December 3, 2104

From Anne:

I didn't have camera batteries for half the day today, but in the morning we just did our schoolwork as usual. Our afternoon really picked up with activity, so then I was able to get a few pictures!


Here is David with a new Lego set. We went to Kroger after lunch and he brought all that change and wanted to spend it on a $50 set. I found a cashier who was a young guy who looked like he might have saved up his change to buy a lego set when he was a kid. He was very nice and helped David count out all his change. Turns out he got a holiday bonus discount so the set was only $21!


He put it together in no time! (But I made him pack his bags first, we are going on another trip). 

Jessie was out driving with Tim today so I didn't get any pictures of her. She practiced driving on the highway and then drove to the library for her volunteer job. After the library she babysat all afternoon, so she wasn't home. We picked her up at 6:15 just before we had to go to church. 


In the meantime, TJ took all afternoon to pack, as he usually does. He takes his time and organizes everything. But still forgets some stuff. Here he is putting the finishing touches on his bag.


While TJ is still packing, me and David (not Bill) make jambalaya for supper. We have to bring some to the church for Jessie and Tim.


We had a congregational meeting at church to let them know about the plans for our sabbatical, which we may not take if we are right in the middle of a church move. I didn't get the food to the church in time for Tim to eat before the meeting, so here he is eating in his office afterwards, while the kids talk to their friends downstairs.

We had both cars at the church, so Jessie drove one home! She almost hit a possum on the road on the way back, but she slowed down and let him waddle across like a good Kentucky girl.

Tonight: last-minute packing for Tim and Jessie, and then we'll be on the road tomorrow around 8 a.m.!
