Here is a recap of what we have been up to. Friday morning started with Doug staying home! Because we have received so much rain, there is not much for them to do at work. The fields are way too wet to plant. Therefore, the department got the day off. This was super nice because Doug got to go with Dallas and I to Dallas's therapy session. Lelsie was very excited about the progress Dallas has made with his neck strength. He still has a way to go; he doesn't want to turn and look to the left, but he is holding his head up while on his tummy and when held upright.
After the therapy session, we made stops at Aldi's, Wal-Mart, and Fareway for some groceries and household items. Then, it was back home to finish cleaning and mow the yard. We ended up grilling out Friday night because the weather was so nice. I even made a rhubarb pie! It was delicious!!!
Saturday morning, Doug, Bob and I went to Dyersville for the National Farm Toy Summer Show. Connie had a headache so she decided to stay home. Then, we asked if she would want to keep Dallas...well, needless to say, it didn't take much to convince her! We grilled out again Saturday night.
Sunday, we went to church via a new route (the way we usually go has a road closed because the river is over the bridge). When we got to church, a storm was rolling through and knocked out the power. We then had a very short mass by candlelight. We ended up staying home Sunday because it rained all day. Doug and Bob finished displaying Doug's tractors, and I finally got a chance to put some pictures in photo albums! That evening though, we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.
Monday morning, Bob and Connie headed back to rain-soaked Indiana, Doug went back to work, and Dallas and I regrouped from a busy weekend! Yesterday, we were to have our last meeting for the Couple's Prayer Group at our church. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it there. We tried 4 different routes and got stopped each time because of flooding. It is beginning to rain again. Luckily, where we live is not close enough to a river to give us great concern of flooding, but many cities are having to evacuate quickly without having the chance to gather any kind of belongings. Please, keep all these people in your prayers. We are also very aware that other places (including Indiana) are experiencing heavy rains and flooding, so know you that you are in our prayers.
Alright, now pictures!

Dallas and Grandma ~ Friday evening
Dallas and Grandpa Bob ~ Saturday morning
Dallas got another tractor. This one is not for play though. It was the show tractor for the 2008 Pork Expo. So...it is stamped/dated 2008 ~ a reminder of the year Dallas was born.

Grandma even helped with bath time!
Check out the belly on that baby!
A little photo shoot with the quilt Aunt Pat made. Dallas wasn't too excited about having his picture taken at the time.
Here we are at Texas Roadhouse!
Dallas cleared his plate fairly well!
One last picture before Grandma and Grandpa left for Indiana.
Don't worry...we'll be seeing you soon!
Sorry for such a long post! Have a good week and stay safe!
Until next time...
