Lisa Comes to the Rescue

Andrew's brother Sean was gracious enough to spare his lovely wife for a week to come out and pull our heads out of water with this pregnancy.  Lisa came for a week and the kids decided she needed to just move in and not go home.  They haven't stopped talking about her since either.  She came, she cooked, she girl talked with me, she played with the kids, she laughed at Andy's jokes, she cleaned - simply put, she was an angel.  Even Watson (our dog - sheesh I cant even remember if I've blogged that we have a dog now) had a share of her affection.  

 While she was here we had a FHE about Lehi's dream in the Book of Mormon.  Then we gave the kids the challenge to go and try to make something from that dream out of Lego   Lyman made the "great and spacious building" complete with pillars (fancy) and people drinking on the balcony mocking others.  Corilynn made the straight and narrow path that lead to the tree of life.  We were amazed at the detail they added and loved seeing their creativity.

We ended the week with Lisa with a trip to Amish country.  I stayed behind because I didnt want to ruin the trip by loosing it in the car.  But everyone else had a wonderful time picking out fudge and walking through the Amish hardware store etc.  We were so grateful for her visit, me especially.
