Sleepless nights

As you you may or may not know Jay is in San Francisco right now with some of our youth & youth leaders, and our Ed. minister. They're doing great, having lots of ministry opportunities and fun as well. They'll get back late Saturday night. Summers are hard. Luckily I got to go to staff camp this year...below is a picture of Jay and Andrew on the last day. I just love my boys! Anyway, there are usually at least 2, sometimes more, weeks where I'm here alone. Well, Andrew is here too, but you know what I mean. I haven't spent any time with anyone over the age of 2 since Sunday. Praise the Lord it's a church night and I get to go to choir! Seriously, I'm very excited!
I never sleep well when Jay isn't here. I'm not scared or anything like that, I just toss and turn and wind up falling asleep right before Andrew wakes up (6 a.m. if you were curious!). Anyway, I wish I was the type of wife who could enjoy time to herself, but I'm just not. God did not wire me to be alone. I have done a couple of productive things while Jay has been gone though. I moved our computer into our bedroom. It was in the dining room but because of my new table, there wasn't room for it anymore. I cleaned the house, and made chicken spaghetti last night. It's not Jay's favorite dish, so I made it since he wasn't here. I also froze half of if for the week he's gone to camp (beginning of July). I also made a banana bread...needed to get rid of some bananas. So now when I weigh 300 lbs. at the end of the summer, you all will know why. :)

New Table and Sick Andrew

We just got back from staffing a kids camp in Texas...it was WONDERFUL! I actually got to go and participate since Jay's mom lives in Dallas and she kept Andrew (thanks Nana). But now my little baby is sick. He started not feeling well Saturday I guess and now it's full blown. He's got a runny nose and his throat sounds bad...sorta been coughing but more than anything it just sounds gruff. I was supposed to be at VBS today but I didn't think I should chance taking him and contaminating anyone else. So you can pray that he feels better soon.
Also, I FINALLY got a new kitchen table. Jay found it at SAMs and it was a GREAT deal, so we got it Saturday. Thought I would post a picture for all of you who care. And for those of you who actually saw my other table and chairs (that should be condemned) you know this is a big step up! I'm so excited...now we can actually have people over for dinner.
