it was bound to happen

The time was 4:00 am on Saturday morning. The loud crying came from Jake's room. He had fallen off of his big boy bed and wedged himself between the bed and the wall. Mark picked him up and put him back in the bed. It seems the bed moves around on the hardwood floors when Jake moves. I think he may be getting a clue that he is not in a crib anymore.

David, Erika, and Lucy are in Wisconsin doing summer camp with his youth group. He called just now to say all is well and that they have a good place to sleep......Lucy has her own little room to sleep in. Of course she is the little darling of camp and spends much of her time in the hands of the students.

When Amanda was here Jake's bed was put in our big bathroom so that we could shut the door and turn on the overhead fan. He was in virtual seclusion. Sometimes we put Eli in the other bathroom. Holding "it" until the babies woke up was always a running joke.

As our family has always loved to "hole" up together in one room, this was nothing new. It's called "sacrificing for the good of the cause." When our grandkids visit there is always at least one of them stuffed into a closet or a bathroom somewhere.

After church and a quick lunch at home today it got very dark and started raining.....the potential for a wonderful nap became very real......and it was a great one.

Amanda and I went the whole time she was here like racehorses and workhorses having fun and keeping up with the boys. My body has been catching up on its rest this weekend. It's back on 95 again for me on Wednesday so this is good.

For this and so much more I thank the One who makes it all possible!
