After seeing the picture I posted yesterday of Jonathan and I, Sarah asked me just how tall Jonathan is?
I was enjoying how tall he was so much that I called him from watching football to get the bowls down from above the stove….
Seriously, who needs a footstool when Jonathan is around, right?
Jonathan is 6’8″ tall. And I am 5’3″…here he is with Elijah.
Sweet, sweet guy and really, truly hysterical. He had us doubled over more than once yesterday.
After putting some of the littler ones to bed last night, we played Left, Right, Center.
Ever played it? Super, super fun!
Jonathan and Tellus goofing around.
Savannah seemed to keep cleaning up at Left, Right, Center…
We kept it pretty low key yesterday. Just a few people who might need some family time….because of their situation….and let me tell you, all day today I smiled. The meshing together of people who had never met each other – was beautiful. We laughed. We talked. We gave thanks over and over.
And then late last night my cell rang. Oh thank you sweet Jesus, it was that precious son we miss oh-so-much….calling from far, far away. It was so good to hear his voice. We talked for just a minute and the call was disconnected. We waited for him to call back. But he did not. We are thankful for that quick minute….
Around midnight, a few of us went into the hot tub. The temperature outside was a brisk 8 degrees.
Yes! Single digits!!
Then we decided for the kids to have their friends spend the night and a couple of minutes after 5 am I drove them to New Mexico to shop. We thought we would find some deals. All we found was that a billion {not much exaggeration} thought they would find some deals as well. We turned around in no time and headed home. We made a big breakfast and reminisced about the fun of yesterday.
Graham said a few minutes ago, “That was pretty dumb how the shopping was in New Mexico this morning, we won’t ever do that again. But we can laugh about it forever.” Yes, indeed, sweet son, yes indeed.
Please leave us a quick update on DW and your mom! I am praying so hard for you guys!!!! Am hoping that things are looking up for you. If you could squeeze my granddaughter (1 month 1 day) in with a quick prayer for guidance and maybe even healing – she has been 'labeled' deaf. She goes to a 3rd dr. on Tuesday. Praying for DW and your mom. I am praying for strength for you! You all need some easy times. God Bless!!
By the sounds of things your thyroid is working much better than mine is right now!!! You go girl!!!
I'm so glad you heard from your precious son!
How is DW fairing? I looked up how to play that game and it looks like it would be fun and work for all of the bigger kids to play as a family. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for posting that. Now I can stop guessing. I have a friend who is 6'8" as well. I'm 4'11 and a half" so for our college yearbook there's a picture of the two of us. The tallest and the shortest of the class.
I bet Jonathan gives the piggy back ride of a lifetime…….
