Hey People! ;) How is everything going? I hope you guys are having a great week! Church today was super small. (We missed you Wilson group! :) But it was good, and the last family is just leaving. Our goat, "Houdini" (who we miss-named "Daisy Sofia" ;) got out and it took about 15 of us to corral her back. She had run way back into the field across the street, and we were hoping against hope that she wouldn't get into the woods over there! Thank goodness, she didn't! (But she did narrowly escape getting hit by a car twice!) I got to hold the most fat and delicious baby today! He has cheeks that are absolutely huge, and a dimpled chin, and Sarah can't fit her fingers all the way around his leg! So I sat on the porch and rocked Little John (as I like to call him) and generally had a sweet time! The others played volleyball. I was going to, and began to, but it was bright and confusing and boring out there, so I chose a baby instead. :) He really is the fattest thing! Mr. T. calls him a "Tater bug", and I call him a "Baby Snapping-turtle". :) So tomorrow is Memorial Day! Please remember to pray for our troops, and the families of those who died in protecting our country!
The Wilsons are having their annual picnic! Yay! I am making a mixed-berry pie for the young ladies' pie-making contest. I wish I knew who the judges are..... :) Tomorrow marks two things: first, the anniversary of my snake bite, (Remember that Oliver? :) and the second, THE FIRST OFFICIAL DAY OF BAREFOOT SEASON!!!!!! (according to Dad's rules. We've done some black-market barefooting already! :) I am using way too many exclamation marks and smiley faces, but I am in a happy mood!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) (Okay. That is irritating me.) Sarah is probably going to make a chocolate pie for the contest. We are all looking forward to having a "Garrison Team" made of Walkers and us, to play volleyball! "Move over lil' people! The storm's comin'!"
I am also excited about the music and singing we can do! The Wilson's uncle, (and I hear their new helper: Collin) can play banjo, and we have a veritable orchestra of guitars and some pretty fine singers! Well, have a great day! -Rachel
