This past week has been a very long one. Andy worked 10-12 hours each day, not including his 1.5 hr commute each way, and 6 hours on Saturday. I had extra daycare kids because my very good friend Karla had her baby, so I watched our friend's girls that Karla also watches. We had late evenings and early mornings with extra kids and no Daddy. Our family was in some desperate need for family time.
We started the day yesterday with church. Not only was it great to see our new pastor in action, but the lessons and sermon were all about storms and how God is with us through them and will always be there for us. Yeah, we needed that. Mikayla was very talkative during the Children's sermon, relating how we need the rain for plants to grow, not all storms are bad, the lightning makes the grass green and the thunder is God bowling and/or telling us he's there. Oh yeah, she's been listening to us while we try to calm her and her recent storm anxiety.
After church we came home to nap, clean and hang out to watch the Brewers game. Then we brought the rest of our calves (8 of them) over to Andy's parent's house so we can make some improvements to the barn and hopefully get it cleaned and dried out (darn rain, again!). When we got home, we headed in to town for dinner and mini-golfing!
We had a lot of fun. Mikayla was starting to get the hang of it after the first few holes--it was hard for her to see us stand one way and then have it feel uncomfortable for her to stand the same way. Andy and I are both right handed and Mikayla is left, but we tried our best to help her and by the end of the evening she was able to hit the ball pretty well. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. Alayna and Lilly had a great time golfing and were old pros--Alayna even got a hole in one! After we were done, we had dinner at Dairy Queen, one of the girls' favorite places on earth! It was a great, low-key day that we all needed to recharge for this week.
