Lots of Kiddos Around

 Eli had his first overnighter with Grandpa and Grandma and he did just super!  A happy little guy.

 In the process of  getting something out of the cabinet over the stove, I dropped a "special" jar on top of my glasstop range and the glasstop BROKE.  I was so upset (not that anyone could tell   haha).  The jar didn't break.....just the stovetop.  I immediately went online to watch a YouTube video how to install a new top, called Sears (never did talk to a human), ordered the top and it was delivered by UPS in four days.  You can imagine how Richard appreciated my suggestion to watch the YouTube video before he began to install the top.  We're back in business again!

 Every so often we meet the Nelson at McDonalds in Lawrence -- kind of a half way point for all of us -- for lunch after church.

 Brian and Eli didn't miss out on the meeting.

 Another new venture was keeping Westin and Camden for a couple of days while Brian and Carly went to Dallas for a Longhorn Show.  

Westin, Eli, and Camden

 Camden thought he had hit the jackpot.  Richard and I picked a couple of grocery sacks of apples and they were still in the garage waiting to be processed.  Before we knew it, Camden was chowing down on his own personal apple -- he was very pleased.  Let's just say the apple was truly "natural" !

 Lots and lots and lots of playdough time.

 Westin on a mission to work on his car.

 He's taking a look at the underneath side.  I don't think we tip our cars up that conveniently, though.

My third batch of applebutter.  Really, really good!
