What a week....

It has been a very interesting 7 days. Duncan and I went to a Pastors Conference last Fri/Sat.  We had a great time away - enjoying time with our Senior Pastor Terry Tharp as well as James & Liz Newman (Worship Pastor).

 

We came back home to pick up our kids from our friends' house and barely got in the door at our place before we realized that Blaire had a fever.  Thankfully it only last 24 hours, but the cough stuck around much longer.  Graeme was next... coming down with a fever on Monday night.  His cough was much deeper in his chest, but also much more productive than Blaire's.  Paige had tummy issues and a mild fever last night. 

Duncan and I have been feeling a bit run-down.  Especially today.  Paige had us up till 2am. 

We've been trying to stay healthy - especially because Duncan has a big event going on this Saturday with all the other youth groups in town - expecting a lot of teens to come hear the bands and the speaker at Rock the Corn.

Coffee Soap

Question: Does it taste good if you have to wash your mouth out with coffee flavored soap?

We had some guests this weekend and they found out about my love for coffee - they left this little treat for me as a thank-you.  Sweet!

Glasses & Power Outages

We had record breaking rainfall yesterday - 1.12 inches - more than October 16th has seen in a long time.  (This broke the record of 1995 where we had .72).  

Then we had gusty wind today. 

Then a tree went down across the road. 

Then we had no power. 

Thankfully it came back on only 2 hours later - and the weather is somewhat warm outside, so it wasn't uncomfortable in the house. 

We decided to take advantage of a 'free' day to go to the mall to get Blaire Rose some new glasses.  We purchased some new ones in August and have had to have them repaired 6 times in six weeks - the lenses just kept popping out no matter how well they shaped them.  We finally just picked out a different style and are having them made with her prescription this weekend.  Quite honestly, I like this new style better than the one we picked out in August, so it works for me - just a bummer that we've had so many issues with the previous pair.
