Oklahoma Company

We have company in from Oklahoma. Bro. Lee and Sis. Cherrie and their 3 kids are in. They have came out this far to stay 11 days, well 2 of those days are traveling time, really. We have stayed busy.

Saturday night they got in really really late. I was feeeling sick (morning sickness) and hit the hay so that I would be up to the next morning with everyone. They were great about it since they came in just in time to go to bed themselves. Den made sure they were comfy and set.

The next morning, we fixed waffles and visited. I felt pretty good, although not fantastic. I have to say in comparison to other mornings it went rather well. Then Bro. Sean came by and the three men took off to do a little shopping. Can you believe it? The guys left us girls and the kids behind to hit the department store.....hehehe We fixed some lunch and they went to church. I had planned on going, but I had a yucky feeling in my side all day and ended up having to lay down frequently. After church we had a huge crew over for dinner. We had our family (7), Lee and Cherrie (3 kids), Bro. Matt and Sis. Tisha (their 4 kids), Bro. Sean, and Bro. Walt over for supper. It went very nice. We had a HUGE pork roast stuffed with garlic and rosemary. (That was Den's doing, and he knows what he is doing when it comes to gigantic slabs of meat.) We had homemade mac and cheese, green beans, potatoes, carrots and Sis. Tisha brought over some homemade bread. Yum!

Later that night our older boys came home from a get together. They had a super time and brought home Andy for an overnight stay.

Monday morning Sis. Chantel came in. You see, Bro. Lee is her brother. She spent Monday and Tuesday with us. We really enjoyed her, and we did some singing and recording. As usual, it was very relaxed and enjoyable. After dinner on Tuesday, she headed back home and took her neice and nephew back home with her for a few days.

Today, I rested a lot. I feel really tired, but amazingly good with my morning sickness. I want to thank you all for the prayers. I was so worried about how I would be able to handle company with severe morning sickness, but the Lord has given me some relief. However, today I felt like an exhausted lump on a log.

River hurt his big toe in a scooter incident. He almost pulled off the nail and gashed it pretty good. It has been properly cleaned and will be well bandaged again before bedtime. God had a lot of mercy, but Den came home from work early to investigate the injury. So after we took care of River, us adults and Samuel (their baby) went driving around exploring the countryside, in hopes to persuade them to move here. They aren't budging in case any of you are curious......hehehe Nonetheless there is power in prayer and I'm praying like a hurricane.....LOL After our driving adventure Bro. Matt and Sis. Tisha invited them over for dinner, so that is where they are currently.

Friday night, Dale and Chantel are due back in for the weekend with the kids. I don't know how that will all unfold, but I'm sure I will keep you posted. For now, I'm sure you understand why it is that I am not posting like my typical, mad, woman, self.

Lots of love,
Trina
