post wedding

I came home on Monday afternoon from some errands and came across this terrifying scene.  If Tilly was any kind of hunter Dandy would have been a goner.  See that little yellow bird sitting by the fireplace?

On Sunday we went to church.  The Brandts hadn't gone home yet and we got one more fun day with them.  After church we ate wedding leftovers and hung out in the hot tub.  Bob and Luann came down to visit and came to the reception, then over after church for leftovers.  It was fun to visit with them.  They are serving a mission in Fresno, which isn't very far from here, so that worked out great.  Also the Crawley brother's brought Rob a wedding gift.  They brought him a smoker, he was so happy and surprised!

I was really tired on Monday.  All the big events and excitement were over and I happily took a nap after getting the house back in order.  Thank goodness for Greg.  He spent so much time this weekend cleaning things and keeping order and taking care of the kids while we ran around doing wedding things.  He is an awesome dad and son and hubby.  Even though we don't live as close as I'd like I am glad we see each other enough that we can be family and not visiting strangers when we do get together.

Tonight the laurels and mia maids came over and we did some cooking together.  I taught them how to make chicken pillows, which were delicious and everyone loved them. Lynlee taught indoor smore bars (also delicious) and we used up the last of the Italian creme soda ingredients.
The beehives met with Sister Evans and at the end of the evening they surprised me with birthday cupcakes and a Happy Birthday serenade! So sweet!!



Emily had her baby last week.  A little boy they named Daniel.  Both she and the baby are doing poorly after the birth.  We are concerned and praying that everything will go well.

Cora, Jenna and Ruby

In some good news Cora and Ruby continue to improve! They are growing and getting stronger. I am so grateful and delighted.
