Candy Cane Smiley Last evening, Ladger and I left the boys with his parent for an 'over-nighter' so we could go to a Christmas party and be a little late without disturbing the boys. It was really nice - it's been awhile since I laughed 'til it hurt. And it was a real blessing in a day that needed a bright spot.

Earlier Ladger was not feeling well and so he came back in the afternoon for a bit of a rest. He's been doing a lot of work drying grain that was too wet when we combined it. Some of it had started to mold so it was quite urgent. So just before supper Ladger came in and said, "I guess we're done drying for awhile". I thought that was a good thing until he explained that the wind had blown over our largest conveyor onto another auger putting both out of commission for a good while (maybe for good). Not only that but the roads were sure to be icy (freezing rain) and we weren't sure if we should head out or not.

Sometimes it's hard to get going when everything seems to go wrong but often that's when we get big blessings. We were both so glad we had gone.

This morning was church and it was the first time Paxton went to the 18mos to 3 years old class. I was leading the singing and the craft time this morning and it was neat to see Paxton in there with the older kids. In a few weeks we'll send Rory over to the 4-5 year old class.
