Tuesday in Maine

A highlight of the day was a short visit from http://www.xanga.com/coolmomofeight.  It is always fun to say hi to Michelle and get an update on her life when we visit Maine.

Abby got her hard cast put on this morning.  It was cast above her elbow so she can’t twist the two broken bones in her wrist.

Hannah babysat Andrew.  He was here at the house for a few hours, then she took him home when the large van became available.  Elizabeth was using it to do childcare for a Bible study at the military base, and Mark needed the minivan to go to Portland.  He drives motorcoach, and was taking the University of New England’s men and women’s basketball teams to a game at Lewiston.

  Hannah and Andrew were playing with a variety of animals and vehicles.

 The children presented Diane with her belated birthday cake.

We spent the afternoon and evening playing games, reading, visiting, and relaxing.  After receiving a phone call about Wednesday’s weather on the east coast, we decided to stay here one more day, so we don’t have to drive home in snow, sleet, and ice.
