Tues., 7/25/23, Maddy and Brielle came over, Kimmy, Adam and Eli came over, Vikki, Peyton, and Isaac came over, Melissa and Bruce came over

Brielle really knew what to do in the barn today.  It helps that she can stand just hanging on with one hand

I left my phone where she could get it and she took some selfies lol

So Funny

Maddy came around 8:30 this morning.  Brielle was sleeping in the carseat, so we rode in her vehicle and went to get coffee at the Coffee Beanery.  It was delicious coffee.  I got milk at Pat's quickly too, so Eli would have the kind of milk he likes, not almond milk. Maddy and I drank our coffee and ate bagels while we visited. Brielle played in the barnyard.  

We had a good visit and some good prayer together.  Bill got home from his dentist appt. and played some with Brielle.  They left around 11:30 and after they went out to the car, Jack and Eli got up. They slept in because they stayed up pretty much most of the night.  I made them scrambled eggs, bacon and toast for brunch.  They sure have fun together and like hanging out with each other.  They did lots of ping pong playing today and lots of swimming.  Jared came when he got out of work. He took Adam to his soccer practice and Jacob drove himself to his band practice.   Everyone ate sloppy joes or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  We sat outside on the deck a lot.  Even though it was a hot day, it stays pretty cool on that corner of the house with the gazebo providing shade. The kids swam for a long time.  When they got out we all had drumsticks.  God sure is answering lots of prayers lately.  Sometimes it takes awhile, but God answers in his timing.  His way is best always.  The hen turkey came to visit right up close to the deck again tonight.  Vikki videoed it.  

Melissa and Bruce stopped over to pick up Jack.  She said Max was happy because they went to the Olive Garden today and he got his breadsticks. They visited for a little while, then left.  We will miss having Jack and Eli.  They are great kids and fun to have.  Kimmy, Jared and Eli left to go pick up Adam from practice.  The house became very quiet again.  Talked to Melissa on the phone.  Picked beans, another pepper and some tomatoes.  Also picked a big kolarabi.
