We are all so very thankful to be safely back home!! Thank you all so much for your prayers, and for following along here on the blog! It was fun to share everything with you!
We arrived home around 4pm on Sunday afternoon. After saying hello to all the animals, and unloading a few things, we were so blessed to have Lydia and Richie come by for a visit! It was sooooooooooooo good to see them!!! We missed them so much! And what a fabulous job they did taking care of everything for us while we were away! Everybody and everything looked great!
Monday morning, we "hit the ground running" so-to-speak with a few of us leaving the house around 7am for 3 appointments. Victoria and Valerie had eye exams for their contact-wearing process and Brielle had a quick check-up. Then, we headed to Costco to re-stock our pantry, refrigerators, and freezers, and on our way home, we picked up a mama goat with her baby that was born while we were away, and Anna, the princess canine, from the Smith's. I think we arrived back at home around 3pm, or so, just in time to get Timmy to his baseball practice!
Tuesday, we all spent most of the day detailing the camper and trailer. It felt good to get everything unloaded, put away, cleaned up, tanks emptied, and trailer returned to the Holborn's that night. We also made much progress on our huge mound of laundry, and Ted had to rescue Victoria and Caroline on I-5 that afternoon with a bad tire on their horse trailer. It took quite a while, as they decided all the tires on the trailer should be replaced. (All with a trailer full of goats. : -)
Wednesday, we spent the day getting the house back in order, and then welcomed Brielle's social worker for Brielle's monthly health-and-safety-check at noon. This usually takes about an hour. Then, off to Timmy's baseball practice, and I enjoyed going to DeGoede's to shop for some new flowers using my Mother's Day gift certificate! : -)
Thursday, Joseph, Brielle and I left around 7:30am for Tacoma. Joseph was referred to a pediatric eye specialist for severe far-sightedness. (The severity was quite shocking. However, on-the-other-hand, not so surprising, as this makes all 5 of our babies born at 32 weeks needing corrective eye treatments.) It is always an "interesting experience" driving up to Tacoma and in that medical area in particular, and the appointment took about 1 1/2 hours. Then, we went to Costco to order his glasses, ran a couple errands, and got home just in time to turn around to go back out-town for Timmy's second-to-last ball game.
And then, today, we have Timmy's last baseball game this evening!
