The other night at the table Christian said, "Mom, when I get married I want my wife to have this meatloaf recipe and the enchilada casserole and your rigatoni recipes."
Talk about scoring some points!!!! I'm thinking that maybe I'll go ahead and start some recipe books for all 3 kids.

June, where did you go?
I can't believe I haven't written anything in such a long time!!! I'll give you a brief June update of the Gerber household (hopefully you won't be too bored!)
June 2-6: I was baby-sitting 2 additional kids. We were busy all week long!
June 8: Both the boys were baptized! Rod Vaughn, the missionary from the Crow Creek Indian Reservation, arrived along with 2 teenage boys and a 6 year old boy for the week.
June 9-13: Joshua's 8th birthday, my 38th birthday, VBS, baseball tournament, baby-sitting, company!
June16-20: Baby-sitting all week and go, go, go during the day.
Friday, June 20: Tim leaves for SD and gets back on Monday, June 30
Sunday, June 22: Both boys head to Camp Allendale and I pick them up on Friday, June 27
Baby-sitting, VBS, company, baseball, camp, mission trip PLUS all the regular day to day activities of our house - WOW! no wonder I was pooped when June got over!
It's funny though because looking at it like this doesn't really show how busy we were (zoo, children's museum, movies, bowling, swimming - baseball! etc.)
I know I said baseball a lot but it took tons of time. In fact, Joshua's team won his league but didn't advance in the tournament. Christian's team won the league, won the tournament and won a "world series" game against another local club.
Just a quick brag on Christian: during the world series game they had Christian batting 4th! He had always been 5th or 6th (come to find out he had the second best average on the team!). Anyway, his first at bat he struck out. His next 2 at bats netted him RBI's (both were pounded to left field). His 4th at bat for the day - HOME RUN!!!! He called Tim (who's on his way to SD for the mission trip) huffing and puffing about his hit! He also caught a fly ball playing second base and this throw from left-center to second base was the game winning play! Christian had the game of his life!!!!!
Anyway, our life has slowed down (woo hoo!) during July and August. I am very thankful for that. We are still busy but we have had time to slow down.
I've bored everyone enough, I'll do more on another day.
