This is what we do when Daddy is away

This week Scott is taking a week long class in Louisville from 8-5 every day. He wakes up at 5am then gets home late, has to study, or goes to bed. He is wiped out! Actually he has been reading 1000+ pages for this class the past couple weeks and then has several big papers to write after the class. Can't complain terribly much because he gets 3 credit hours for all of this during the summer.

Anyway, so Bella and I have been on our own this week. We've made two trips to the library, once to the gym, several times out shopping, playing in the baby pool in the backyard, reading books, and so forth. Then in the evenings we've been going to a back yard bible club that our church is doing in a local apartment complex. I've been leading the kids in music. Very fun indeed!

Here's us playing on the bed...

Normally, when Scott is home working, Libby (the dog) sits at his feet or in his lap. She has been very out of sorts this week. Bella thinks it is fun though because she has a new playmate. They have been after each other all week and then today.. they are actually playing with each other! haha, very funny, see the video!!

And I thought I'd add this awesome news to this posting.. we have a new beautiful niece! Joslyn Michelle Atkinson. My brother, Mike, and his wife, Amy, brought this little doll into the world this past Saturday. She weighed 9lbs 2oz!!! Way to go Amy! This is their second baby and I hear everything is going very well so far! Congrats!!
