Well, I’m very happy to report that all sicknesses seem to be subsiding very nicely.  Laura still hasn’t gotten sick, and everyone else seems to be feeling better.

Luke felt good enough yesterday that we were able to do his birthday supper of biscuits and gravy.  While I would like to play the role of a modest cook, I simply have to admit that my biscuits and gravy turned out FANTASTIC!  Wow.  I was so impressed.  I used plain ol’ biscuit mix for the biscuits, but I made the gravy myself with hot breakfast sausage in it.  We all agreed we’re going to need to do that again!

I should also give you a chicken update.  Last Saturday we delivered our bucket of chickens to some friends out in the country.  They have new chicks of their own, so ours joined their little flock without any hesitation.  We also got to see some of their full-grown chickens of the same breed as ours, so the kids were able to see an “after” picture of the chicks.

This next weekend we’re hoping to do some yard improvements here at home that have been waiting for a long time to be finished.  As our kids get older, it is more and more enjoyable to work together as a family.

What are your plans for the Memorial Day weekend?
