Busy Week...

So far this week has been a very busy week! It started on Monday when Tim was trying to get together all of the gear needed for Zac's first backpacking trip (Nate's 3rd)on Monday night. Our energetic Zac stood up in the baby jogger, which was sitting in the driveway, and it tipped over and he fell out and his head struck a big rock which resulted in lots of tears, blood, and terror! Luckily, after a quick trip to Arkadelphia to our pediatrician, it was determined that it was more of a puncture wound and since it was on the back of his head, it was decided best to not stitch or staple it but to just keep it clean and let it heal. Luckily there was no concussion either just a big goose egg. The doc said it was fine for him to go camping if he felt like it. So of course that is just what he did. Tim, Zac, and Nate hiked in about a mile or so to "Winding Stairs" a trail at Albert Pike. They filtered water, swam in the river, roasted hot dogs and marshmellows, and camped in a tent under the stars. The boys were exhausted by 7:30 and slept through the night! The were all so tired they didn't even hear the critter that got their food which was hanging in the tree!

I spent all day yesterday in Fort Smith finishing up a project there. I always enjoy my "work days" as it is fun to see different parts of the state and I even enjoy the long ride as it gives me time to think in silence!

Tomorrow is Nate and Zac's end of the year school program. Tim will be gone but Nanna and Papa Doc are coming for the mini production. Hopefully I can manage to get some pictures. And of course my sweet Ben is such a joy and getting bigger every single day! I'll try to post this weekend!
