While He Waited

&

Three Little Boys

Cerwin stayed home from TFC’s International Office today to help me with two chaplain’s mailings.  Because I wasn’t ready for him until the newsletters were printed, he asked if there was anything else he could do. 

Hmmm, I’m sure I can think of something. 

Yes!  I do have an idea. 

The ceiling lights in the kitchen need to be cleaned before our Christmas company arrives. 

That sounded like a good idea to him – and he was removing the globes for cleaning even before I went downstairs to the office.

The next time I came upstairs, the two sets of lights were finished, and he had pulled the refrigerator away from the wall to clean under and behind it!

Now I have clean kitchen lights and the area behind and under the refrigerator is clean!  Where did I find this wonderful husband? 

After lunch he went to the post office four times – once for the 2 p.m. mail pickup, then to get more empty trays, then to take another mailing for the 4 p.m. pickup, then again to get more mailing sleeves and trays that the delivery truck brought at 4 p.m.  After the fourth trip, Cerwin said, “It’s good we only live one mile from the post office.”

Guess who is here tonight.

Our little boys are back – this time to celebrate Jared’s half birthday.  Jared (left) and Jesse (right) are watching Ian play a hunting game on the kids computer.

Jared’s half birthday was a week or two ago, but this was a date that fit Jere and Kristen’s schedule for Christmas shopping. 

We will take the boys home tomorrow afternoon.
