Lazy Saturday

Saturday we woke to rainy skies, and snow on Iron Mountain. It was chilly enough last night to start a fire in the wood stove, just to take the chill off.

Bill & Ryan were up at 7:00AM, Kristin & I slept until 8:30AM. We had coffee, and breakfast, and then Bill put some shelves in the trailer while the kids & I rid up breakfast, emptied the dishwasher, and tidied up a bit. At 11:00 Bill came in with a migraine (he'd woken with it) and he went to lay down. He asked if I'd lay down too. Big mistake, as we slept until 1:30! We did go to bed late last night, but still...

We had lunch, and then Bill went up into the attic to see where our small leak in the kitchen was coming from (Declan noticed a water spot on the ceiling as we were eating lunch yesterday as it was raining so hard), and Bill found that our chimney cap that had blown off some time ago, was allowing water in to run down the roofline, and hitting the boxed area for the skylights, and right down into the kitchen. We are praising God that it's not our skylights! We will get the cap back in place, and screw it down this time.

Ryan and Bill played a new computer game that a friend of Bill at work gave him. This friend makes Christian Adventure games, and he gave Bill a new game to see if he could find any bugs in it before they produce them. Ryan & Bill had lots of fun today. Kristin played in her room all day, and I worked on some school things....and had another dozing nap on the couch! What a lazy day. The kids made yummy brownies this afternoon as a "pick me up"!

We watched more episodes of Smallville before heading different directions to bed. You can also see that Ashley is feeling so well that she crawled up the couch, and took her usual spot on Bill's chest. It's good to see her feeling so well. She even tried to get out of the house today...we're going to have to keep close tabs on her once she gets that cast off!

More soon....
