Our Week/Weekend.

We had a really good week last week. I found out on Tuesday that my iron was/is low, so after getting on a mega dose of iron, I have felt like a new person! It's been amazing! Life was just feeling like a chore. I had headaches everyday and just felt lousy. Anyway, I'm just really thankful to be feeling better!

On Wednesday the kids and I went to the library and then took Pawpaw a vanilla milkshake. We were so proud of him for nearly drinking the whole thing! He seemed to be doing ok and I know he loved seeing the kids. 

We went over to my parent's for supper on Thursday night. My brother, Jer, was leaving the next morning to start seminary in another state, so it was kind of a going-away supper for him. We already miss him a ton, but we are so proud of him following God's calling on his life.

Levi sat and did this puzzle with Papaw for the longest time.

Jacob had opera rehearsals/performances all week so the kids and I were on our own in the evenings. We played outside several cooler evenings. Lily and Levi "exercised" on their balls. So funny!

On Saturday, Jacob had a rehearsal in the morning, so I took the kids to the farmer's market and to the grocery store. I was thrilled with the yummy stuff we got at the farmer's market - cantaloupe, tomatoes, okra, pears, and a aloe vera plant. I man also gave Lily and Levi apples to munch on. 

At the grocery store, we met my Mom in the produce department. She offered for Lily to shop with her for a little while. Then we met up and Levi had a turn. It was fun!

Saturday afternoon Mom kept Lily and Levi while Asher and I went with Jacob to a retirement party for the previous youth orchestra conductor (Jacob took his place as the main conductor last year). We had a great time and of course everyone loved playing with Asher. :)

Sunday was a good day! We had church and then ate dinner with Jacob's family. Jacob had to rush off to the final opera performance, but the kids and I went and visited Pawpaw for a few minutes. We couldn't stay long because it was way past nap time and we had some cranks going on, but I think Pawpaw enjoyed seeing the kids. 

The kids took really good naps and I cleaned the house. Poor Asher was fussy pretty much the whole time at evening church, and completely wore me out! My family came over to our house for supper. Jacob had a play rehearsal after the opera, so he didn't get home until 9 or so. It was around 10 when everyone left and Lily and Levi begged Jacob to read them Little Bear before bed. :)
