Week of September 23

Sunday: 

Lunch was a bit delayed before we headed back to Indiana.

 

Monday and Tuesday:

I got a big bag full of apples from my mother-in-law who got them from her mom (thank Grandma Connie!). Both nights were mostly spent peeling and slicing these so that I could get them in the freezer for future baking bliss. The only problem is my raw fruit allergy so if I accidently scratched anything on my face, it would start to horribly itch. Of course, knowing that, everything on my face seemed to constantly itch.  Oh, also, my husband has some sweet apple peeling skills.  He can peel an apple faster than I can slice one with an apple slicer. He saved me so much time.  :-) 

 

 

I also am not good with a very sharp apple slicer. Dr. Doofenshmirtz knows how to make everything better.

 

 

Wednesday:

There’s a storm brewin!  I love when the sky looks like this.

 

 

Thursday:

I’m not sure what happened, but it looked like a flock of birds exploded. An entire street downtown had these feathers everywhere for several blocks.

When I was eating dinner with Caleb before my class, I got bit by a mosquito. I think my allergy to these seems to be getting worse. My foot got all swollen and itched like crazy. This picture was right after it happened, so it got a little puffier after this. Although I did find that rubbing apple cidar vinegar on it helps with the itch.

 

 

Friday:

We drove to St. Louis on Friday after I got off work (yay for half days!)  We got to go eat dinner with John and Laura. It was so so good to see them (and their new puppy!). For a class Caleb has to interview two couples regarding marriage and ministry. One couple had to have been in the ministry for at least 25 years (Caleb interviewed his grandparents for that one the weekend before since they have been in the ministry for well over 50 years). The other couple had to be in the ministry for less than 5 years. This is Caleb interviewing John and Laura.  They couldn’t look at each other because apparently they couldn’t take each other seriously. Ha.

 

 

Saturday:

Family Reunion day! This was a family reunion with my mom’s side of the family. I stole these pictures from my ant’s facebook. (And yes, I call her ant, not to be confused with aunt.)

 

 

We took our family Christmas card picture. So if you get a card from my mom at Christmas, here’s a spoiler alert.
