Busy

Hi everyone!!!! Sorry I haven't posted much recently. Problem is, there hasn't been anything to post about until Wednesday, and since then I've been so busy I haven't had time to post.

On Tuesday one of our friends had a baby!!! Her name is Esther, and she is so cute!

Because of Esther's birth, on Wednesday, some of us from the church went to the their house to clean. It's something we do every time a baby is born. We all go over to the person's house and do things like dishes, sweep, mop, things like that. We also put streamers all over the place as well as other decorations. It's a lot of fun.

On Thursday the Mama and baby came home from the hospital, and we went to bring them dinner. We got to see Esther in person, and she is such a sweet thing!

On Friday we went to my grandma's house. There was someone there that we hadn't seen for a year. Our aunt and cousins!!!!! They live in Doha, Qatar currently, but come to visit every year. They'll be here for about 2 months! Last year they were only here for 1 month. We had such a good time. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the camera inside with us :(  But since they'll be here for 2 months, I can guarantee that I'll have pictures.

On Friday afternoon we also went to some friends house. We haven't seen them for a LONG time, so it was such a nice treat to see them! They live only a few miles away, and have donkeys, turkeys, goats and chickens. I had a lot of fun with their oldest daughter.  I was showing her how to knit, and showing her one of my blankets that I was working on. Then we just sat on their porch and talked all night. It was so nice.

I love this picture.

On Sunday, we went to my grandma's house for Father's Day. We didn't celebrate Father's day last Sunday because now that my aunt and cousins are here, we wanted to celebrate it with them. It was a lot of fun, we went swimming, grilled, and just plain had a blast. Unfortunately, the only pictures are on my aunt's camera, so I have to ask her to send them to us.

Today we had a really nice surprise. Our friends the MacDonald's stopped by! Apparently they were in the neighborhood and stopped to say hi. They had perfect timing, because just as they came , we were in the middle of making lunch. So they had lunch with us, and then we played for a long time. Jonathan, Will, Hannah, Sarah and Lee were playing with Jonathan's Star Wars light saber, while I was teaching David and Wes to play chicken foot. (a domino game) 

(Sorry for the glare on this one)

Eventually people ended up watching a video that Jonathan and Hannah were working on making this morning.

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to get back on a regular posting basis. Okay?
