Make Things Beautiful
1 day ago
The other night Josh & I had the privilege to watch my friend Amy's baby for the evening.
It had been awhile since either of us had cared for an infant, but once we got there, everything just kinda came back to me. And it didn't take Josh long either to be comfortable with baby Q.
We did the whole thing - feeding baby dinner, entertaining baby, playing with baby, giving baby a bottle, burping baby, changing diaper, putting baby to sleep...
Here are some pics from our fun evening!
feeding the baby, mmmm, yams & corn...
messy baby...
happy baby...
the boys watching the food network together...
still smiling...
another smile...
Pretty soon Josh & I will be spending time with his 3 1/2 year old nephew. We passed the infant stage. How about toddler?

Is 7:30 too early to go to bed?
What about 7:45?
By the time I get ready it will be 8:00.
Does 8 work?
Why am I SOOOO tired?!?

I am having a great (!!!) time in Wisconsin surrounded by people I love.
Right now we're relaxing in the basement playing games, watching a movie, reading, laughing.
We are being treated like royalty by Jay & Ginny. And we are getting so spoiled.
We got in late last night (1 AM local time) and then stayed up for another couple hours getting the grand tour of the house and munching on Ginny's famous Spinach Artichoke Dip and Corn Dip and Puppy Chow.
This morning we were treated to a lovely pancake and bacon breakfast along with coffee and orange juice. The 8 of us gathered around the kitchen table in the great room, talked, ate, laughed, shared stories, and shared in Scripture and devotions.
We then headed to downtown Rice Lake to do a little shopping at some cute, local shops. We headed home for a quick lunch before going south to Chippewa Falls. We got a tour of the Leinenkugel Brewery. I'd never been to a brewery before, and it was quite entertaining! I also enjoyed the architecture of the brewery buildings.
Then it was back to Rice Lake. We hung out in the great room. Josh played the piano for us, and we prepared pizzas to make on the grille! It was so fun to each make our own pizza exactly how we want it. Jay & Ginny had picked out such fun toppings (grilled chicken, alfredo, pesto, teriaki, etc. in addition to all your traditional toppings). We enjoyed our pizzas on the back deck and told stories.
And now relaxing in the basement and sipping more coffee. Decaf of course.
I'm so happy.
After much stressing and worrying I was finally granted early dismissal at 1:30 today - hooray!
Now it's time to pack - always the procrastinator...
Very soon I will be picking up my brother Andy, meeting up with my boyfriend Josh and gathering at my parents' and then picking up Andy's wife Jen and hitting the road for 8 hours in the family mini van!
We are on our way to Rice Lake, Wisconsin to visit our friends Jay & Ginny for the weekend.
Coming back we will briefly stop in Necedah, Wisconsin for a G family cookout, woo hoo!
Jay & Ginny have gone all out preparing for our visit. We are all SO excited!!
Here we are the last time I saw them - February at my church after they came into town for my birthday party.
