Sunny Sunday

Here is how our family "rolls". We need to get a "Wide Load" sign!
A pretty resting place. My favorite -- Weeping Willows, and water. I just love it! :-)
Sammi playing by the river
Daniel kept throwing rocks, and he almost got me in the head! We are working on aim!!
CHEESE!
Mom and Daniel-Boy :-) Notice the flower in my hair. It was a gift from Daniel, and that is where he placed it. So sweet. :-)

The Three Geeks. :-) My older sister use to call us younger 3 children "the geeks". She even made a sign at YW's camp that said, "The Geeks Room". When we asked her what "geek" meant she said, "It means, I love you!" Thanks Kary!
I am ready for my year worth of hugs Grandma and Grandpa!! :-)
William says, "Yes master, what is thy bidding?"
Mom and Sammi-Sunshine

Mom and William Turner. My little Pirate is working on his fierce look. Argh! :-)

Lounging in the sun. Ahhh. . . this is the life!

Sammi is squeezing the love out of William :-)



Today was a beautiful day! We spent much of the day outside. It was just the perfect temperature! It was a lovely Sunday. We took a long walk down to the river, and threw some rocks in the water. We threw softly (of course) it was Sunday! :-) It was just such a lovely day to enjoy God's glorious creations! We walked and walked, and came home a bit crisp, but happy. :-)

Yesterday, Daniel had a heck of a day! First we decided to go to the school to let the kids ride their bikes. Charles tuned up their bikes and got them all ready to go. Sammi's bike was working great, but Daniel's bike was too small, and the chain kept falling off (time for a new bike). He was pretty sad about it. Then we got home and Sammi and Daniel decided to swing on the hammock on our back deck. They are not actually suppose to swing on the hammock, but the so enjoy it! Anyhow, as Daniel was swinging, his bottom hit the deck, and so he came inside. He was crying, softly. Then he went in his room to change and he really started crying and saying he could not sit down. I went in to examine the problem (on his bottom) and I found that he had an extremely large splinter -- in his butt! OUCH! He was brave, but crying in pain. We tried our best to get it out, but there was no success. It had gone straight through his shorts, underwear, and deep under his skin! Weird! So, after reminding Charles (who had needles and tweezers in hand) that he is a doctor of law, and not a doctor of medicine -- we decided we had better find an Urgent Care, and get Dan some medical ass-istance. ;-) So, off Dan went with Charles to visit the doctor. When they returned home Daniel had Dairy Queen in hand, and a tube with his splinter. I was told they had to numb his bottom, and then cut the splinter out. Fun! Luckily, Daniel is tough, and proving to be our most medical-attention-inclined child! Sheesh!

Besides all of that silly business, we are all very well. We are loving this Spring. It has been a long time coming!

Lots of love!
