lauren, jake, jared, and brandon stop to say cheese after church (and the torrential downpour) this morning!

james woke up sick again. round two of the stomach virus. yuck. i got all the kids cleaned up, fed, dressed and off to church on time. jared and lauren taught jacob the bible study verse on the way there. they were all proud of themselves! afterwards, it was storming. go figure i was by myself and the car was parked out in the very back of the parking lot. luckily there is a covered breezeway to cafe express, so i took the kids over there for lunch. it was nice that katie and steve came with baby james and tim and rachel came too. fun getting to catch up with them and to have people to ride out the thunderstorm with!
