getting out.

Jeff left on Monday and will be gone for two weeks finishing his fellowship. I am sporting it alone with my 3 beautiful, lovely, wonderful, obedient, calm, girls (if you say it, it will come true) I am seriously paperchaining it. (a term I use for taking it a day at a time) there are boxes everywhere, i can't seem to get anything done but seriously am in survival mode right now. deep breath!
A girl from chruch which I will now call one of my friends and is Emily D's cousin's wife, invited us to go to an outdoor concert today. We needed to get out of the house for sure and do something fun. It was an irish children's singer. Annie kate loved it. I think it is the funnest thing we have done since we got here.
There is so much to do here. I think we will go back on Monday for the science frog.
Here is a link to our photos of the day, check out the cool statues in the park of the rabbit, frog and turtle. photos. the above photo is of the ever so cute Lauren P.
My friend Tasha came today to visit., from PA. I tried hard to get a bunch of boxes emptied so my house would look normal, but then just gave up and said to myself. "This is the one time I have the ultimate excuse to have a messy house, so use it" Of course she wouldn't care anyway.
It was fun to meet her daughter, who looks just like her husband. Thanks Tasha for the Maryland book and the visit.
