Smithfield Scoop

Hello All! After hoping to get to Arizona all summer long, and having the car loaded twice to go, only to be thwarted by someone thinking they were in labor, it was so nice to finally get there to check on Jenn! We had a delightful time holding and playing with babies, but mostly watching them constantly on the go. They were under the weather when we got there and had a rough couple of nights and a day of only wanting mom to hold them, but after they felt better, everything improved. They are delightful little folks.

We have a new piece of furniture that we are absolutely thrilled about!



 Dad has been busy today trying to put it to good use. It is still being finished and will have doors on the bottom middle part where we will hide the stereo. We have unloaded about half of our boxes of books so far and are trying to figure out where to put them all. There is a small bookshelf downstairs and the one from the front room is now in our bedroom, so there is room for most all of our books, we think...

The other thing Dad has been doing is painting. And painting. And painting. The Livingroom and "library" and laundry room. Still has the bathroom and bedrooms to go... sometime... 
And he's been working on the path down the hill. And taking care of the yard. I have been helping moms with births - 3 in 48 hours last week (the reason we ran down to Arizona!) and enjoying the gladiolus in our yard. Oh my goodness, they are lovely! I can't get over how beautiful they are! They certainly "cheer and bless and brighten" my days.



We are getting very excited to have the Texas Bellistons arrive! We can't wait to hold that darling baby!! We hope he will enjoy getting acquainted with the Belliston side of the family. Thomas and Victoria are planning to bless him on Sunday, September 6 at our house. You are all invited to come. We will let you know the time after that has been decided.

Have a wonderful week! Keep blogging and especially sending pictures! That's the best part!
