I like this picture of David and me together. Doesn't happen much these days. From Monday last week to Monday tomorrow he will have worked 120 hours...he doesn't get a day off until the next Monday. All he has time to do when he gets home is shower, eat something and go to sleep. He keeps a good attitude and perspective, but you can't get around being tired. We sure miss him.
Alec was up most all night with asthma coughing last night and this morning I was supposed to teach the 3 year olds Sunday school class. For some irrational reason I kept thinking that it would just work out - I hate to disappoint the girls who were all dressed and ready for church early this morning. Going to church makes Sundays go so much faster when David isn't coming home too. I finally realized that I could not wake that pooor boy who was finally sleeping soundly without coughing so I called someone who took my girls and my class. It was nice to have a quiet hour this morning. I wanted to sleep but cleaning up some serious mess without having more mess made as I was doing it won. I downloaded Allistair Begg's series on Contentment and listened (without interruption) while I worked. It was a good message and a timely one for me. The text was from I Timothy 6: "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, with this we will be content."

I finished most of my chores and the sermon, ignored the many many loads of laundry waiting to be folded in the living room and just lay down on the floor next to it since Alec was sleeping in my room. I am not joking - the MOMENT I lay my head down I heard a door open and the sound of small feet on the floor. He is feeling better today and we are hoping for sleep tonight.
At the end of April, beginning of May we made the trip out to the NW. Sure fun to fly into Portland on a clear day and see all of the mountains. The kids and I went first and David had to work a few more days and then drop in on a wedding Texas before he was free to come too. He had several days with us before he had to fly back to Ohio. It was alot of fun to see family and friends and this time even the place itself was refreshing to us. The cousins had lots of days and good times together.

We have more pictures of all the cousins but I can't find them right now...
I feel so blessed to be apart of the Copper and the Carne and the Taylor families. Anne and Pati and I came back 5 days before Jan and Alec came back with Kaytra. It was so much fun to have my sister for a visit. I hope she comes back soon.

This was Anne getting in some time with David on vacation. The day before he left work they assigned him a research paper that he had to present when he got back...he spent alot of hours on that project during vacation!
