We went to Redcrest today. We made a good start by getting off at 8:30. Driving through San Francisco was terrifying. We got on Hwy 1 going south. From Oakland on it was drizzling & raining. We made it in at about 8:00 PM.
7/2/1983: The weather didn’t look too good this morning but it turned out to be a nice day. We went to Fortune to buy some jeans for me and then we went to a Victorian town called Ferndale. We had a nice time there. This evening Robin & Dave came to our cabin to play games.
7/3/1983: We went with the Childs to church in Weott. It was a very different but enjoyable service. Afterwards we went sightseeing in the Redwoods. The boys got to wade in a creek and ended up swimming. For dinner a group of 16 went to the Samoa Cookhouse. Lots of delicious food!
7/4/1983: The day started with Virgil making delicious puffed button pancakes. Then everyone started gathering at the Childs for a huge picnic, games & contests. Stephen won the chip throwing contest. Then there were fireworks which Peter loved but Michael hated.
7/5/1984: We didn’t leave for home until noon. We had to take a tour of the museum and the old schoolhouse on the Childs property. Then we had to take pictures. We had an uneventful drive back (except for an RC truck that almost drove us off the road) and got home at 10:00 pm.
7/7/1983: 9:00 Dr. Hill Linda
7/10/1983: We had a terrible day with the boys today. They both knew we were in the next classroom and screamed and fussed so Mary couldn’t control them. She sent them over to us where they continued to fuss so much that Stephen had to take them out to the car.
7/13/1983: My new table and chairs came today. They really look nice and I’m so excited to have them. We put the boys high chairs away and will just have them sit on these chairs. Another milestone has passed.
7/15/1983: We’ve had the new table and chairs for 2 days now and already the boys are bent on destroying them. They were coloring with colored pencils and when I wasn’t looking started poking the chairs with them. Damage was not too bad (one small tear) but I was very angry.
7/16/1983: We went to Robin & Annette’s for a barbeque and swimming tonight and had a nice time. It has been hot all week so wouldn’t you know it would cool off today when we wanted to swim.
7/17/1983: Sunday school went very well today until right at the end. Then Michael happened to see that we had musical instruments in another class and he wanted to play them. Stephen told him he had to be potty trained to go in that class so now he really wants to work on it.
7/20/1983: Potty training Michael has gone very well. He made up his mind to do it and has only had a couple of accidents. Peter, on the other hand, shows no sign of progress at all.
7/21/1983: The two Bible Study groups got together tonight for a pot-luck and a prayer time. I really enjoy this group. While we were eating we had a small earthquake.
7/23/1983: Mom, Dad, Cindy, & Grandma Margaret came today. They brought all kinds of birthday gifts for the boys plus Mom & Dad took them to the store & bought them Smurf big wheels. We had a very nice day. I am really glad my folks are so close now.
7/24/1983: We were worried that today would be a challenging day for Peter since Michael went into the other class but he didn’t. We hoped it would be incentive for him to be potty trained. For the first time in months he didn’t cry at all!
7/27/1983: As a birthday treat for the boys we went to McDonald’s for lunch. I baked a cake and after church they got to open their gifts and have cake & ice cream.
The test results were positive – I am pregnant.
