Weekend

I made it :) I picked my niece up on Friday. We made Flubber, watched Barbie and the Diamond Castle, and then headed to bed. Saturday started bright and early at 7:40am. I made pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast. We chilled for awhile with Ice Age the Meltdown and did a little bit with her webkins. Then, we got some things at the store to make banana bars and a crafty aquarium project. She worked on making cards while I showered and packed. We then drove her home. She talked and talked and talked the whole ride home! I hung out with Sandy Saturday night which was a lot of fun. I haven't really spent much time with her for quite awhile, so we just sat and talked about life. You need that every once and awhile. On Sunday, mom and I went on a walk before heading to church. My brother, Luke, was preaching and I wanted to hear what God had been saying to him. It was a great message about accountability. I was so glad I was there to hear it. We had lunch at church before heading back for the kids' naps. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Kendra (one of my Kentucky friends) was back in town visiting her parents, too. I went to see her, her husband and their 2 month old baby. It was great. I am now at home, relaxing with The Amazing Race.

During all this, Jeremy has been at a youth leader's conference here in Columbus. He goes all day and comes home to sleep at night. I have no idea how this is going since I have yet to see him for more than 10 minutes on Saturday morning. I'll let you know later.

On a different note, I have a situation that I would really appreciate your prayers. My cousin and her husband were pregnant and expecting on June 3. They delivered, however, this past week. Their little boy, Owen, is only 26 weeks. He came out breathing, weighing 2 lbs, 4 oz, and measuring 14 inches. He has to remain in the NICU til his delivery date, and he has the normal complications of a premie of 26 weeks. Please keep this family in your prayers. God knows what is best, but they need to feel his love and healing hand in amazing ways in the months to come. Thanks.
