What a Weekend!
Thursday, April 10, 2008
Well, I am sorry I have not been able to post for awhile. We have been quite busy with getting everything ready for LucyLillie's party that was Monday. On Sunday, my Grt. Grandparents and Mom's dad came over for awhile to spend time together. Lucy got a couple presents and then we just spent time talking. Jocelyn showed Grt. Grandma the icon she made for the Feelin' Feminine Challenge using the picture from their wedding. She was thrilled when she saw it. That picture is one of my favourites, if I may say so myself. :)
Monday was a whirlwind of fun! I got up around 9:30am to do chores with Eric and make sure everything was spick and span for when the company arrived. We did two or three tubs of dishes before lunch, and then when lunch was done, there was two more tubs to do! Oh... dishes accumulate so quickly. :( The only bad thing was that Lucy-Goosey wasn't feeling too well. We think she is cutting a new tooth, but she was kind of warm all day. Grouchy... poor baby. She had a fun time wit her presents though!
Around three Breezy, Emily Rose, and their Mom got here. It was kind of awkward for the first fifteen minutes because we didn't know what to say. Haha. Like it always is with meeting new people. Emily Rose got out he camera to take some pictures and Eric and Hannah wanted it. There are more of the Emily Rose and Breezy with the Littles than of Lucy!
Our neighbour also came by for awhile. We ate a delicious dinner of spaghetti, with green beans and peas for vegetables. Oh and don't forget the delicious garlic bread too! Everyone enjoyed it. Jocelyn and Amanda made it, the famous Dixon Chefs. After that, Jocelyn frosted the cake. Amanda had Dad pick up some strawberry frosting and she decorated the sides of the cake with that and wrote on the top. It was a pretty nice homemade birthday cake. We ate it with some Neapolitan ice cream. The funny thing about the ice cream was that the girls hadn't thought of scooping it across the entire tub, getting all three kinds at once. We joked about that for awhile.
While we ate our ice cream and cake, Lucy opened her gifts. she got the same dresses from Breezy and Emily Rose as she got from my Grandma Starr. it was funny. But now we have two, so if one gets dirty, she can wear the other! Haha. They are so cute though. Ones green and ones pink. They are both dresses too. She also got a purple sweater that is the cutest ever from the B's.
After that we hung around. Breezy and Emily Rose went outside for a little while. Breezy played football-catch with Eric and Dad for a bit and Emily Rose and I talked. We went in for awhile, and Emily Rose showed Jocelyn how to do a few tricks on PhotoShop. I sat on the swing set for a little bit pushing Caleb and watching Eric and Dad play catch. When I came in, Eric and Emily Rose went and fed the chickens. Mrs. B also came down to the barn while we did the chores. I gathered the eggs, and fed Pemberly. They all loved the goats and we spent about fifteen minutes down there petting them and talking. After that it was getting dark, so they had to leave. :( I was sad about that. We took some 'farewell' pictures before they left. We could have stalled a little longer, but they really had to go. They left around nine.
All in all, it was a good day. Lucy wasn't feeling well for most of it... poor dear... :( She ate some crackers and ice. Just not a good day for her birthday! Well, maybe she will be better tomorrow. Oh and we also got a call from Auntie Christina. They all sang happy birthday to Lucy on the phone. It was so sweet.
Guess who's birthday is coming up next? Yep, Jocelyn. She is having a grand party with lots of things.. not exactly sure what is going to happen. I know she sent out lots of invitations. We are hoping that Breezy and Emily Rose will be able to come with both their parents. It will be fun anyways... :)
Ok, well, I had better go comment now. Hope you all have a lovely day! God bless you.
Rachel

Hi Rachel!
It sounds like you have been a busy girl...but having lots of fun! I'm SO excited about this spring-like weather that we're having. Hasn't it been wonderful? I hear we may have some snow, this weekend...eeek! Oh well, I'm sure it won't stay long. At least I hope not! I'm very ready to plant my garden and my chickens have started to lay again! I'm a pretty happy farmer's wife. :-)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Amy
