You know it is busy here when I don't get a post up in a week. Oh, it has been busy! I just got home from a very long meeting at church (I told Tom that I could have had the info covered in 1/2 hour.) I realized tonight that Lutherans pause for long periods of time, feel the need for everyone to share and are too polite to ask the really chatty ones to button it. Anyway, I don't have new pics, but I have a cute Luke story!

On Mother's Day, Emma made me breakfast in bed, then they all joined me and helped me eat the food. They were all so cute. They all made very interesting gifts at school and I got a baking stone to make bread on and an I phone (which I haven't actually gotten yet, but Tom promised...) Anyway, Luke was just giddy about it being a special day. He came up to me and said, "I just love Mother's Day! I even told Dad, 'Thanks for marrying Mom!'" Can't get much cuter than that!

Nicholas is sick, and will probably stay home tomorrow. Just a head cold, but oh, my, is he a pitiful sick kid. He moans and groans... Emma would be running and climbing a tree if she felt the same.

This weekend Tom is planning on taking the kids to Kansas City and I will have the whole weekend free. I can't wait! I will be a bit cranky if I have to stay with sick kids instead...

All for now!
