We got up Sunday morning, ate breakfast, and attended church services. For lunch, we met my family at HuHot. We did a mini celebration for Malachi's birthday. He was happy to get Legos, clothes, and (of course) money! After a eating our fill, we went to the hospital to visit a friend and her newborn! When we finally arrived at home, Malachi was anxious. He opened up his Legos and started building away. Both kids enjoyed the afternoon playing with the new neighbor kids.
Monday was Malachi's birthday. I went to his school and had a special lunch with him in the cafeteria. After work, we took Mysia to piano lessons. Lydia attended her Zumba class that evening, and the kids got their homework done quickly so they could play outside for a while before supper. Malachi read a book before bed, showing off his advanced reading skills.
We had a good evening on Tuesday. Both kids got their homework done in good time. We enjoyed supper and they watched some TV. I attended the men's Bible study I have been going to for the past several weeks. I'm really enjoying learning some to life applications through this study. When I arrived home, the kids were already asleep in bed.
Wednesday evening was spent working on the kids homework. Both did well with the assignments. We watched a bit of TV and relaxed before bedtime.
On Thursday, both kids lost a tooth. Talk about making things exciting! Both got their homework done in great time and we ate a quick supper before heading out for small group Bible study. It was awesome fellowship as we studied and discussed 2 John 2. It was a bit late when we arrived back home, the kids were worn out and quickly fell asleep once in bed.
As usual, Friday was busy. The kids were active once home from school. With no homework, they were a bit wired! They played outside enjoying the weather, then we had game night with Mario Kart being the main choice for the evening. We also watched a TV episodes as well. Lydia worked on the menu for the next few weeks and then put together a grocery list.
We woke up Saturday morning and quickly got our weekend house chores completed. Lydia did the grocery run while the kids and I fished a few things around the house. Showers were taken and we got dressed and ready for Moses' wedding. We headed out to the church, and actually made it with 20 minutes to spare before the ceremony began! After the wedding, we attended the reception, visiting family and friends. Several pictures were taken with family as well. While outside and watching photos being taken, Malachi stepped on a lid for one of the sewage covers. It flipped and he fell through! Thankfully, he had spread his arms out, and caught himself from going all the way under. The sewage only reached up to above his waist, when it was over 6 foot deep! He started hollering and I was able to rush over and lift him up out. Whew….! We were able to wash him up and he wore extra clothes before we got home. It was a scare. After a quick change, we met up with Lydia's family for supper before several had to head out of town. It was a good visit, and the cousins got to say good-bye. Once back home for the evening, we washed clothes, rested a bit, and played with Buttercup. Thankful to still have Malachi with us... What a day!
