Life. Is. Busy.

Well, apart from working at the ranch this week, I was helping to get our house ready for a three-way-graduation and an 85th birthday celebration.

Saturday Morning:
We started baking pies, and decorating.

Sarah was there, even though I don't have a picture with her yet... :)

Saturday Evening:

Kelsey and me

Susanna and me

Surprisingly, I only got one picture at the graduation - so if any of you out there got some, I'd love to see them! I'm so blessed by all the people God has surrounded me with. They have blessed me in so many ways.

Sunday Afternoon:
We celebrated my Grandma's 85th birthday - Chinese food from Safeway (the best!) and chocolate sodas made it complete.

Grandma Nancy

The soon-2-be birthday girls
(THEY ARE GONNA BE 9!!!)

We also celebrated Meg and Maddie's birthday that will happen later this week. They are excited to go to Exodus Books later this week to find some fantastic books to read this summer.

Fun suitcases from Grandparents!!

Monday Morning:
I got an e-mail from the family I will be staying with in Russia. I will be starting the visa process very soon - like this week.
Wow - this has been a crazy year! I have been so blessed by God.

Week of the Fourth

This week has been a bit busy. I am glad to report that Mumsie returned home and Emily and I have reverted back to the roles of "Sisters" instead of "attempted-substitute-mother" position. We had fun, but now things are normal again.

A couple of things-
#1. This young guy got his 1860s costume for the baseball game coming up. Doesn't he look great?
