Busy week!

This week has been super busy! Nate has swim lessons at 9am, and Kyle and Ian have lessons at noon. Then, Nate and Kyle are going to a VBS in the evenings. And, as I write this Mike is still at work, it is 10:28pm, and he has been there since 5am this morning. Oh, I am really, really praying that something will change soon in the job department. I would appreciate some major prayer in this area. Go ahead, you can pause and pray right now.......Thanks blogger friends!

Today was also a very special day because my good friend Kecia came for a visit. I haven't seen her in 2 years and let me just tell you, that is entirely, entirely too long. We have been friends now for 9 years. Wow! What an awesome encouragement she is to me. Nate and Kyle took pictures for us, but the camera is in the van right now and I don't feel like going to get it. So, for today, I am posting a picture of us from a few years back. I am very sad to say that I just figured out that I don't have a picture of Kecia holding Nathanael as a baby. She was supposed to be "on a leg" -if you know what I mean- when I delivered Nathanael; she's that good of friend. But, after 30 hours of labor (Kecia was there about the last 26 hours of that...through the night with NO SLEEP...WHAT A FRIEND!!), Nate came by emergency c-section and only Mike could be in the operating room. She is, however, in a whole lot of video from the hospital. Anyway, here is a picture that was taken at her house in June of 2004. We had already lived in Maine for a year and went back to Idaho for vacation. Sitting on the couch is Ann, fellow blogger Jackie,, me holding Kyle, age 11 months, with baby #3 in my tummy but didn't know it, and Kecia, holding her daughter Rebecca.

I am hoping that we won't go another 2 years before we see each other! I love you Kecia!!
