Andrew's Accomplishment

We went to visit Grandma Braun today. It had been a long time :( She was in the middle of Bible Study but she didn't seem to mind that we interrupted. Caleb and Olivia kept her laughing with all of their games and silly sayings. Of course I had to tell her everything they said because they didn't speak loud enough for her to hear. She was in a very jovial mood and we enjoyed visiting her.

I made some more Christmas treats today. I only ate two pecan delights (made a few days ago), one peanut butter ball, and two chocolate covered peanuts. I say only because I sure felt like eating a lot more of them. Yep, I am missing Gerald today and I often deal with my emotions by eating. I did go for a walk today - good thing!!!

Gerald was in Picture Butte today and is heading for Bethany tomorrow to take his niece and nephew out for supper. He will be home Thursday. You can bet that we will all stay up and wait for him no matter how late it gets. Caleb has asked me several times when dad is coming home.

Andrew finished reading the New Testament this week. Caleb is still in Luke - although Andrew started long before Caleb did. Way to go Andrew! I can not say that I accomplished that at his age, or even the next ten years after that. And, well, maybe even longer than that. He has an amazing heart that is sensitive to His Jesus! I love that about him.
