Catch-up

The first part of this week has been spent catching up. We have tried getting our sleep pattern right. Monday night was wierd. Lilia and Caleb couldn't go to sleep until about 1 am. Andrew and Micah woke up at about 1 am and could not go back to sleep until 4 am. Monday morning, after dropping the kids off at school, we went grocery shopping. Then we returned home and did some more unpacking. We picked the kids up for lunch and enjoyed the meal with them. They seem to have all enjoyed being back in school and seeing their friends. Monday afternoon, I went and bought a lawmower. Apparently there has been a lot of rain, because our grass was high enough to make hay. I shopped around a little, alternated between electric and gas, and finally settled on a model. I decided gas, because I would need the extra horse-power. I purchased the lawnmower (pictured), returned home, assembled, dis-assembled, re-assembled, and started mowing. It was a slow going process that ended up keeping me busy until supper. The yard does look a lot better. Tuesday, the kids took some Double Bubble to the kids in their class as a gift from America. It seemed to have gone over well. Lilia said she had to teach them how to blow a bubble. We stopped by and spoke with one of our friends who was checking the mail for us while we were gone. We had a good visit. I weeded the flower garden. We had some pretty flowers that I had planted as bulbs that were now blooming (pictured). I also cleared my email inbox most of the way. Drving back into town to get the kids, I picked up a hitchhiker, Sedric, (I'm not sure how to spell it), lives in Magrie, and I give him a ride at least once a week. I mentioned before we left that we would like to have him over to eat somtime and he seemed surprised. I was glad to see him again. He is probably in his early 20's. I hope that we can build a relationship with him, and share with him about Jesus. After supper, I was prepared to got to the Bible Study in Carcassonne, but found Angie asleep in her chair. She was in a deep sleep, so I stayed. She had a good nap, but ended up staying up late as a result. She is gone right now taking Caleb and Lilia to their swimming class. So I'd better check and see what Andrew and Micah are so quiet about. God bless, JASON

I don't remember. I did not recognize the names of any I planted. It does looks irisy, but the leaves are a part of the stalk kind of like a tulip.
