Sunday Morning... Feb 9th

Well Saturday was another busy fun filled day as we had two of the Ross kiddos spending the night and then here again until close to lunch time. Nancy fixed a large mountain breakfast of deer sausage, eggs and toast and the kiddos raved as did we. Delicious to say the least. Sam and I got caught up in a couple of the old games we had in the closet called Stratego and Battleship; he whipped me in both games. Bobby and I use to play those games many moons ago.

I did my abbreviated routines due to having a kiddo sleeping where I usually do my morning routines but it worked out as I headed to the kitchen table. You would think they would have slept in but both are use to getting up for school around 6'ish so I hadn't been up long before they awaken and was ready to go. They did play on their devices for awhile before we fed them breakfast. It was down right chilly with temps in the 40's but by the time they left for home the sun had warmed the outside temps up to the 60's with bright sunshine.

I headed out to hand water the gardens and everything looked good as there was no frost and then I helped the neighbor with checking out her well pump. I got that running and now it was pumping water with a great stream. We got ready to head over to Bobby's in Brandon as soon 1:30 and stopped by to pick up Sam who was going along with us. Amy was sick with a cold; coughing and snot nosed so she didn't want to be around the boys and infect them. Ava was at an overnighter at youth camp and Tyler and Eliza had a father daughter dance at Keswick that evening; so that left Sam to play with  Gabe and Annsley. They all had a grand time in the tree fort with a zip line that Bobby built in their back yard. Even Grandma Nancy was in the tree fort and did the zip line

Bobby and I took the boys on an hour long walk(them in the double stroller) around their neighborhood which they slept the whole time and really seemed to enjoy getting out in the warm afternoon sunshine. They are doing so much better and now are sleeping from about 10'ish until around 4'ish in the morning in their cribs down stairs. Bobby and Katie are still sleeping down stairs on the couches but if the boys continue to do so well they will soon head back upstairs to their beds. Bobby flies out late this evening for a few days so we will go over on Tuesday and spend the day and then Nancy will spend the night. Katie needs someone to be with her when both boys awake for feedings. Huck did well yesterday with very little spit ups and Ryder doesn't do much at all. They do like to be held but are even better at staying awake and not fussing.

We got back around 9'ish and dropped Sam off who fell asleep on the long drive back. I hit the showers and then watched the Lightning win against a N.Y. team. I was up early this morning(sun) for the load in at the college for BridgePoint Church, LATER

We celebrated Bobby's 39th birthday with a huge lasagna, salad and lemon pound cake Nancy made and brought with us.
