Visiting everyone.

I was the first to shower so I got to use as much hot water as I wanted. Joe didn't like that idea as he didn't have much. I'm sure Nathan didn't mind as he didn't have to shower. We got to Presbyterian church just as it was starting. Nathan had a lot of fun in the Nursery today with the other kids. We talked to a few people after church & then headed home. On the way home, Laura called & said that she miscarried. She was 2 or 3 weeks pregnant.

(Notice the shiny pocketknife by Nate's left hand! Grandpa gave it to him to play with so he'd sit still. It didn't work.)

Joe finished his last quiz for school & then we planned on going to Monroe City. As he was taking the quiz, I called Mom & she said that Dad was gonna come to our house. So we decided to stay home. Then Mom called & said that Dad didn't feel good; we ended up going to Monroe. When we got there, Mom & Cindy were making tenderloins. They were very good!! I printed some stuff for Mom and then for Dianne. Once they left for their meetings, Nate & I took off to visit Aunt Ruthie.

Nate fell asleep on he way out there. I'm lucky that he stayed asleep when I took him in the house. He slept the whole time Aunt Ruthie & I were visiting. I had a few hard boiled eggs (thanks Julian), a few chips, & a couple glasses of tea. We cruised her basement for a bit and I got to see their new shower. Apparently, they've had it for about 5 years. Apparently, I need to visit more often! We loaded up the car & went to see Grandpa (Nate's Great Grandpa). We also showed Gready Grandpa Nate's new pillowcase. He thought it was pretty cool! It took Nate a while to get comfortable there. We stayed about an hour & then headed home.

We stayed at Grandma & Grandpa's for about another hour before we came back home. Of course, Nate & Grandpa had to listen to all the motors & engines before we could leave. Joe & I had baked potatoes. Once we got home, Joe unloaded the car while I got Nate. He didn't want to sleep in his room (of course). He cried & whined for about 30 minutes or so while I hid on the floor between the bed & the wall; under the windows. I made a run for it to pee. When I came back, he was still crying, I got Nate, the pacifier, his cup, & his pillow. He threw them all over the gate into our room. Within about 2 minutes (not exageratting) he was asleep in our bed, with his pillow. It's now 12:17am. Ugh.

My goal was to have all 25 chapters of Plum Spooky read by tomorrow so I could give it back to Tina. I'm still only on chapter 3.

I'm thankful for my Grandpa. Without him, no of my family would be here. I love you Grandpa!!
