As you know, Rachel Martin went to the ER Sunday morning with severe chest pains. The doctors in Atlantic diagnosed it as a mild heart attack and life flighted her to Creighton University where she's been since. The condition was worse than they first thought, so the doctors kept her longer for observation. She gets out tomorrow (Friday).
We've had their children everyday this week but yesterday. It has been a good growing experience for the Martins and our family! Having toddlers around all day is definitely a new experience, but we've been enjoying it! :)
Anyway, here's some pictures of different activities that we've done...
These first seven pictures are from before the Martin children. :)
Tree Lily
This is my poor three yr old tree lily. It is planted out front by the steps. Whenever we played Four-square out on the patio, someone was just bound to knock the ball over the railing and crush lilies. Finally, this year, we put the taboo on playing Four-square on the patio, and my flowers were able to bloom! :)
We all wanted ice cream one day, and not having any, settled on smoothies.
Abi threw strawberries, bananas, orange and lime icies.
Dishing it out!
Finished product
YUMMY!!!
Swimming with the Martin children
Rhoda & Ruthanna
KK and Joel were making themselves pleasantly (or might I say, uncomfortably) sandy. :)
Brie brought Kate along.
Playing in the sand.
Brie left Kate to watch Rhoda. Kate actually did a really good job!
Gracie has been doing so well in the water! She could hardly swim last year, but she's been swimming like a pro this year!
Sam, well, he's gotten lots better, but he still can't quite swim yet.
After the other children saw Joel & KK, they had to roll in the sand too!
Ruthanna, "swimming"
Joel and Kate
Rhoda loved the water! I don't think she was scared at all... that can be good or bad...
KK put sand deliberately on his face, but Brie was running out of the lake, tripped and fell face first in the sand. Yuck!
See Ben dumping a fist full of sand down KK's shirt?
Sand... Everywhere!
We couldn't keep Rhoda away from the water, so Brie suggested that we tie her up to Kate's leash. :)
Jonathan took her for a walk... :) It didn't last very long.
Drying off
The next day, KK took charge of Rhoda for Abi and I since we had a lot of work to get done. At nap time, he read to the little girls for quite awhile. Both girls slept for nearly three hours that day!
Sammy and Jonathan playing together.
Tomorrow, we head out to Holdrege for Josiah Smith and Joanna Ott's wedding. Stay tuned if you want to see pictures of the next Grice event! :)
