My Father's World Adventures: We learned about Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming in our state study. We read about Robert Fulton's Diving Machine, a machine for cutting grain, the sewing machine, and how the telephone was invented in Exploring American History. We learned about sound and air in the First Encyclopedia of Science.

Other Activities this Week:
Tuesday we had to take Christian to the dentist. He had started complaining on Sunday that he had a tooth that was bothering him. I looked in his mouth and could see the cavity. First thing Tuesday we drove down for him to get it fixed. I was going to take the children to the movies after but we had had a really bad storm Monday night and half the city of Texarkana was still without power. The movie theater was in the half with no power. I bough the children some ice cream and drove them home.
Wednesday our new baby chicks arrived! Aren't they cute??
Thursday I spent the day at Urgent Care. Long story short I had been having pain under my ribs and around my back since Monday and felt awful. When I didn't feel better by Wednesday I tried to schedule a doctor appointment but they had no openings til Monday so Thursday I ended up at Urgent Care. They ran some tests and told me to follow up with my regular doctor. So I got to spend Friday and Saturday on the couch and am still supposed to be taking it easy, no lifting, stretching, or straining and I may have to have more tests ( I hope not!) They also found another issue that I have to have monitored. It was not a fabulous day but I am thankful it wasn't anything terribly serious.
Sunday was our anniversary. After church we took the children to the movies. They had power this time!
