Bet you thought I fell off the face of the earth! No, I got the flu. so , I could do Nothing for a day. Do you know how backed up you get when that happens? I felt off kilter until yesterday. As usual, the weekend was busy and fun, and I left the camera filled with new batteries at home!
I got ALL the kids up and went to Ben's race Saturday morning because Michael had to work. He got his best time ever, 16:43! Ivy ran the open with a time of 21:46! In case these numbers have little meaning for you, it was a 5K race(3.1 miles). Ben placed 12th in the district. And I forgot the camera! We are excited for him to do even better this weekend at regionals.
Later we went to Farm day. It was put on by a local church out on a farm(imagine that) and it was free! Food, games, pony rides, petting zoo, a scavenger hunt. And we got the chance to participate in an attempt for a Guiness Book of World Records hayride!
At church, we had a special speaker. This is the strange part. Apparently, long after I had to leave the service (due to small children), the speaker said he had a message for "Laura". I had never even seen this fellow before. Honestly, I did not believe my husband when he said I was to talk to the speaker. When I did, He told me that God wanted him to tell me not to worry, that Dawn was coming. I am still not sure what to think about this.
