Well, I am going to try to stay more current with my blog, so I thought I'd better do another post.

Some of you may be disappointed to hear that the church broke with tradition today. I did not get a petunia in a styrofoam cup for Mother's Day. We got little butterfly lapel pins instead. Makes the 4 1/2 years of pregnancy all worthwhile.

Here is a picture I didn't get into the last post. Poor Opa got bit by something while he slept a week ago Friday. By the end of the day he had a big goose egg on his forehead right behind his birthmark. But by the time I got home from work on Saturday, the whole side of his face was swollen, and he could hardly open his eye. He looked pitiful. He has such nasty reactions to bug bites. The sad thing is that the same bug probably bit me and died. To the insect world, I am the equivalent of Brussel sprouts.

This next picture is of Opa's new buck goat. Right now he is at the cute, non-stinky stage of life. If only it would last.

Now we have some shots of Grant helping Opa this afternoon as he was planting some flowers. I had picked up some Grant-size gardening gloves, and a Spongebob (of course) watering can. So Opa planted and Grant watered.

Anna and Eryn were here Friday and Saturday while Jim was doing some more painting at the house. Anna got her hair cut on Friday, and is donating her pony tail to locks of love. After her haircut, she and Eryn and I, along with Ruth, went out to lunch at the Brick House Cafe in West Milton. Later in the day we took Eryn to meet her Great Grandmother McCarty.

On Saturday, Grandma McCarty came to spend the afternoon. We had Micah take a 4 generation picture.

Now this last picture is from Grandma's doctor's (Dr. Pohlman) office. They are always dressed fo whatever season or holiday we are in. The nurses told me they are taking pictures of them for a calendar. I hope they sell copies.

Got to go fix supper - Take care, everyone!
