Hey there!

I haven't posted anything for a very long time. I guess I've been so preoccupied
with other things. I have a hard time staying inside when it's been so nice out.

CHURCH
We are hosting church at our house tomorrow since 2 of the larger families in our group are going to Auburn for a baptism. Our house is so tiny, so it is a little bit impractical to have church here. If it's nice out I thought we could go to the park to have lunch.
WEATHER
We have been having alot of afternoon thunderstorms here. Nevada county has warnings for severe weather. I wouldn't mind if it would rain a little here, but PLEASE don't hail! I have been working way to hard in my garden and things are looking sooo nice.

MY BABIES
And my little babies are getting really big. They really are quite intertaining and are getting hard to catch. I let them out in the yard and they just eat bugs and things and sleep under the porch. Recently I needed to leave so into the box they needed to go. I caught all but the biggest one, Howard :). I simply could NOT catch him! Fine! so I left him for a short time seperated from his brother and sisters. When I came back outside he simply waddled up to me as if he were asking to be put into the box with the others! He did not try to run away this time. :) It was very comical.
As many of you know Will and I have not been able to have a baby yet. This has been somewhat of a struggle for me. Oddley, but standing to reason, hatching these little fellow seems to have satisfied that mothering instict in me. I would suggest to anyone who might be struggling with the same thing to try something like this. Maybe it's silly, but it sure has brought me joy!

MOM AND DAD
We also recently went up to Alturas to visit Mom and Dad. Their place is lovely. They work everyday planting trees and adding things out in the yard. Mom recently told me that she got a bike and has been riding it to work. Way to go Mom!!

FRESH FISH AND LES SCHWAB
And William... is fishing. :) It is his new summer obsession. (I am glad)
He found a great fishing hole and has been bringing home loads of fish. I found a great way to cook them. Simply place cleaned fish in a baking dish, add a cup of water, slice some lemons and put them inside the fish with a couple slabs of butter and salt and pepper. Do the same on top, bake at 350 uncovered for 15 minutes and wallah!
Unfortunatly Les Schwab is low on work so they needed to lay the new guy, William off. Thankfully it gives Will a chance to get caught up with his window clients. And he is on call in case they get busy.
I am proud of his accomplishments. The other day a customer called just to thank him for the great job that he did on their windows. This really blessed me.

So that's about it for now... I have been trying to not download my pictures straight onto our computer and need to figure out how to get them on CD. So my apologize for not having to many new pics on. I have so many I'd love to share, but you'll just have to bear with me I guess.

Well, by for now...
