We had a thunderstorm during the night. Kate got scared and knocked several plugged in things off the dresser. Jacob came into our bed at 8:30 and Adam woke up around 9am. We went out for drinks and donuts and got back home around 1o:30. Jacob was really excited that Jeanne and Leonard were coming over today for a visit. They arrived around noon. Just before they got arrived, Adam found his way to the dogs water dish. I found his getting his hands wet and then putting them up to his opened mouth. Jeanne and Leonard brought the boys birthday gifts over. Jacob got a remote control hummer and Adam got a large, sit on horse. Adam acted shy by Mommy for a little bit, but he had also just gotten knocked in the face by Truman. Jacob was excited as he watched Daddy put the batteries in the hummer. Jared grilled turkey dogs and brats for lunch. Around 1pm Adam lay down for a nap. Shortly after that we all went outside so Jacob could show them all his animals. First we went to the chicken coop and Jacob caught a couple chickens for them to see. Then we walked over to the goats and sheep's paddock. Jeanne and Leonard are the ones who gave us all five of our goats and it was fun for them to see them now. Jacob asked if they wanted to see his sand so we all followed him up to the riding areana. At around 2:30 they left but not without Jacob asking them not to go. Jared mowed the lawn and I took Jacob inside to rest. Adam woke up at 4pm. The boys stood on a chair by the kitchen window and watched Daddy mow the lawn and then watched him hook the hose up and clean the tractor deck. This evening we went to Bruce's work. He had called and said he found a child's bike seat at a garage sale so we went there to pick it up. Jacob fell asleep on the drive there. Bruce works at the waste water treatment. He gave us a tour of the place. Jacob favorite thing to see was the very large trucks parked in their garage. Though he didn't want to sit in it. Adam sat in the truck with Daddy. We stopped at Salvation army on the way home. I found some nice sketcher shoes for Jacob. While the boys were taking their bath tonight they were both splashing and laughing with each other. I was smiling as I watched them play and Jacob looked at me and said, "laugh". Jacob fell asleep tonight holding a clock that Jeanne and Leonard had brought for him.
