Wood, wood, wood!

This morning we had a truck load of logs dumped in the yard. Around 9:30AM, this huge truck pulls into the yard. The driver, Benji Brown (doesn't he sound like a cool dude?), decides it is best to put the load in front of the barn. He pulls less than 6 ft from the barn doors, and starts to dump his load. I can just see LOGS slamming through the doors. It took my 13 year old to say "Mom, he knows what he's doing" to get me to realize, yes, he probably did. I just pictured the dump going up, and all those logs sliding right out. On the contrary, I was SO impressed, as he basically laid them down in front of the barn and pulled away...amazing!

So...looks like we have our work cut out for us for the next few weekends--as well as a new log splitter in the future, as I don't want Bill out there trying to split those BIG ones!

Speaking of Bill...he had his Stress test on Monday, and it went great. We were both concerned since the Dr wanted his heart rate doubled, and we were afraid he'd have a hard time getting it there. But, he said he prayed right before he went in, and he knows that is where his strength came from. There were a lot of us praying that morning....thanks for your prayers! He had an echocardiogram at rest and one again at a heart rate of around 160. We are hoping with this info, the Dr can come to a more conclusive diagnosis. I spoke to the nurse yesterday afternoon, and she was shocked that Bill had been in already for his test....as it was just requested on Friday, and already done Monday AM! Thank heavens for cancellations and an awesome receptionist!! The nurse is going to see if she can pull up the results tomorrow and pin down the cardiologist to see if he can read the results, and possibly release Bill to dive.

Kristin has been busy the last few days. She saw an article in Family fun and has been working at building her own little fairy house. She spent at least three days on it. Here it is on day two....

Here it is after she finished it today....she put it out under the cherry trees--so that nothing would bother it. She laid fruit out for them on a table she made,flowers on another table.... there is a bed, a stool and even a pool with a bark slide. She was SO proud of her job. Now, she is waiting for the fairies. The article in this months Family Fun (not the same article as we have posted,but a follow up story) showed a boy who had made a house, and the fairies had come, eaten the fruit, swam in the pool, and messed up the bed. He never saw them, only their evidence. Kristin is anxious to get out there tomorrow to see if the fairies came to play tonight! We will keep you posted!
