Monday found me feeling pretty congested and on the couch in the afternoon. I did get the kids to gym and the library. Thankfully dance is over until the first of the year. I picked up a copy of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers at the library.
My main goal after lessons was to get the laundry under control and to make dinner. I managed both. Plus, I read another Laura Ingall's Wilder book, By the Shores of Silver Lake. There is nothing like a good book when you are under the weather. I picked up a copy of Little Town on the Prairie, too for when I finish that book.

Wednesday was a historic day for our family. Both Trevor and Grace were baptized! I am sorry that I did not get their testimonies on video, but I did get the actual baptisms. 20 children were baptized, all the fruit of AWANA. Grace was baptized by one of the leaders of AWANA. He has known Grace for a long time.
I cry each time I watch these!
Thursday I took a walk with a good friend in the 22 degree weather. Brisk! Then the kids and I went to the grocery stores. The house was suffering from "dropping syndrome." You know, "dropping syndrome" is when everything is dropped where it falls and stays there for several days. I lost steam in the afternoon, though. I did not get as much done with school as I hoped. I had to take a nap! We will make up for it tomorrow. One fun thing was going Christmas shopping in the evening while the kids were at karate. I am glad that we are about done with shopping.
Friday is finally here! We must finish our lessons in the morning. In the afternoon we'll spend a little time getting ready for flock group, meeting here.
This weekend, we may go to Christmas on the Prairie. It depends on the weather. Sunday we get to go to a special Christmas concert in the evening with Keith and Kristyn Getty! My mom and I got to hear them in Chicago a couple years ago. I can't wait!
Happy Weekend to you!

Oh Jenn, I burst into tears too after Grace's baptism and what an honor to have Jeff preform the baptism of Trevor. I like how everyone shouted "Hallelujah!" :). Was that your pastor baptizing Grace? So was that during chapel time at Awana? About how many were baptized? Sweet memories! ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteThe baptisms are so sweet. What a blessing to be sure.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good week overall. I'm glad you are feeling better. I hope you have a fun, blessed weekend.
