Our weekend...

On Friday, I kept a friend's daughter while she was working since her husband is away on a mission trip. The little girl just turned two, but she loves playing with Rachel. And, Abigail loved having her here so it worked out quite nicely. While she was here, we spent some time outside on the swingset. It was Abigail's first time to swing. Here's a picture of Abigail swinging.



After my friend picked up her daughter, we loaded up in the car and headed to visit Jeremy's family in Searcy. Jeremy's younger brother, Micah, just graduated from Marine boot camp and was home for the week. We wanted to visit with him before he had to head back to San Diego. Also, Jeremy's parents were unable to make it to the girls' birthday parties so they had presents waiting for them. We had a nice visit and headed back home. We got back sometime after midnight. Here is a picture of Micah, Jeremy and Rachel.



Since we had such a late night, we all slept in on Saturday. When we got up, we spent some time outside. Jeremy wanted to work on painting our storage building. I gave both dogs a trim and trimmed their nails. Abigail played in the grass for a bit and napped inside for a bit. Rachel had gotten a bug net, bug box and magnifying glass from her Nana B. and Papa D. the night before and wanted to try them out. She spent most of the day catching different kinds of bugs. Here is a picture of her with her first catch, a butterfly.
