks out and gave the new sand a try.
We also dragged out the slides into the sun and reacquainted ourselves with them too.

Today Davey admired the paint job on the balcony pillars.

Elisabeth is SO much better today. If any of you have been praying for us, thank you! She is still not her usually bouncy, happy self, but she didn't grizzle as much either.

This is our hot dog stand ;)



Elisabeth dancing on the balcony.


And we brought up their little table so they could do some drawing at it during the day. They have also been having their meals at this table instead of the big one. They seem to like eating at a kid sized table better.



Elisabeth drew a flower.

And that's Davey playing in the grass under the sun. His eyes are so big because he's wearing sun glasses.

Andrew arrived home and the kids insisted on dancing through his legs. Be careful with that orange juice!

Too late! This is about 2 seconds before he emptied the entire glass on Elisabeth's head/face. WHOOPS!

After a bath and some new clothes, she was right as rain. See?


The end. Now, let's hope the sunshine sticks around for the weekend so we can enjoy some fun together!
