Seriously?

We just tried to read this night out of a book by Barbara Park. It centers on a kindergartner named Junie B. Jones. My reaction to the book: SERIOUSLY? Even Ranne became wide-eyed when he heard her treatment of adults in the book and her whinning. Nice.

Aside from that, Trey is sick today. I put him to bed last night with a fever of 99.0 that developed on our drive home from bible classes. He woke at that temperature but it is now 102 with Tylenol. Lord willing it's a quick passing ordeal. He has no other symptoms other than not being hungry. I asked him, "Where did you get this bug?" He just said, "It was on my shoulder." He's been sleeping or slowly creeping through the house while wearing a greet hat, diaper and nightshirt. Very pitiful.

Ranne and Toby have been playing very well together this last week. Only today does it seem to be getting old. We need to get out and about, I think. Too much down time. I'm actually all caught up around here.

We're fairly certain camp sessions will all be closed this year due to fire danger and restrictions. The large burning outside of Los Alamos labs began five miles from the camp facilities. Unless a miracle occurs, Scott will not be able to teach this year. Everyone is praying it's God's will for it to open so we won't be surprise, though VERY pleased, if it does rain and camp is able to be held for the highschoolers, as well as other age brackets.

Baby seems to be doing well. She's violent at times. We are to have an ultrasound on Wednesday, our anniversary, to check out her progress. That should be a fun experience, if I can find a sitter so Scott can go.

Scott submitted plans to the city of Albuquerque today, the deadline, to change zoning and build an addition onto the Student Center. It is quite a feat to consider. The design that he and Garrett schemed up with the architect fits with all the neighborhood's goals, personality in design, and requirements. The addition is a second story, which the building was designed for years ago, so will take no additional property. Prayers for that to proceed without hangups would be appreciated. It would provide considerable funds for the facility so donations could be focused on outreach, at least more than building bills and upkeep. It would also provide a safe and affordable solution for housing to ministry students.

Brendan generously drew-up what the building would look like if built so it could be shown to the architects and others. The businesses who saw the drawings were very impressed with his talent. That was fun to hear!

Dad and Brenda are coming for a week or more beginning on the 8th. We're looking forward to that! Hopefully I remember to get out the camera and actually take some pictures! Remind me!
