     Looking back on the last 2 1/2 weeks... it's all blending together and I can't figure out what in the world to post about (Josh didn't think I should use "heck" and if I go by how I was raised I guess I agree). Anyhow... um... most of this past week I either mowed or cut firewood. (I'm ashamed to say I probably violated every rule of chainsaw safety I've been taught all in the name of keeping the saw running. I'm getting as bad as the un-professionals back at home). It's always interesting working with the boys. A couple of them are hard workers most of the time, others it's hard to get them to lift a finger. I just have to keep reminding myself to look back on myself and my own work ethics when I was their age.
    In the afternoon I've gone swimming most everyday unless it's raining. My primary role in the pool is acting as the jungle gym to about three or four kids.
    In the evenings we've been staying up later spending time with the older kids which has been a blast. Usually it's playing wii or watching a movie and one night we played Uno with four of the girls.

    I'll try uploading some pictures now. Hope you enjoy

    Mary's nephew Jeff and his wife Joy and three kids were here for about a week and did a Backyard Bible Club with the kids. Joy took good care of us while they were here and is the one to be thanked for most of these pictures
