Bucky is home and life is good. He got home about 3 on Saturday.

Last night Bucky spoke at Millerfield, Royce and Erica's church. Adam and I went and then we met Rick to get the Gossett crib for Baby#2. This crib has been in our family since 1875...at least I think that's the date. You know me and numbers. It's out in the garage since I'm not sure where we're going to put it.

Adam is pumped because we're going to the pool today. We've got lunch packed. He's been dressed and sunscreened since before 9. He cannot wait! He has three tball games this week. Our carpet is getting cleaned this week, we have a doctor's appointment, I have a meeting at school, and then I'm meeting with Beth Sneed who is doing my maternity leave. We also are having a block party at church on Wednesday for the 4th complete with fireworkds. All this and it's praise team practice week. Yes, I am worn out just thinking about it all. I still feel really good, but the girl who is NEVER hot is hot ALL the time.

Mom and Dad left not to long ago. We had a nice visit. Yesterday we went to the school so they could see my room and then we went to Adam's ballgame. He did a great job. He got two big hits. One went to the outfield! He loves running the bases. It was very hot!

We had ham, green beans, potatoes, and rolls for supper and then had butter pecan cake for dessert. I made the ham like Nancy does--in the crock pot with one can of fruit cocktail in heavy syrup. It sounds weird but it is delicious. You don't eat the fruit cocktail. It's for flavoring. We were outside some last night and right about dark it was actually cool. The breeze was refreshing.

Adam and I are just hanging out today. We may go out and about to do a few things. It's our last day without Bucky although I'd say they will get home later in the day tomorrow. I will be so ready to have a conversation with Bucky face to face and not via cell phone. This gets old.

Adam and I went to Cynthiana on Monday after the doctor appoinment. Baby was fine and he'd turned so all systems are go. I had not dialated any though. We go back in a week.

We had a fun time at Gran and Granddad's. Nana, Poppy, and KK came over for supper and that was great. I shopped in Lexington on Tuesday at the Parent Teacher Store and Babies R Us. I worked at school on Tuesday night and most of the day today. I am sore and tired, but I feel really good about my room. There's only a few things left to do. Now I need to work on my plans. I also need to plan the service for July 5. There is always something....

Today is our nine year anniversary. How exciting! Guess we'll celebrate when Bucky gets home.

Here are Adam and Heath playing football in the heat of the day at camp. Bless his heart! I didn't get a picture of the three of us at camp, but Allison did get one of the two of us. Nine years on Wednesday!

We've had a fun couple of days. Adam and I had a good time at Wilderness Camp with Bucky. It was HOT but all went very well. As soon as we got home from camp on Friday afternoon, it was time for Adam's ballgame. He did awesome! He got to hit three times and made it all the way to home plate each time. He was so pround! We ate a quick bite at The Cove and then it was home to get Bucky's laundry done so he could leave for the mission trip. They left out at 10 this morning. Adam and I spent 11-3:30 at the pool. He got a little sun on his cheeks where he rubbed his eyes and I guess rubbed off some sunscreen. He jumped off the diving board most of the time. By the end he was yelling, "Cannonball" before he would jump. It was hilarious. I packed our lunch but he wouldn't stop to eat so he's eating now and watching a show. I'm hoping I can keep him awake and then go to bed early.

Our trip to the pool wasn't as long as I hoped, but I think it was a good idea to go yesterday instead of today according to the radar. We saw Judy, our neighbor, at the pool and she said her girls had found a turtle the other day. I told her we were jealous because we've been looking for one in our yard since Adam had been learning about them at daycare. She brought the turtle to our house last night and he's going to stay a few days before we put him back in his environment, probably in the pond across the way.

Adam is back in a train mood. Last night he got out all his track and built two huge train tracks. He was proud of what he'd done. It's funny how he won't play with things for a long time and then start back up.

He's still asleep this morning. I've enjoyed watching Today. I hope to get out and about before the rain comes.
