Shopping Day

I got to spend most of my day shopping.  It was wonderful to be with Annie and Macy all day.  The littler ones stated at Grandma Sherri's.  We were getting supplies for the girl's Lockin that Annie is putting on next week.  That kind of crept up.

We also had the joy of visiting Pastor Brett and Naomi in the hospital.  She is on bedrest as they await the arrival of their first child.  They are wonderful, Godly people.  It is good to have friends like them.  We are praying that all goes well for them as I am sure many others are.

Leon and I got the engine moved into the barn for the tine being.  Once it gets warm out we will tear out the old one and install it.  It will be a huge learning g experience for me.  I am not much of a motor head.  I think I ha e the aptitude for it, but I have never been taught.  Here we go.  Scott will he to be very patient with me.

Tomorrow is preseason baseball practice.  I think we will have a pretty decent team this year.  It is always hard to tell.  We do have a lot more experience this year than the last two.  I am not going to be quite as involved this season.  We are having our 5th child within the next month.  I am going to only be minimally involved this year.  I have mixed feelings about it.  I know I will really miss being there every day with the team.  I will also be very blessed to be able to be home with my family more in the summer.  We are so busy all the time it will be nice to be able to be with Annie and the kids more.  Maybe the garden will b manageable the more that I'm home to help.  Maybe we will have enough wood for the winter before December this time.  It will be an adjustment but also a great blessing.

Sunday I think we are going to venture down to Scott's church in Cedar Rapids.  He has been inviting us for months.  I think it may actually work this week.  Next week we pick up our world tour again with a trip to Aplington Baptist.  Church hopping is a very interesting experience that i will have to expound on in another post.
