It has been a really long week. Doug and I both worked extra shifts juggling Emily around to babysit either Nicolas or Rici or both. It was a long week for her too. She made some good money but told me that babysitting was exhausting. She said “now I know why you are always so tired at night.” She enjoys it and the money and wants to continue babysitting Rici on Tuesdays though.
Today after church I drove the truck into Portland to pick up Lexi and Jacob! They have been gone for two weeks!!! We miss them! Once we had them all loaded we headed on to Milwaukie to pick up a futon from a really nice couple. It was such a score! I found it on Craigs List. I was so excited to finally have a couch in the back room. The kids have been using camping cushions. It is perfect. Soon I will stain it to match the rest of the wood work in the room.
