Jill and Peirce Get to Live

Yesterday my kids decided to take my digital camera to the park to take some pictures. They asked permission to do it. My mistake was I didn't check on the camera when they returned. Today I needed it today and couldn't find it. Jill
swore she brought it home and put it on my desk. We've looked high and low. Finally Allen came home for lunch. On his way back to the office he went by the park and found a sign taped to the bench that said someone had found a digital camera
and to call to claim it.

My blood pressure is still a little high.....but I think I will let
them live.

Earlier I had told them that they couldn't watch TV or play on the
computer until it was found - even if took until they were 12. Peirce, who is 5, said, "Is that after I get baptized?" Jill responded that it was way after. He flopped on the floor and said, "Oh no!! I'll probably be DEAD by then!"

Kids!!!

David and Crystal's Wedding

Last weekend was the great Uncle David's wedding. We now have the great Auntie Crystal to go with him....so now they're even greater. :0) It was really a great day...and I dare say, one of the best weddings I've been to!

Here are some of the little darlings in their cute wedding outfits:



This is Peirce and one of his favorite cousins - Claire:

...and of course, the bride!

Summer

Well, summer is moving along nicely. After coming home from Raymond Jill and Peirce were really happy to be at home and have some quiet time.

I have discovered that if I sleep 10 hours a night then I can avoid throwing up. Works like magic. I sometimes have a bit of a lie down during the day. Personally, it's not easy to sleep that much. I quite relish the time alone when my kids are in bed - but I also prefer not to feel too nasty - and it's nice to have discovered that little trick. It's just not to easy to learn how to simplify and cut back on things in life!
