Yesterday

I got up Saturday morning to my son making breakfast. He cooked up diced sweet potatoes, sausage links, and a batch of specially spiced scrambled eggs. He served orange juice in punch cups and invited us to join him. The eggs were a little "different", I probably prefer mine plain, but it was really nice to sit down at the table and eat breakfast together. Even with a sit down at the table breakfast, Hannah and I were able to get out of the house early. Probably because someone else was doing the cooking and clean up.

We ran our errands early and got home early enough that James and I could ride down to Auburn, spend a couple hours with Joe, and be back before dinner. We took him his mail, a monitor for his computer (now he doesn't have to use his buddy's TV), and went out to Moe's for something to eat. It's a relief to see Joe living in a good place. The place he was previous was getting a little scary and he was never relaxed being there. He's sleeping better, eating better, and looking better. (An answer to prayer.) We got home around 5:30 pm, in time to have a relaxed evening.

The little ones were still here before church this morning. Hannah got Aubrey dressed and fixed her hair. "You're beautiful!" I told her, and she looked up at me with that sweet little face and said, "I'm Spiderman!" How 'bout that hair?

    1. Hannah does a fantastic job on little girl's hair. Funny thing is, she never wanted her own hair done up.

  4. How nice to wake up to a hot breakfast!

    I am also glad to hear that Joe is doing so well. Love the picture of him smiling.

    I love Aubrey's braid. She doesn't look like Superman to me. How about Wonder Woman? ;)

      Spiderman, she's Spiderman.

  5. Good news that Joe is doing good. You breakfast sound good, and a little different.

    The braid is beautiful. I used to French braid my girls hair, but could never do my own.

    1. I never really had a girl to practice on. Well, maybe Hannah, but by then I was trying to keep up with seven kids and learning how to French braid wasn't on the top of my priority list. I'm just blessed to watch my girls do it. Somehow, in spite of my lack, they are masters. :0)
