Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isa. 43:18-19

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Visiting the county fair

Last Friday, we went to the San Juan county fair in Farmington. The first things that the kids saw were all the rides. They were very expensive to ride at least 3 dollars per ride per child but we decided to treat the kids to just a few since they were so excited to see them. Then we headed down to the animals at the other end of the fairgrounds (it was a very large area!!). We saw the typical fair animals like goats, chickens, rabbits and such but we did see a few unusual ones like peacocks, turkeys and pigeons. We stepped in the "rodeo" barn for a few minutes to see the horse riders practicing together. The kids were more interested in running back and forth on the metal bleachers than watching the riders!!

We continue to work on our house. We bought a new computer desk and matching bookcase for our play/activity room. We also replaced our two old mismatched filing cabinets with a vertical 4-drawer one which makes more room for important papers. We have also unpacked all of our wall hangings from boxes and will be putting things on the walls in the next few days. Things are looking better and more organized each day sometimes a little at a time. Ryan has been busy assembling furniture and painting the medicine cabinet in the bathroom that is mostly likely the original cabinet given its condition. It does look a lot better now since the rust is covered!!
