Little Updates

We're all better now and all is well. We did have a scary day when Jennabee's temperature jumped up to 105.8 degrees F. I took her in and we found out she had double ear infections on top of the virus that went through all of us. Oh, and Austin never got it! Tough little bugger.

Today Joe and I were substitute teaching Austin's class in Primary. During sharing time when all of the little kids of different ages meet in the same room to hear a lesson from the Primary leaders, the Primary president asked, "What do we do when one of our brothers or sisters hurts us and says sorry and asks to be forgiven?" All of the primary said in chorus, "We forgive them!" That is, all of the kids except for Austin who yelled, "We call him a stinky poo-poo!" That pretty much describes the sibling relationships in our family.

In garden news, our tomato plants are HUGE and producing lots and lots of green fruit. It's hard to believe that they are the same plants that were on the verge of death a couple months ago. While we've already harvested a few juicy red tomatoes, we're patiently waiting for the rest to ripen and then I'm sure we won't know what to do with them all. I'm really loving this whole garden thing and I'm learning what I need to do differently next year (like not planting 12 pumpkin plants in a 4 foot square patch of soil--I had to pull most of them out).
